Versioning

Let me give you a brief introduction into how the management in this BU works....

Well....the maximum duration of my stay on my present visa will expire on 31st. Normally people in my situation who have multiple entry visas run off to Hong Kong for a weekend and return to spend another 60 days in this hell hole. Well i dont...so i told me manager so...

So here is when he comes out and says "But i had planned for you to stay there for a few months more, you should have told me before." Had told him previously. Blasted maroon...wat does he expect me to do....take my visa and stick it down his throat or something? So he asks me to go enquire if it is possible to get the visa renewed here itself....This is version 1....

Next day...me checks with the local people and they tell me that it is not possible to get it done in Taiwan. Manager dejectedly says....fine...goto to India get a Multiple Entry visa.....This is Version 2...

Later in the evening....frantic call from manager..."I checked with people who have just returned from HK...it seems you can get visa there....confim with people presently in HK....if possible you can go to Hong Kong for a weekend and get the visa...."....this is version 3....or should we call it 2.1.2a....

Check next morning...am told that you can get a business visa for Taiwan in HK only if you already have a business visa for HK...return back to manager with this information...he says ok...seems no way abt it...go back...but you have to come back in 1 week.....version 4....or reconciliation to verson 2

Tuesday morning one confirms with manager about travel back to india...he says go ahead...Talk to female at visa dept back in Bangalore....she cribs abt getting multiple entry...tell her me needs it...and that is that...

Tuesday evening...i get a call...pick up....and its the manager....yay....now he tells me that ppl in taiwan are considering whether they need ppl there...you come to HK for now...if taiwan says they dont need then you will spend a few months in Hong Kong....else travel back in mid september to india get visa...run to Taiwan.....too confused to give a version now....

have been booked on flight to HK on 31st...

this is as of today....nay now...discussion b/w resp managers going on today....till then in limbo we remain....woohoo.....
