It shouldn’t be this complicated 

Posted on February 11, 2019 By admin

I went to get letter notarized today. Took 10 minutes, great! Get home, realize that they put my name as Richard Gaston and not Richard Gaston Cote (Gaston is my middle name). So go back to the cabinet. They reprint a sheet, have it signed by big boss. Except that now, the date is wrong. They reprint it again, get it signed by big boss again. Name OK, date OK. 

Every time they do this they unstaple and restaple the letter. The front page now looks like Swiss cheese with the number of holes in it. 

And I’ll have to go back again tomorrow, because I am a Ms Richard Gaston Cote, and they verified her identity against official documents.

Quote of the day

- "My granny says that dying is like going to sleep," Mort added, a shade hopefully.
- I WOULDN'T KNOW. I HAVE DONE NEITHER.
