am I missing something?

warning this is a rant about people i am forced to deal with not anyone I chose to deal with.
This week so far has sucked. I spend all my time trying to get things done only to be yelled at, belittled, accused, and insulted, Then given more work. Monday and today I have spent fixing other peoples mistakes. I am under lots of stress right now opening my business but Monday's problem just put it over the top. It started Friday. IT WAS MADE CLEAR to all people who I was working with that I would not be dealing with anything unless it involved me getting funding. At quarter to four I get an email from my business adviser telling me that my secound year financials is not done and is beyond past due. Having already told her more then once where it was she had the nerve to say it was late. So Monday I went in first thing in the morning had a meeting with her and behold there it was right where I said it was. What do I get after being so rudely treated nothing but an oops. Is it that hard to apologize to me. If this is not bad enough I get told that it is unprofessional to go in and help fix someones mistake as it is acting arrogant like I can do no wrong.
The next thing was my new mail person sent a parcel to the wrong post office. It was 2kms away from me and I had to walk up to get it. Thankfully it was small, but this is not my problem when I got the parcel the person behind the desk told me that this was the wrong post office for my mail and I quote "don't let it happen again" when asking how it could be my fault it was sent to the wrong place I was met with a nasty look. As I left they said to their coworker some people think they are always in the right. Now this is twice in one day both times not my fault. Both times I get the blame.
Then today I got a letter for the tax center saying that they where declining my claim for a tax credit. Well I was on the phone with them asking them about it my IQ was brought up saying that I was two smart for the tax credit (it is for people with disabilities ) they said I was to smart to have any real disability and that my nerve problems where not good enough to count. They told me I could appeal but my time was better spent not trying to take advantage of a government program. This was highly insulting my argument and questions over the terms and definitions they used in the letter to me. Showed off my intelligence and I get told that.
What kinda world do I live in that it is deemed fair that I be penalized for being smart. I go to fix a mistake that was made that involves me not only do I get blamed I get treated like a jerk because people seem to think me dealing with the problem is making me the superior arrogant person causing trouble. I admit I carry a confident and smart personality that is who I am. I can't help being smart I worked hard to be I put in the hours and studied. I don't think that makes me superior I think that makes me driven and determined. Right now I feel so bad about myself I could just cry. Between the blame and the mean treatment it is hard to see what other path I could have taken to deal with this all these things deal directly with me, and have nothing to really do with everyone else I was trying to make sure things worked with as little trouble as possible.
This brings up another point as I am working closer to opening my business I get a lot of praise for what I am doing and a lot of really strong putdowns as well. These people like to put it as giving me advice, but in reality telling me that I am to young and inexperienced, or that my idea is stupid is not advice that is just being mean to me. I don't like having people tell me those things it really hurts when I am trying to do something good. I am just feeling really hurt right now as it seems through action or inaction I am going to get hurt.
