Do not answer calls from unknown numbers

[bjcheung77]

I just answered a call from an unknown number, and thank goodness I did, because it was the passport scheduling office calling me to schedule at our local post office. There is literally no way to get in touch with them except to call, leave your info for them to call you back, and then wait for a return call! And because the schedule is weeks out, we are cutting it close on being able to get it in time without having to pay a ginormous fee to get them expedited!!

That's good... *Saved by the bell...* in this case, the ring...

Good grief, why you wait so long?! Were the travel plans spur of the moment?

I'm not leaving until around March of next year, but I got my passport taken care of early and have it in hand already. It's a government agency.. if they say it's going to take 4 weeks, I expect that to mean 40. The only thing they are quick about is cashing my quarterly estimated tax payments.
