Work permit cont'd

So went again to the kreisburo. This time one floor up. When you come there you are met by three doors, each with a bell and one of these lamps red-yellow-green. You ring the bell and when they decide that their coffee break is over you are let in. You show the letter, telling them you need this and that paper. They print it off, put a big fat stamp on it, hold it still in their hand while saying "17 francs bitte". You can clearly see in their eyes that they will never hand the paper over until you have given them the money. 17 francs less I get the paper, only to see it says "herr" and not "frau" on it. Excuse me? Do I look like a man? So she went to do the whole procedure once again. I was almost expecting another "17 francs bitte", but luckily not. While I was waiting I was reading about the "strafregister", you know the other no-jail paper I had to apply for? Apparently they advertise that you can now apply for this over the internet. HA! That's certainly not what the form I got said. So far I have paid 65 CHF for the application, 20 CHF for the no-jail certificate and 17 CHF for todays paper. I wonder how much they're gonna charge me when I finally do get the permit? If ever...
