more impatience and waiting

So.... after expecting to be flying out on Friday and waiting for the Korean Consulate in Houston to make up their mind and give me a call back to schedule my exit interview (which is technically a formality) they called me back today... They set up my interview for next Tuesday at 2pm. Fine, so I go and get it knocked out and fly out that night. Not so much. After talking to Darren, my ERG contact setting up this whole thing, I called the consulate back to make sure that I would get my passport back after the interview so I could fly out that evening. I called them back and they said they couldn't give it back to me that quickly, there was no way of assuring that I would be get my visa approved (which I understand has already happened) and get my passport ready. So Wednesday would be the "soonest" they could get it back. Called Darren back and said I could stay in Houston so I could get my passport and fly out that Wednesday night. He then informed me that the Korean Consulate of Houston was the absolute worst embassy to deal with in the U.S., what a comfort... So here I am with time on my hands and waiting for Tuesday to arrive. I want to get over there now please ok thanks. Until I have anything new to report... I'll talk to you later.
