I wonder just how much background checking cost is part of this expense...uh, probably NONE!
We got that really important mail today alerting us that we will be getting that really important census form soon. Idiots!
Supposedly the forms would be mailed in March so why did I have someone calling me wanting to ask me questions in early February.
She said we hadn’t returned the census form. I said I didn’t get one so she wanted me to go ahead and answer some questions. I told her I would wait on the mail, since the form was supposedly mailed.
I called the bureau and told them about it. Then later another woman called and said they had mailed it to the wrong address. Yeah, right. Liars! We’ve lived at this address for 37 yrs. and they can’t find us? Idiots!
“I wonder just how much background checking cost is part of this expense...uh, probably NONE!”
