bureaucracy

I don't understand why the Sierra Leone embassy requires a letter of introduction for my visa when they know perfectly well it's impossible to get in touch with people in their country. Please write back to me, archive man. Maybe it's an elaborate conspiracy to get me down to the wire and force me to pay the additional charge for a same-day visa instead of the normal 7 working days. hmmm. clever.

In other news, I could be getting my visa for Liberia, which doesn't require a letter from someone in the country. But I keep putting it off. Because I'm writing my upgrade (so I tell myself). Tuesday. I will do it Tuesday. In between some last minute trips to the archives. And before my upgrade deadline of Thursday night.

I promise this blog will be more interesting at the end of the month. For now, it's an awesome tool for procrastination.
