yes, I have, and if I see Chuck Norris I will throw a raw egg at him

good grief; like I need one more thing to make me tired and stressed... 'between 8am and 6pm', so here I was bright and early at 8am at work, and now it's almost five and still nothing... I'd hoped it would come during the day and then I could have left at four; guess not

the embassy in frankfurt had troubles with the printer for the visa-stickers the week i had my interview. awesome timing. i had to go back to the embassy 3 days before i left for the US because it wouldn't have arrived on time via snail mail.

did you already book your flight?

congratulations to the drivers test! :)

Thank you

little steps, but they make you feel so much more like a "normal" person again, don't they?

anthing that brings normality and stability is such a relief!

like getting a bike i HATE driving here.

or like getting a drivers license. or the really simple things like buying a muffing baking form.

At the Embassy in Prague, when you get the tourist visa, they send it to you via courrier and you get it in a day or two or so. Though when you get the K1 visa, they make you go to Prague again and pick it up yourself the day after the interview

yeah makes you feel like you actually live here now although you never did before and so you don´t feel like a visitor or something

we got our bikes too not that I hate driving, cuz I kind of like it, but I love bike and sports in general

Aww - you both sound so much healthier than me... man I feel like a bum

Damn - I think I am going to have to go to bed soon - I feel shabby again - forcing myself into work is all very well for the money but I feel worse again now Need to rest up before work again tomorrow... man this sucks... guess this is what it will be like with my one week's paid leave a year

Me too!! What sort of jobs?

administrative assistants, administrative associates and office specialists.

not too challenging, nothing you need a degree for, but - a job with good benefits.

no passport for me

I finally broke, and rang the courier company at 5.30pm - they put me on hold for a while, and then came back and said they'd call me back, and then after a while did so, and said that the driver was ill today so didn't go out

ok, fine, everyone gets ill, but they didn't know this before?! why was I still sitting at work after 6pm, after arriving before 8am, if there was no hope of my passport being delivered? they didn't have an answer to this, but said that the earliest available time was next Monday... I said I didn't think that was reasonable, since this was THEIR error, so after a lot of palaver, and more calls, and a manager calling me back, and me politely but firmly sticking to my guns, they SAY it will be delivered tomorrow... I guess we'll see

I'm not at all superstitious, but I just don't want to move on with plans until I have that damn visa in my HAND; I wouldn't have minded waiting til next week if that was just how long it was going to take, but if they text me - twice - to tell me to be available for an entire day, and then don't do me the courtesy of telling me that that plan has changed, then they can bloody well make it up to me another way

*sigh*

it would be nice to see some professionalism left in this world, but it seems to be a dying art

Double-you tee eff?!?!?! Ummmm...the driver is sick so they don't deliver that day??? What is this, 1974?

I share your misery to a small extent. My petition was delivered to Moscow yesterday (2 days ago really, since it's Moscow time), but has not been "received" by Moscow. And since Chuck Norris appears to be sick, I can't even send him over to kick some butts. Great. Just great.
