Stupid Passport Guy

I realize it has been only a little over three weeks since we submitted the paperwork and it can take up to six weeks (although I've heard from others some horror stories of waiting MONTHS!) but it is not the process I am venting about. It is the individual who is in charge of the whole process.

The man has open office hours from 10:00 AM to 12:00 noon every weekday. One would think he might actually be IN his office at that time. One would be WRONG!

I call and call and the phone rings and rings and rings. No answer. No voice mail. No nothing! GRRRRRRRR!

I don't believe that any office should have only one person manning it, especially something this important. Getting in touch with him initially to start the process was just as difficult and it is very frustrating.

All my belongings are packed and gone, Snuffles has the house all taken care of, and now all I am waiting on is my passport. Just answer the damn phone at least and say, "No, it's not in yet!"

But when the guy can't even answer his phone or have a voice mail or some way to contact him, it makes me very nervous about his capability. I have had a bad feeling about this guy since the first time we met him and in the words of my sweet little friend Brianna, "I not happy with him".

Other than that, nothing new. I just keep pulling up the photos of the house Snuffles found and staring at them.

I have realized that with all the yellow in that house and our blue furniture (sofa, recliner), I have been snookered into living in a Wolverine house!! EEEEEEEEEK!!!! I married him despite his collegiate affiliations but this UM GO BLUE house may be pushing my limits.

GO SPARTANS!!!!!!! GO SPARTANS!!!!!!!!! GO SPARTANS!!!!!!!!!!

Unless Snuffles finds a place today with a better kitchen (bigger, perhaps not so white) and / or use of the roof top, that will be our home. I'll keep you posted!

Use of the roof top sounds odd. Let me clarify that. In Korea, many of the roof tops are flat with a wall around them (about 3 feet high). It's great extra space, perfect for having parties. Many Koreans even sleep on their roofs in the summer when it is so hot inside! It would be nice to have that additional space to utilize but then again, we would go broke because I would want to buy lots of plants for up there and build some kind of shaded seating.
