Where don't you want to be when sick?

I'm going on day three of being sick and I'll tell you the last place you want to be is in a government office! My task today was to register at the FRRO office making me an official resident. Let me set this up for you, a long alley, no signs, climbing 3 flights of stairs. That is just to get to the fRRO office. I would never had made it without the professional General Mills hired on my behalf, Jay. Once there, I was told i would be on my own. Jay couldn't go into the room with me. So off I go, into a room with many people waiting and a few computer terminals. Trying to remember what Jay told me to do, I filled out my application online and headed to desk 2B. I'm not sure but i think i jumped to the front of the queue at this point - oops! After a very awkward conversation with the worker who spoke little English, I understood through gestures I should go pay now. In line to pay, I was happy to realize the lady in front of me was just as if not more confused than me. I know, that doesn't sound nice but it was a little comforting :) The last part finished up quickly and I was on my way. The whole process took about 2 hrs with 3 hrs travel time. I don't understand how people do it without a Jay. I know I wouldn't have made it!
