Obviously ... Kiwi Frekhaug and I have a love Hate relationship ... and its fast leaning towards the HATE feelings. Remember last time when I needed to get my post? And I needed all sorts of ID? .. then after all the trouble I needed to go through to Actually GET the post including a letter from the bank saying the information was incorrect, including having to return 3 times...?...
Well I needed to go to the Bank. We have already established that my passport is my ONLY recognisable ID in a country where no one really knows me.... So if this were to be lost by me ... it would horrible....
So imagine my mortification .... I can't think of anything more horrible .... when I realised that I had forgotten my passport in the KIWI Frekhaug :( .
Yes .... Multiply MY response by 1000000.... the world has just turned into all those folklore tales with La Diablesse and ting? ... well this is now my horror.
I go back to check to see if I per chance .... of horror... and nightmare on elm street... forgot my passport in this beautiful example of 1st world Service and effeciency
"Ah yes " The SAME girl I dealt with last time tells me.
I had gone there at 8:20 am before my class in the hope that it would be a quick and painless recovery.
What on earth was I thinking....
The girl was still looking for it ... and after her initial reaction of " Oops ... hmm I'm sure I put it here", the horror movie had begun.
After about 5 mins of looking, and asking the ONE other girl there, she comes back and tells me casually, "No, we can't find it" ....
I beg your pardon??? .. you .... can't.... fiiiiind .. it?.... you .... can't FIIIIIIIND .... iiitt??? ..
Calm Jaemie, think of the poppies in the field.
She tells me to come back afterwards, when she would have talked to everyone...
I give her my phone number and ask her to please call me.
In class I'm thinking ... She must be crazy. Didn't I fill out a form with my name and Telephone number on it? Why didn't she call me to tell me I forgot the passport? ... After she left it in the photocopy machine.... ok ok ok . I . ME ... JAEMIE ... didn't remember to TAKE it back... but that's only because I was soooo focused on getting my ONE letter that had a norwegian ID on it back.
I come back after class confident that it must have just been placed in a "safe keeping" and not in the cashier's box at the front.
Its not there..... She still can't find it.
to be continued.....
