Today we had to complete most of our admin at the legislature. Geez, this part of life really gets me down!!! To give you an idea. We had to fill in forms by the dozens relating to, bank details, medical aid, pension fund, security cards, gym membership (yes we have a gym!) and cell phone contracts. You can only imagine!
But that's not all. I finally got a bank stamp to confirm my account number and found out from MTN what the procedure is to "port" my number (See legislature is not big on choice for members). Now I have to sort out the whole cancellation of one medical aid getting onto another (more expensive) medical aid (which is subsidised - kind of).
Admin, Admin, Admin!! This is not my strong point!!!
We also received a briefing on the structure of the legislature and met some of the main role players. They also gave us lots if information on rules, etc. that we have to learn as well as nice bags and diaries (highlight of the day!).
So today was boring from the outside looking in, but believe me it was hectic for a guy who thought he was on his medical aid and cell phone network for life (and wanted it so!!). Tomorrow we have our mock sitting!
