My Concealed Carry Permit was due to expire on December 2, 2020. I applied for renewal on October 12, 2020. I thought that would be more than enough time to get it renewed by my Expiration Deadline, however, I thought wrong again.
On December 9, 2020 I called the Probate Court to ask the status of my Renewal Request. I got an answer but the circumstances surrounding that answer left me thinking that my Renewal Request had been put into a Bureaucratic Pile of Miscellaneous Stuff and that Pile had then fallen off a Bureaucratic Cliff into a Bureaucratic Black Hole.
I will now lay out the circumstances surrounding that answer which lead me to doubt that I would ever see the day when my Renewed Concealed Carry Permit would find its way into my wallet…
- I gave the details of my request to my Assigned Bureaucrat and got my
Bureaucratic Answer immediately…
>I was not put on hold so that my Bureaucrat could look up my Concealed Carry Permit Application.
>I did not hear clicking of my Bureaucrat’s Computer Keyboard as she looked up my Concealed Carry Permit Application.
>I did not hear my Bureaucrat shout, "Hey, Josephine have you seen Fella’s Concealed Carry Permit Application?"
- None of the above happened but I did hear sounds
coming over my phone…
>I heard the unmistakable sound of a Swizzle Stick stirring a Fruity Caribbean Alcoholic Beverage.
>I also heard the unmistakable sound of that Swizzle Stick bumping up against a Small Cocktail Umbrella inside a Fruity Caribbean Alcoholic Beverage.
>I heard the unmistakable sound of a Government Issued La-Z-Boy Chair being reclined into the Ignore this Minion’s Problem It’s My Afternoon Nap Time Position.
I forgot to tell you what my Bureaucrat’s Bureaucratic Answer was. It was, “Wait a Week”.
************
That’s when I knew I had all the qualifications needed to be an Excellent Bureaucrat…
- I can not bother to look up Concealed Carry Permit Applications.
- I can not bother to click my computer’s keyboard to try and find minions’ Concealed Carry Permit Applications.
- Josephine retired last week.
- I can Swizzle a Fruity Caribbean Alcoholic Beverage with or without an Umbrella in it.
- I am very good at taking naps in a La-Z-Boy.
- I certainly can tell Faceless Minion Callers to Wait a Week!
************
Since this is the Bottom of this Bit of Foolishness I will give you The Bottom Line…
My Concealed Carry Permit Arrived 7 Days After I Was Told To Wait a Week!
I know I can handle the job because being a Bureaucrat Is Easy!
Would I kid u?
