Tax Bureaucrats

I just had a nice, helpful, civil conversation with a lady at the state tax bureau about some money they think I owe them that I don't. Everything was simple and easy enough to deal with and she was helpful and courteous. It's amazing how when you treat them civilly, people generally do their jobs competently.

Indeed. And such an amazing coincidence that if you go in with a bad attitude and a temper, things don't magically work themselves out.

Funny, that.
