Grr. Argh.

Because I don't mention this often enough: I really, really hate bureaucracy.

If anyone has been wondering what to get me for Christmas, the answer is food*.



This post has been brought to you by the people who repeatedly tell me there is no need to come into their office until I get a letter, then send me a letter saying I get no more food stamps because I didn't go into their office.**

I wonder what movies the dep't of social services is showing in their lobby this December.



* Decent medical care would also be a lovely gift, but food is much easier to find.***

** And no, based on past experience, this was not unexpected (that's why I'd been calling the office in the first place). Yet this stuff still manages to be simultaneously infuriating and discouraging after all these years.

*** Other good gifts would be electricity and phone service. Yeah. Those are generally good things.****

**** Footnotes are addictive.

So...any suggestions/dislikes?

Only real dislike is black raisins, and I even like those in certain contexts. I'll try to think of good suggestions later on. Probably I should look through the canned & bagged & boxed foods I have around and see what I need most. I know I could use dried fruits & nuts, as well as peanut butter. Canned leafy green vegetables are good too. Canned turkey & chicken would be helpful.
