No passport, no visa, no sun, no owner for Filibuster Firework...
My life is in a shambles.
Join me on my phone conversations over the past few days:
Me: Hi, is my visa ready?
The Man: You're missing x and y and your office is lazy and they should know better.
Me: So that's a no, then.
-next day-
Office: Okay, just pull your passport back from them.
M: Hi, can I have my passport back?
TM: The man dropped it off, but it's in the mail and the Purlator and the truck and we dropped it off and the drop it off truck just now.
M: So...
TM: It will be sent tonight and you will receive it tomorrow.
M: Splendid.
-next day-
M: You know, my passport is not in the mail.
TM: But the Purolator and the package number was not the same, we needed another number, and I gave it to you, don't you remember?
M: Nooooo...
TM: I talked to you and you faxed the waybill, don't you remember?
M: Partially yes, but mostly nooooo...
TM: What is your name?
M: This is a good start.
TM: I'll call you back.
M: Hello?
TM: I can't find it. It was already sent back to you!
M: Nooooo...
TM: Then something was missing.
M: Yesssss...
TM: I'll call you back.
M: Hello?
TM: Yes, x and y were missing - I remember your case now!
M: Oh good.
TM: This church always sends correct letters but this one is wrong. So I'll just go downstairs and talk to the office.
M: I just need my passport back. Please. For the love of all that is holy.
TM: They need to do their job! I'll go downstairs and tell them.
M: Okay.
TM: I'll call you back.
M: Hello?
TM: Okay, x and y are missing.
M: I'm with you so far.
TM: And we'll retain some of the fee, so I'll just talk to them and they'll send it-- [French's into the distance before hanging up]
M: Hello? Please don't do this to me.
M: Hi, I think our line was cut--
TM: No. I told you that they will retain some of the fee and they will send it.
M:[simmers in awkwardness] Okay. But it's an emergency and I need it as soon as--
TM: They will do it and send it today or tomorrow.
M:[awkwards even harder]
Office: Just kidding! Don't pull your passport. Keep going with the visa process - we'll send x and y along in short order.
M: Swing low, sweet chariot.
M: Hello, I--
TM: Excuse me, don't you think this is bothering?? Why do you keep calling me?! I told you we'll do it and send it today or tomorrow!
M: [bursts into flames of awkwardness, setting off the fire alarm in a minor circle of hell] I am so very many levels of sorry. I need you to keep going with the visa process. Please don't send my passport back.
TM: Fine.
M: Are you sure you don't need to give instructions to anyone? Because last time you were talking to someone who... Hello? Hello from the outside / At least I can say that I've tried...
