Frustration running high...

alexpgpThe post office finally sent back our letter of credit, which in effect bonded our accountability under the postal contract, but now there seems to be some kind of problem returning it to the bank and releasing their hold on a certificate of deposit that, in effect, was collateral for the letter.
That's frustrating by itself, and all the more so when the phone lines out of here are, as usual, jammed. What makes it even more frustrating is that whereas before, any failed attempt to phone out would be signaled as such after 10 seconds or so, now the system simply sits quietly until you hang up. (Then again, maybe the call enters a queue, but if that's the case, nobody's make that fact apparent.)
The exercise program continues, with about 6 km walked today: one loop while doing laundry, and two more after dinner.
Now, back to our program of trying to dial out of here. The bank first, and then Galina.
Cheers...
