It's a government office, they're open from 0900 until 1100, then closed for morning recess. They'll then open from 1130 until 1230, then closed for lunch. They're then open from 1330 until 1530, then closed for afternoon recess. Lastly they're open from 1600 until 1700 before closing for the day.

Last I heard they're all trying to trade their sandwiches with one of the other CFOs because their mommy put Oreos and those neato Kraft Snack Packs in a lunch kits. That explains the extended "closed" period.

1-800-731-4000 extension 9026. I have access to their direct line, but I'll need a bit to get it.

EDIT: (780) 495-7758 ... I believe the name is Yvonne.

I had a problem with my license renewal a few months ago and when I spoke with the nice lady at the AB CFO, she informed me that they were short-staffed, and everything was taking a little longer than normal.

Yep, closed every Wednesday.

But when I got through on Thurs, they were great to deal with and had my ATT emailed to me 2 minutes after getting off the phone.
