And Still I Rise

Today,I get my passport i.e if there are no more hitches.Who knows that to take out a simple thing like a passport would be so stressful.According to the rules it takes three weeks to get one processed but Friday when I went to check on it I was told it was not ready.Okay,so naturally I wanted to know when I would get it as am due to travel on Friday this week.The reply, in a very rude manner was that they don't know and if I needed to travel I should take an emergency document.Did I ever tell you customer service stinks in this island? Of course that was out the question because I had already met the three weeks regulation.

To add insult to injury my application could not be found.So I ended up spending close to an hour trying to convince the Immigration officers that I did indeed bring in the form.Eventually,they found the proof that I had submitted it and told me to come back on Tuesday.

Am not sure if there are worst things than dealing with Government offices.It takes forever to get something done and most of the times you are treated as if you are an unwelcomed visitor.You better be prepared to dedicate a substantial portion of your time if you want to get something done.Thank God I won't have to deal with Immigration Dept for another 10 years.
