Got quite a promotion at work, I'm now over several clients for the department. Been playing catch up getting everything lined up and organized.

Stressful, but a massive positive move in my career.
Hell yeah, congrats bro!

City of Portland reached out for a job I applied to to say I was placed on the eligible list and should hear about an interview. :fuckyeah: nice to have two irons in the fire now.

We’re trying to do the little one’s passport now so we can make a UK trip this summer, but it’s hard to get appointments right now with people rushing to get them. One of the nearby post offices does walk-in’s on Tuesdays, so I’ll probably take a sick day next Tuesday and we’ll try to do that.

I know my brother and his husband are having to wait to get their passports updated.
They want them ready in case they need to flee.

First round of interview process with the port of Portland scheduled for next Wednesday :fuckyeah: hopefully the city is on a similar timeline so if I get offers from both I can make a decision between them in real time with comparisons of the full compensation.

Once you get a passport, renewing it is pretty easy. It's only ever taken me a few weeks to get my new one in the mail after submitting the simple form. :iono:

Mine is expiring in a few years. My turkish on the other hand its expiring and made an appointment with the embassy. Good thing i live in the nations capital. Although that passport is practically useless unless i maybe wanna go to cuba or venezuela.

My process for Bulgarian passport continues just now after the covid setback and i'll become a EU citizen

My grandmother was bulgarian which is why my dad and i are eligible. Greek sadly no :sad: (maybe i should ask), my grandmother knows greek very well. I haven't even been to Bulgaria since probably before I moved to the US.

Interesting. Is Bulgaria :nice: ? I've never been, but I've been sort of Sofia-curious for a while.
