When Judy came home last night, she mentioned the BISS HR dept. needed a correction on the paperwork she turned in on Monday to renew her visa for working in China.\u00a0 Our temporary residence permit (updated when we returned from Phuket) had a wrong date.\u00a0 One of the blanks is titled \u201cLeaving\u201d, and is meant to show when we\u2019re departing China.\u00a0 The clerk at the police station used the date on our apartment fapiao (tax form, proving the landlord was paying tax on the property).\u00a0 Since the tax is paid monthly, the ending date on the fapiao was March 27, and that\u2019s what\u2019s now on our residence permit.\u00a0 It should be July 27th<\/sup>.\u00a0 My job today is to get this corrected and get the residence permit and Judy\u2019s passport back to BISS, so they can get the work done on her visa (which takes a month).<\/p>\n

Before anything can happen, BISS has to give Judy the fapiao for this month.\u00a0 She texts me she has it, so I grab my passport, residence permit (mine is also incorrect), and our apartment lease.\u00a0 I take the train to BISS, walk from the station to the school, get the paperwork, walk back to the station, and take the train to a station near the police office.\u00a0 At the police station, I attempt to show the clerk the problem, shoving our passport\/visa and lease in front of them pointing to the date, and then showing them the mistake on the residence permit.\u00a0 They try to ask me a few questions, which I, of course, can\u2019t understand.\u00a0 Eventually I get the corrected paperwork, and head back to the train and BISS.\u00a0 When I finally get everything back to Judy, I\u2019m feeling like I deserve a special lunch to celebrate.\u00a0 Judy can\u2019t get loose, so I treat myself to a really tasty lunch of stir-fried green beans and gungbao (not sure about that spelling) chicken at the small chinese restaurant near BISS. \u00a0Yum!<\/span><\/p>\n

Since I\u2019m still near BISS, I stop in at Gome, looking for a small desk fan for Judy\u2019s upstairs classroom.\u00a0 They have one that is perfect.\u00a0 I make the purchase (not as easy as it should have been, no one seemed too eager to sell anything).\u00a0 I take it back to Judy\u2019s classroom and put it together, just in time to make sure it\u2019s going to fit the situation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back home, Lilly is finishing cleaning, so I head over for my afternoon swim session.\u00a0 This has been a productive day, although most of the work was created by a mistake on a form that shouldn\u2019t have occurred.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
