: : Dinner with the Canadians : :
Tuesday, December 21, 2004
Went to Brett and Jolene's last night - my two Canadian friends, also here on a traineeship - Jolene is still waiting for a visa to come through even though she moved here in September/October - I read Zoe got screwed around in the same way with the Suisse visa, That sucks, and I feel for you Zoe, but at least you didn't come here first, like Jolene. Poor girl is stuck at home all day, and the weather is not the best for getting out and doing stuff; Must really be going out of her head being couped up in that small apartment all day...On the flip side, she is becoming quite the gastronomic delight what with all the free time to cook, and dinner and beers last night was a great pre-christmas get together. They head to France for xmas, but next week we all drive to Prague. Hopefully she can start working 2 or 3 weeks into Jan...
I feel the pain of the visa issue too, having been selected for the best possible position for my development only to have it taken away for the colour of my visa, a nice shade of Aussie blue and commonwealth - considered a third country status by Suisse....
Well, my xmas and new years has a heap load of uncertainty - I really have no idea where I will be after March 05 - heres to throwing the deck in the air and letting the cards fall where they may....Laura is here tomorrow morning!!!!! Now I am off to buy a snowboard!
