When were you the angriest? - 18 December
I don't feel like I've had very many angry moments this year. But, I've definitely been pretty steamed when I've had to deal with residency issues. At one point, I needed extra passport pages because I had to hurry up and run out of El Salvador to Mexico for a last-minute visa renewal when my lawyer didn't get me my residency documents in time to make the trip to the office ... I called the US Embassy's Passport Emergency number, since I knew it was after normal public attention hours (that means it was after 11:30am), and they told me I needed to come in the following day because they wouldn't see me. I gave the girl an earful (in Spanish, mind you) about this number being an emergency number and that my case was an emergency because I didn't know what would happen if I zipped off to Mexico without the appropriate number of spaces for the 6 stamps I needed ... They did see me, but not until I insisted and the girl spoke to her supervisor, and then told me I'd have to pay $80. Just thinking about that day gives me a headache. Definitely not one of my finer moments.
