Holy EVOO Batman, 4 Weeks!

I just called the LA branch of the CA Division of Labor to ask about Madi's work permit. I was redirected to the Van Nuys office, because they're consolidating offices. So I called Van Nuys, and inquired about the permit and was told that it is taking up to 4 weeks nowadays because of the "merger" of the offices. Holy crepe suzette! But they told me that if a job comes up to call back, and they'll expedite the permit.
