It's official: I am going insane. I was just informed yesterday that I am now set to depart in mid to late January, instead of February. I love that I get to go sooner, but the mad dash to get everything done is enough to give me colitis!
On my lunch break yesterday, I went to a notary and had my diplomas and background checks notarized. The lady was really nice and only charged me five dollars, which was WAY less than I expected to pay for having six things notarized. Since I still had time left, I went over to the Secretary of State's office in Allegan, hoping to get my apostilles (when I called the Secretary of State's Lansing office, they told me I should go to a local branch office for an apostille).
That was a wasted trip. I took a number, #70, noticed that they were currently "assisting" #44, so I decided not to wait. After work, I went to the S of S office in Kalamazoo. After patiently explaining what an apostille is to not one, but three employees, they finally informed me that apostilling is not done at the local branch offices (wow, once again I hear two different things from two different people). They told me to go to Grand Rapids. Luckily, I have decided to stop being so trusting, so I did some checking on my own and learned that the only place I can go is Lansing. So, tomorrow I have to leave work early and take a little trip to Michigan's capitol. What fun.
The moral of this story: No one has a clue what they're doing.
