Totally off topic, but need to vent about the IRS

I know, everyone is having this problem, but I just need to vent for a minute to make myself feel better.
Our Federal return was filed Mid April.
We mailed in a paper return instead of E-Filing this year, due in part to the "issues" the IRS was having in Feb, and partly due to trying to save a little money.

At first, the "Where's my refund" status was showing up as your return has been received and is being processed.
Then, as expected, changed to You should have your refund by June 5.
Well, June 5 has come and gone, no refund, and now the status has changed back to has been received and is being processed.

As I said, I know A LOT of people are having this problem, and it's not like I think I should be immune to the issues everyone else is dealing with.

My points are:
We aren't getting a big refund. The refund basically covers what we had to pay out to Illinois (Much more than usual thanks to the almost doubling of individual taxes from last year to this year) and more importantly, if we owed them, and told them we mailed them a check, which they didn't get for months after we said we mailed it, do you think we wouldn't be in jail or at the very least court?

I know there is nothing I can do, and no real reason to yell to the heavens, but as I said, I feel a little better now after venting.

Wish I could have found one that said I want you to forget that we can't do our jobs.
