Brownian motion?

Well, that's what today felt like.

07:30 start to get to the municipal office to get the car registered. Told I need to to get roadworthy certificate and police clearance (in no specific order).

Go to police: No one there to help.

Go to traffic: car passes roadworthy, but can't finalise certificate without police clearance.

Go to police: "Where's your RPI?" At municipality.

Go to municipality: Told that police don't need RPI as car is "on the system now" but let me take form anyway.

Go to police: Give RPI, and message, police phone municipality and screams something along the lines of "If I Ask For Something You Give It To Me, And Don't Argue". In Caps. Police pass clearance.

Go to traffic: Roadworthy certified (Where did this car come from again?).

Go to municipality: OK, seems fine. Here's a 3-day temporary permit, but might take longer to register car. Doh! Two of those three days are on a weekend!!!

12:30: Go to coffee shop and down more caffeine than is good for me :(

All in all, I travelled 15km's between three offices about 1km apart (I might have missed a few in my list - I'm tired!)

Back there tomorrow, to hopefully get it finished. 60km round trip.

And I have to do this again for the bike, then the boat trailer.

Grrrr.

:(
