2 weeks has come and gone since our interview, so I called the Consulate who are apparently still waiting for our medicals.

So I called the doctor’s office in Auckland and was told that the only thing they were waiting on was TJ’s vaccination history. I informed her that we hadn’t been able to provide a full history for any of us, so we’d all had to have the jabs we couldn’t prove we’d had. TJ had MMR, Polio and Dip-Tet injections. She looked it up and sure enough, there they were. So the only thing we’re waiting on is for the doctor to sign off on it, and the doctor’s not in the office today. $1281 and they can’t offer a timely service?

Hopefully we can get it sorted tomorrow, but considering we’re about to start our Easter break, odds are, it’ll be another couple of weeks before we get our passports back.

So, we lost the house. The real estate agent took 2 full days to get our offer in, by which time, it was too late.

Technically we can’t fire her, as she was a stand-in, recommended by the regular agent who was on vacation. Fire the regular agent for a terrible recommendation? Absolutely! I would kiss her ass goodbye in a heartbeat. But I have no say in the matter and J doesn’t agree with my hard line approach (although he’s flicked agents for less in the past). He’s keeping her on and as a result he’s going back out looking at properties tomorrow ... with the stand-in.

Frankly, I’m lost for words.
