It is pretty bullshit that you are being forced to jump through all these hoops just for trying to do the right thing. Have you considered talking to your Supervisor and seeing if they can help you on on this at all?

Anyway, I look forward to hearing about how it goes in court… wouldn’t it be really Kafka-esque if you end up in jail for possession of stolen property or something?

I am currently on hold with the IRS so I was thinking about similar things already, and now I read this and it drives it home. I honestly don’t know how most people get by in this world of sysstemmms. I am educated, smart, and speak english, and I can barely manage it.

Keep your eye out for Joseph K. on your next trip to The Castle, aka 850 Bryant.

We should take note of that. and WTF anyway with that fucked up bureaucracy? what the fucking fuck? That’s not acceptable!

And, as to the second point, I’m not bitching- I’m trying to point out (and hopefully correct) the stumbling blocks for me, a well-educated english-speaking white male, so those who have to deal with this bullshit process later can hopefully have an easier time.

Do note the photocopied crease and typewriter font; which is so old that Room 300 (Step 5) doesn’t even exist anymore.

It works. Well, at least, it did BEFORE I gave it to the SFPD.
