Aloha, meaning Hello, and Goodbye.
So, this is our life: I'm unemployed, J is transferring to Manchester UK. To say our emotions are all over the place would be a gross understatement.
We are staying positive about it all...what the hell else could you do and keep your sanity? My being unemployed has provided the opportunity for us to travel a little bit. Remember our Vegas/Grand Canyon trip in August? J's birthday trip delayed due to my work. Well, for my birthday we went to Hawaii! It was a awesome trip (not the 9-hour flight). My facebook friends can see photos from both trips. I've almost completed another semester at the Citadel; evening classes are a bitch. We had discussed a few different plans for me, all of which come back to "will that help us get to Canada?"
One more frustration to add to the idea of re-applying for Canadian PR, is that stupid list of "jobs in demand" I've probably seen 10 listings for accommodations managers on the combined job boards I've been following. This experience was not detailed on application, in part because I didn't think it mattered, and in part because there is no proof of my duties. Just love how managers with no ethics can screw you up. We finally received our refund of application fees.
Re-applying, knowing what we know now, will have to wait.
But, the focus now is getting J to the United Kingdom. We fly in 11 days! No clue as to housing, internet, driving, etc. The only thing we know for sure is the job. Again, coming back to "will that help us get to Canada?" We will be separated until then, or if this bass-akwards country would get their shit together and pass a true bill of rights! We also entertained the idea of just relocating together to UK. But, that's not really what we want. We just want to be together, like any other couple. Work, play, family, love...why is that so difficult to understand?
