Sorry, title too obscure?
Today I went to change my student visa (which expires in 3 days time) into a tourist’s and was anticipating spending the day with lazy, bitter and incompetent bureaucrats. Fortunately, by the end of the day, the lazy, bitter, incompetent bureaucrat tally was only 1 out of 5.
After a needless half hour wait (courtesy of a certain Mr L. B. C. Bureaucrat), my number came up and I went to meet a friendly woman who, in a span of 5 minutes, looked everything over and processed my application.
When she was done, I expected her to tell me to come back in a few days to collect my new visa. So, when she printed and stuck my new visa label onto my passport right then and there, I wanted to ask her how she felt about polygamy – you see, I’d already given my heart an hour earlier to the proficient bank teller who floored me with his expert processing of my application for a duplicate bank statement.
Bureaucratic competence is sexy.
