About confuzzled, and us not being there...
12 years ago
General
So... We were going to be arriving at Confuzzled in about 2 hours... We were both REALLY looking forward to Confuzzled. Apparently, we didn't make it there. To everyone we were gonna meet there, we are so sorry we could not make it.
After the total bummer of missing NordicFuzzCon this year due to me getting sick the day before we were going to travel there, Confuzzled would be one of the highlights to make up for it. Short story as to why; Swandog has a residency permit in her passport that needs to be renewed every second year. She has a permanent residency, but the stamp in the passport has to be put in every 2nd year. We have renewed this several times, it involves going to the police station, and getting a new stamp. Well, that is how it was. But not anymore. When we found that Swan's stamp had expired, we went to the police station to get a new one. "Sorry", they said, "we do not put these stamps in passports anymore. You now have to get a residency card. They take a week to make, and you can only start the process on mondays."... So, what generally takes a quick visit to the police station was now replaced by a process that woud have had to be started monday last week, for us to get it in time. I had heard nothing about this change, and we were, of course, too late. Without this card, Swandog can not re-enter Norway.
So well... We are both REALLY down over this right now... Swan will probably be not doing much FA-journal reading etc until this is over, since it is a bit too painful to get reminded of what we missed.

I cant go this year either
I already am so sorry to here this, but the most important thing is to get over things we cannot change and don't let them get you! Forget about it, CC is right across the corner!
Bureaucracy is awful a lot of times. :/
