Paper Wars

I'm still fighting them.  I'm still losing them.  I'm realizing I'll never win.  Sure, I can file a lot of paper in a morning but then another urgent form appears out of the blue and I have to spend 3 hours trying to figure out what it means, what I have to fill in and what I can leave out, and who to call to find answers or get clarification.  Then, when I finally complete it and go to send off the form, I find out it'll take the provincial bureaucrats 6-8 weeks to confirm I did it right.  What's wrong with this picture?
