How knowing Plumbing eased the tiring wait at the Tax Office
When I was called to the Riverside Tax Office by the Deputy Tax Officer, little was I aware that I would be ending up as a phantom. But this recognition was not to rest on my head unless and until I underwent some deal of discomfort. I someway used to think getting work done by state and local officers was just about a case of “Much Ado about Nothing!” I never really thought getting a small task done over there could stretch over many painful hours. When I received a call from the local Tax Office of Riverside requesting me to come and collect my Tax refund cheque, barely did I know that it would be cumbersome to get it collected even though they themselves had asked me to stop by and pick it up. For my readers, I am recreating the scene here – On arriving at their office on Monday morning, I get to view there is a huge line of people, all waiting to get their cheque in their hand!! Who doesn’t love money visiting them? Anyway, amazingly, the line was dropping a good length out of the office building into the side lawn. I knew I had a lengthy wait in before me. Subsequent to a grueling two and a half hours, my turn did at last come, only to understand that I would have to wait for a little more time as the bathroom tap of the office washroom had become slack and declined to prevent the water flow. So the floor was getting damp with water. Wow!! I just stood speculating what Riverside Plumbing had against me to have deferred my cheque!!! I started praying that God sends a few Riverside Plumbers to get this sorted immediately. All of a sudden, it hit me! I can try dismantling the tap washer and oil it to make it stiff again. Consequently, I volunteered to have a go at it. I had the problem solved, in 5 minutes! I was so proud of myself. All tax officials thanked me profusely. They felt that I was a very skillful Riverside Plumber who came as their rescuer! Imagine!! Instantly, the cheque was given to me, and I was also treated with full royalty and coddling.
