[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 273532, member: 1169"] I found that it is best when dealing with the government to act slightly slow and roll right past them. When I had to get the paperwork pulled together for Kanga's grant application, I met with the govt worker assigned to "assist" in completing our application. When I realized that it was going to take her a month to do something I could do in two days, I just took care of it myself and submitted it to the appropriate people. I always try to get ahold of the forms ahead of time and have them completed. I just act so sorry that I didn't understand that they were suppose to do the forms and I ask them to look at them with me to make sure they don't need any more information. I thank them profusely for their help. They are usually so overworked that they then just sign the paper to get it off their desk. The best was a women in our post-adoption unit who kept telling me she'd have it done in two days and two weeks later she hadn't even started. So I went around her with my "clueless mom who doesn't understand chain of command" act and got the post-adoption clinical services in place. She called me the day after I had gotten our clinical review scheduled (the last step in getting services). She was so ticked - "I told you I was getting to it." I explained that while she was "getting to it" I was trying to save my children's lives. Highlight, she called last week (14 months later) because she had finally gotten to it :rolleye: Glad the Cutty's seemed to help. [/QUOTE]
