Today is a lazy day (yesterday at Mums & Dads for dinner, Max ate a whole Chicken Brest then went to sleep on Mums lap for hours so Me and Dad had to clear up and wash up ) so today I'm doing nothing but chilling with Max, nice food and a drink ... or two
(RE: Today [14.2¾])
This morning I was again in a hearing, luckily the last one: I got the permission I have so keenly waited! Now just to wait the formal paperworks to go through and notarized but waiting now is already much easier when I know it's just formalities.
I'd never thought that when I'm asked to pay a fee I would feel joy but today when the chairman said "Permission granted, pay the clerk" I was not only happy but almost euphoric :).
Great news, Kari! Congratulations on outlasting the system.
Thanks geeks!
What have I learned from this episode of my life? A new language called Bureaucratish. Below some examples how time needed for something is told in this language:
- English: A moment - Bureaucratish: Maybe next week
- English: An hour - Bureaucratish: Day after tomorrow
- English: A few days - Bureaucratish: Before next summer
- English: A week or two - Bureaucratish: By the end of the year (if said before March 31st) or Next spring (if said between 1st of April and 31st of August) or Next summer (if said between 1st of September and 31st of December)
- English: It might take a while - Bureaucratish: Forget it!
