I can't believe I'm actually excited that it's Friday. Normally I'd be more excited about Saturday, the day I can actually watch Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis and now Battlestar Galactica but for some reason I'm glad it's the end of the week. I'm not going to dwell on that much.

Yesterday, Tom and I got a letter from INS and they denied Tom his petition for permantant residence so now I have to call the fuckers and find out where they fucked up. Because we did everything on our end. It's not like Tom is a uneducated farm worker. He's an engineer. I think people with education should get front line service personally...but I'm not the one in charge. Anyway I'm not happy about this because we've been waiting for six months and it's annoying as hell, and I know calling them is going to be a bitch. Tom already told me about the 40 minute wait (obviously this department needs to hire more people).

Other bad news for the week. I didn't get the job I interviewed for and I'm starting to worry a lot more about this finding a job business, especially since it seems like they want to revoke Tom's work permit too??? Okay the INS thing seriously sucks on many many levels.

Well I need to eat some lunch and start dialing. I think I might watch another episode of firefly while I'm on hold.

P.S. And then to top off this week, except for EKR who helped me revise my music video I have gotten ZERO feedback. :( Normally Kawoosh forums is much better at the feedback so I'm not sure if I didn't get any feedback because the video sucks or I posted the new vid during the weekday and people don't have time to download and watch music videos except on the weekend, or maybe it's because I made an Atlantis vid?

I'm at the point where I feel like giving up on ever expecting feedback for anything. I know readers/and watchers of vids aren't obligated to send feedback but it just sucks when I see other people get feedback and I don't. (petty I know)

To be fair, there's a good chance my vids aren't nearly as good as the ones that do get feedback but it's really hard to figure out what I'm doing wrong without any feedback at all. Which makes me treasure ERK's feedback a lot more.

WTF

Okay Just got off the phone with INS, the fucking bastards want us to pay another 110 dollars to re-open the case which should not have been closed in the first place because we showed up to our appointment!!!!! I don't even want to think about this now I'm so pissed off. I swear I think INS does this on purpose to make more money. Why the hell does anyone want to immigrate to america??? If I had known it would be this much trouble I would have told Tom I'm coming to Europe instead. We've already wasted over 1000 dollars on fees with the INS. I hate that we did everything we were supposed to do and still get screwed. What the hell do they think we are made out of MONEY???? Why does it cost 110 dollars to re-open the case???? These guys are fucking screw ups they don't deserve to get paid. I hate this country.
