bonkers cross-talk with Australia

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2003.01.21

The Australian Tax Office sent me a response to my inquiry from early December as to the status of my application to retrieve my Superannuation funds. The response was another copy of the forms! This is particularly amusing because yesterday I was sent a check for the funds. Government efficiency at its best. It really is amazing that we have hospitals and roads.

In our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously one's work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it.
