    His attitude really got my goat . It took him 5 and 1/2 months to come to their decision as well and that was always me chasing them

    Hasn't the public sector got enough useless form filling to do without wasting more time (paid for by our taxes) on your puerile ego trip?

    Have you not got better things to do with your own time?

    You need to remember that the person who pays this person is you and me (assuming you pay taxes). The administrator is still going to get paid, whatever he is doing with his time. However, you are taking resources away from other vital services, including road maintenance. In effect, your silly vendetta is causing the problem you are complaining about.
    Gone ... or have I?

    I said your vendetta is silly. I don't really do vendettas, life is too short.
