Another surprising day. I wanted to get some cash from the ATM machine but it kept denying the withdrawal. I tried several times.
So, I went to keep our appointment at the consulate at 10:30. I pulled into the entrance, and asked the security guard to permit me into the underground parking to use the elevator with Joan. He told me there was another entrance to the parking around the corner. For 15 years I have been going to that Consulate but never knew about the underground parking.
Talking with the consul, Mrs. Dzuba, she told us she handed in her resignation this past February and was still waiting for them to find a replacement. She has worked 47 years for the U.S. Government. We are sad to see her leave as we had a very good relationship with her. Strangely, we used our same credit card to pay and it worked.
At home, I tried to buy our plane tickets to Spain but again the card was rejected. We will have to go to Citihandlowy tomorrow to see what is wrong with the card.
Kolejny zaskakuj膮cy dzie艅. Chcia艂em pobra膰 troch臋 got贸wki z bankomatu, ale ci膮gle odmawia艂 wyp艂aty. Pr贸bowa艂em kilka razy.
Pojecha艂em wi臋c na um贸wione spotkanie w konsulacie o 10:30. Wjecha艂em do 艣rodka i poprosi艂em ochroniarza o pozwolenie na wjazd do podziemnego parkingu, aby m贸c skorzysta膰 z windy z Joan. Powiedzia艂 mi, 偶e za rogiem jest inne wej艣cie na parking. Od 15 lat chodz臋 do tego Konsulatu, ale nigdy nie wiedzia艂em o podziemnym parkingu.
Rozmawiaj膮c z konsulem, pani膮 Dzub膮, powiedzia艂a nam, 偶e z艂o偶y艂a rezygnacj臋 w lutym tego roku i wci膮偶 czeka艂a, a偶 znajd膮 zast臋pstwo. Pracowa艂a 47 lat dla rz膮du USA. Jeste艣my smutni widz膮c jej odej艣cie, poniewa偶 mieli艣my z ni膮 bardzo dobre relacje. Dziwnie, u偶yli艣my naszej tej samej karty kredytowej by zap艂aci膰 i to pracowa艂o.
W domu pr贸bowa艂em kupi膰 nasze bilety lotnicze do Hiszpanii, ale znowu karta zosta艂a odrzucona. Jutro b臋dziemy musieli p贸j艣膰 do Citihandlowego, 偶eby sprawdzi膰, co jest nie tak z kart膮.
