    Am I that important/Stats Canada

    Had to be away on farm business for a couple days returned this morning and went right to work , when we got home this morning there was the message from Stats canada "call us at your earliest convienence blahblah file # blah blah" well it wasn't cause my work comes a little more first. So came in tonight and my wife said you have to see this the call display reads they have phoned 9 times so far today alone for a total of 17 in the last 3 days.

    Good fricken grief!!!
    Program cuts everywhere and they've got time to phone 17 fricken times , I don't know about you all but call once leave a message and I'll get back when I can. Call 17 times and I'll call you right back as soon as hell freezes over.

    My taxpayers dollars at work.

    And to answer my own question no I am not that important.

        Even set to block caller number in
        telephone machine. And there other new
        number coming in so gave up and answer
        the call and they want know how many
        acres seeding. Good Heaven they has so
        many call numbers to keep calling.
        Really not that important report. Next
        time charge them for inconvenience.

          The last few years I tell them I don't discuss business when I've been drinking.
          Its especially funny for the 8am calls.

              I tell them that I've already had a brush with identity theft, and have no intention to give out any information over the phone to anyone. Click!
              That statement is mostly true anyway.

                  Just tell them that you quit farming answer a couple of questions about why you quit and have not had a phone call in 2 years.

                    5/18th I guess they phoned again at 9.30 tonight before I came in my normally calm wife , wasn't.
                    Lucky Me , screw them I might have actually phoned them back and I still may in a couple weeks. 18 times. Or maybe my MP at home. 18 times. But then he's likely off in Europe prespending his riduculous taxpayer funded pension.
