This morning as I revised and reprinted the documents that the MCC contracted lawyer sent to us regarding immigration processes for incoming workers this fall, I marveled that the sheer inefficiency of this professional. Granted, in Mexico notaries have more legal power than lawyers; however it is no excuse for lack of organization. On Tuesday morning, Abogado (Lawyer) Lorenzo and I sat together clicking every link on the Mexican Immigration website in search of yet another form that we needed to complete. This was a form and website on which he recently training. After five minutes, we found the form only to discover that a certain organizational document was not on file. To his defense, it is quite impressive the amount of paper work that is required to keep the offices of the Mexican bureaucracy oiled and running.
With this key document not on file and the our legal representative about to take a transatlantic flight, not to return for three months, the situation of urgency and anxiety was forced upon us. So this morning, instead of having a calm last day in Mexico before his evening flight, Ricardo, an already anxious person, rushed to the office to sign papers and provide the required documentation. I tried to have everything printed and ready for him to sign; however, when the lawyer arrived I was told to change some of the wording on five documents that he send to us less than an hour ago. I am sure the saga will continue.
Efficiency.
