Six AM call to the Foreign Ministry in Athens. They said that they couldn't find my visa authorization in their files, and to call the Periferia. Call to the Periferia went unanswered. (Call to the office in Athens led to my learning that the Periferia generally doesn't open for business on Fridays. Their tax euros at work.)

Starting to wonder if somebody circular-filed my approval out of spite.
