After the long story with visa and permissions Fernanda would start working and Matheus would start in the Tagesmutter (day care) so that I would start having time to work. Even though there were still some small issues to be taken care.

The day care requires some adaptation period, that in this case means staying there the whole time ... not exactly a good thing for someone that can't stay sit too long because of the lumbar distention, also can't stay laying there ... well it would have to do.

Fernanda went to the institute and from there to the personnel department of the hospital to finally sign the contract ... turns out that the INCOMPETENT employ said she still needs to bring the "work permit" to sign the contract.

Just remembering previous posts (not gonna link them) Fernanda doesn't need it because researchers don't and also spouse of a citizen of an "old-EU-member-country", as its citizens, don't need this permit to work. The restriction on the visa is hashed and that excludes the need for it. But the wh*r* still wants it or a letter from a competent authority saying otherwise. She has a copy of the f*ck*ng law that says it but "she knows the law" ... f*ck!

So, after 2.5 hours of adaptation I had to get Matheus and leave to go to the foreigns department and work department to try to solve. The first ones closes too soon, and the work department said that this permit not necessary, that a personnel department of one of the largest universities in Germany SHOULD know that and that he doesn't have the authority to state that, the foreigns department is the proper place. So tomorrow we'll have to go there and see what we can get. In case we can't solve, then I'll need a lawyer to tell the TUM about laws ...

Upset? NOOOOOOOO!!!! Luckily I'm not the one that goes to the TUM, luckily for them ...
