Work permit...so close!

So, yesterday we received an email to say that Belinda's work permit has finally come through, and we can go to the Rathaus and pick it up. :)

So, this morning we get up at 06:00, have breakfast and stuff, and head to the Rathaus at 07:00. Firstly, we cannot remember which floor the Ausländerbehörde is on, so we search level 2, level 3, and finally remember that it is on level 1. We have only been here what, 3 or 4 times in the last 6 months - surely we should be able to do this with our eyes closed by now!

As I said, we locate the Ausländerbehörde on level 1, and as we are walking down the corridor, somebody says to us (in German, but translated...) "We are closed today, unless you have an appointment". YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME, RIGHT?!?!

I should have known that something would happen...it just wouldn't be a Brush and Bel experience otherwise. Oh well, guess we try again tomorrow...and hopefully the stars will align for us. :)

Tschüß,
'Brush.

Can't be worse than me - who went all the way to the other side of town (a looooong way here) to go to the Vietnamese embassy yesterday morning and get a visa....forgetting my passport! Couldn't believe I was that dumb. Possibly the dumbest thing I have ever done in my life! And especially something you want to do in your last week on a job!

Always remember "When the sun sets over a saucer of milk the cat won't talk to the cookoo clock" - old Hakowee saying that loosely translated means - good things come to good people eventually - hang in you two!
