Peice of Dutch Cake.

After approximately:
• five weeks
• six appointments
• €50 in phone calls
• two hours on hold
• two hours of speaking with an operator
• €15 in tram tickets
• three letters
• three hours in waiting rooms
• two visits to the Aliens Police
• one visit to the Canadian Embassy
• four visits to the Belastingdienst (tax office)
• one visit to the Immigration office
and,
• being told "That's not possible." innumerable times,
I have a SOFI number. This means I am permitted to work, and get paid, in The Netherlands.

I think I should frame it.
