fun thursday--sooo not

See what happens when you tell me to post the bad and the ugly in addition to the good? You get it.

Today? Well, I had snarky comments from the facilitators (I need a nickname for them ala Ann Marie to distinguish them from my actual agency) when I e-mailed to verify the forms I needed to notarize here, instructions from the notary (passed on to the un-nicknamed facilitators) that I bring my forms in English and Russian, and a landlord who won't give me permission to include my lease in the dossier. Fun.

Edited to add: Fed Ex still hasn't delivered my "overnighted" documents to my sw.

Edited again to add: I've just been informed that the US office doesn't have the forms in Russian and I will have to get them from the Russian office. I say, "Huzzah!" I've not been allowed to speak to them until now.

Oh Kate, I'm sorry. You need some good names which will help you vent!!!

It must be so frustrating working with those facilitators! I hope you find a good nickname for them soon.

what does "huzzah" mean?

We gotta work on a nickname...it's empowering! Sorry you have to run all over the place for your forms. It may turn out to be a blessing in the end. You may end up having more control on the Russian end...just keep looking for hangouts in St. Petes!

Ug. Sorry you are being given the runaround. I hope this gets sorted out soon!

Hopefully things get worked out soon.

As far as Fed-Ex, I have no love lost on them. We overnighted our last court documents to Russia on June 13. They arrived August 8. Our court date was July 3 and 4. We had to totally redo the entire packet, notarize, apostille, and hand carry with us 2 days before we left for our court trip. Hopefully, you have better luck. Ours was hopefully just a fluke.
