Well, I felt like beating the living crap out of a file-cabinet or something this morning. As it turns out, my boss has been sitting on an email for a couple weeks about a work permit that I need to work in the UK. It was a simple form to fill out, it just needed to be emailed back to the UK. After that it takes about 3 weeks to get me the work permit.
As you might note, my plane leaves in just over two weeks. That would mean that my work permit would arrive a week after I leave. Oh, and did I mention that I can't get through immigration without a work permit? That's right, I can't even go to the UK until I get this permit. A bit of a problem since I have already bought plane tickets, booked a hotel & rental car, & set up a time to view my apartment possibilities.
I don't know at this point what will happen. I imagine that I'll have to delay my trip by a couple weeks. Of course, 2 weeks out of 12 is a pretty significant thing. My first instinct would be to delay my secondment to January, but that's not much of an option because Jen was planning on coming over for two weeks in November. She won't get to do that next year. She specifically planned on coming in the fall since that's when I would be there.
