This is a pitting against my self damaging mind set…
Background, a visa application returned on Saturday requesting more info. This should have not been necessary as I had checked all the data I sent carefully before hand, but the return slip seemed to be saying that I had forgotten 2 important documents and that one letter from my employer wasn’t detailed enough.
( Imagine Gollum talkin to himself, if you like )
<Bippy mind> Why did you fuck up, you obviously weren’t careful enough.
<Bippy> But I put those documents in, I’m sure, I remember getting the photoseees at WalGreenzes.
<Bippy mind> You gots the photoseees but you didn’t post them with the other documents, did you…
<Bippy> I dids too, I’m sure of it, why do you allways pick on me, I hates you, I do.
So I am left through the weekend feeling like a dumb fuck for not including two documents that will mean several more months of inconvinience.
Monday morning, I get into work, and check the photocopy of the entire set of documents I sent for the visa extension application.
<Bippy> I did send the documents, I did, I did <does a silly dance, in my office>
<Bippy mind> It must be the Visa Office, the hates us, nasty governmentzies hates everybody they doos.
Crawling over to the computer government web site, searching for my lost precious “221(g)” link, I find that the nasty government throws away the documents that seemed to be missing if there is any other problem with the application (like the employee letter not being detailed enough).
<Bippy> They just wants me to send a new pair of documentzeees, that’s all. It was just the letter prepared by Human resources thats was wrong.
Despite being evilly pissed off at myself for the perceived error, I’m only slightly annoyed with Human resources. Where is the justice in that?
<Bippy mind> Bippy we hates you for getting all worked up about things, we hates you, we hates you …
