The renew my passport I had to have new pix taken, since they ar not allowed to be older than 6 month at the most. I had that already taken care of last Friday after work. I really didn't feel like waiting in line, so I set up an appointment online. The appointment I got was on October 22nd at 2 pm. Not exactly my time of choice, since I does cut into my quite busy work schedule. But one thing I was not going to do is to got back to wort for 1 or 1 1/2 hours. I planned on taken the rest of the afternoon of. And with 49 hour overtime I can easily afford that.
So I left work on time and got to the appointment with the local subdevision of the State Department with about 10 minutes to spare. And having made an appointment and this not being a super busy time for passports I didn't have to wait a minute. I had all the necessary documentation like drivers license, birth certificate and certificate of citzenship with me. I did get asked a couple of simple questions about my time abroad. The just wanted to find out if I am still and Expat or if I have relocated back to Austria. And of course they wanted to confirm if my testimony meets what they have on file. And of course it did. So the only thing left to do was to have my fingerprint taken, since that's required with the new passports and then I paid the 80 bucks in within the next 5 workdays I should have to passort delivered to my place of residency.
The enite appointment took less than 15 minutes. And I went right back home. Dasiy was very surprised to see me that early and I took her right for a long walk. After that I had some late lunch and took a 2-hour nap. Apparently the 4 hour sleep per night for the past couple of weeks do take their toll.
