Last week I received a letter from HRDC collections. To make an
excruciatingly frustrating story less rant-worthy, I'll just say HRDC
was being unresponsive. They still are, but I hope to change that.
But last week, rage built up and I spewed a few rants in here
(under the "Urgent Help Needed" board). I noticed the rage boiled
up just when I felt I lost control. Now I know how a collection
agent feels.
After blowing my top and writing about it here, I hopped on my bike and
pedalled the rage away. 20 km later, I was ready to approach the
problem rationally.
I noticed the first thing that goes when I become irrational is the
warning system in your head that tells me I'm being irrational.
So, when I feel ready to sail over the edge, I know to burn that off
that energy with some kind of physical activity. Starve the
furious process before it takes hold.
HRDC is a frustrating beast.
So, sorry about the rants. I'll try to keep my head in the future.
