More paper!





Joan received a registered letter today from immigration about her application for renewal of her residency card. Even though we have given them the rental contract and a new change of address statement from the city, now they want a copy of the landlords title to this flat and a written permission that Joan can live here. I thought a rental contract was just that but evidently they don't think so. I think there are still a lot of rules and regulations left over from the "old day" that haven't been changed yet, 20 years later. Just another example of bureaucracy at work. So now I have to contact the landlord/owner and tell them what we need and it must be filed within 7 days.

Actually saw the sun out today for a while and the temperature rose. No rain!! How nice.

Congratulations to cousin Ben Dittenber on winning the Most Improved Player award in his high school jazz band.

Joan otrzyma艂a list polecony z imigracji dzi艣 o niej wniosek o przed艂u偶enie jej karty pobytu. Mimo 偶e dali艣my im umowy najmu i nowe zmiany o艣wiadczenie adres z miasta, teraz chc膮 kopi臋 w艂a艣cicieli tytu艂 do tego mieszkania i Joan pisemnej zgody, 偶e mo偶na 偶y膰 tutaj. My艣la艂em, 偶e umowa najmu, ale tylko, 偶e widocznie nie s膮dz臋. My艣l臋, 偶e nadal istnieje wiele przepis贸w i regulacji, z lewej strony na "dzie艅 starego", kt贸re nie zosta艂y jeszcze zmienione, 20 lat p贸藕niej. Kolejny przyk艂ad na biurokracj臋 w pracy. Wi臋c teraz mam si臋 skontaktowa膰 z w艂a艣cicielem / w艂a艣ciciela i powiedzie膰 im, czego nam potrzeba i musi by膰 dokonane w terminie 7 dni.

Rzeczywi艣cie zobaczy艂 s艂o艅ce dzisiaj na chwil臋, a temperatura wzros艂a. Bez deszczu! Jak mi艂o
