I'm waiting on an official document from a government agency but they're so backed up that it's taking forever. I feel sorry because I know they're short-staffed and overworked but I really need the document this month or at the beginning of next month, otherwise my job contract and visa will be canceled. I feel unlucky because people in my program who sent their documents after me received theirs already. I tried to reach out to my rep for help but they're super slow to respond. I know they're short-staffed and overworked as well so I feel sorry even asking. There are issues more pressing than mine and I get that but I'm really worried I won't get that document in time. It would suck so hard if THIS ONE DOC was the reason I couldn't get my job, after months of work for the application. Also, my stuff is still in Korea, in storage because I assumed I would go back after a couple months.
I'm living with my parents in the meantime and it's been rough to do as an adult. I'm helping around the house, paying for my own meals, etc. I feel like sometimes my mom doesn't realize I have other things to do. For example, I had to write emails related to my work and the doc all day and I still managed to dye my mom's hair, do 2 loads of laundry for the family (washed, folded and put away), wash the dishes, clean the bathroom and gather all the trash from the bins into 1 big bag. She came home and said, "Oh you should've at least taken the trash out."
