Catching the flu in Rome



Or at least on the airplane coming home. Its been a rough few days but I think the worst is behind me. I had the dreaded visit to the Munich Work Permit/Residence Permit/Every other Permit office today otherwise know as the KVR Kreisfervaltungsreferat. This place is like a fun-house. Long white corridors, lots of closed doors, many foreigners with dictionaries in their hands trying to figure out what floor they need to be on. Its like alice in wonderland meets Clock Work Orange. Nothing goes correctly in this place. Imagine the American DMV only its in a foreign language. Thats right...the DMV where everyone hates their life. I fully intended to go this morning and after waiting 2 hours be told that what I needed would be impossible. Torture+Confusion+Dissapointment=KVR

I was wonderfully surprised today. I needed a small amendment to my work permit and this was done instantly. Unbelievable. This is probably my 6th visit to the KVR since living in Munich and it has NEVER gone this well. Even with the flu I danced out of that place! I am now cleared for Stuttgart and ready for some Aida!
