Call for work

I have to wonder sometimes about the records the bureaucrats have.

Agentur für Arbeit (employment agency) from Hagen called me the other day, out of the blue. They wanted to make sure I was available for the meeting taking place on Thursday for which they had sent an invitation on Monday, which I hadn't received as I was travelling in Finland already.
I got to explain to them that I had become self-employed almost a year ago and moved to a different city out of the jurisdiction (which they knew) and didn't need a job right now. They were happy to cancel the meeting.

I've always said that bureaucracy might be slow but it is sure.
