Congratulations, that was a magnificent win for Liverpool.
thanks to fifa, all I can hear whenever people across the pond talk about sports is a British dude saying" ohhhhhhh what a finish!!! "
Naked? Sure, why not.
Uh, even I can be in UK as long as I want without any visa...So made a trip to Edmonton and back at the beginning of the week for my UK visa application. Got up there to get my biometrics done and the employees are all contractors who know nothing and answered no questions. So I am given this checklist of like a dozen things and only half of which I was asked to bring for the application. So I was panicked plus I had to pay $2000 for the damn thing. Since these contractors have no idea what the visa requirements are I get no info and left all panicked that I didn't bring the right paperwork. I get home to see the checklist they gave me was for ALL settlement visas for the UK. So now I still have my doubts as to wether I will be fine. But apparently I can appeal the decision and even enter the UK while it is appealed. My God this process sucks so much. And I may have to make an impromptu trip to Ireland if things go weirdly.wait a minute, aren't you Canadian? you need a visa to visit GB?? you even share the head of state but can not travel at will ?
thats strange
I am moving to the UK guys. My husband got a job with Cambridge University, we will be living in Bedfordshire starting the end of May. That's why I need the visa :P

We know. We are all just surprised that Her Majesty's Loyal Subject From Colonies (You are Canadian, right?) needs to have visa to do so when we, Uncouth Eastern Europe Foreigners can come, settle and even work without any such complex paperwork.
For PFS credit? :D
nope, just for fun with friends.
Just for fun? You obviously fail to grasp the Importance of Gaming.

Hence all the horrid political stuff with the EU & the UK.
But it's tricky for non-EU residents to work/live over here, whilst I'm sure it is going to the US (even for holiday's).| 3 people marked this as a favorite. |
So. This day wasn't so incredibly awful. Doom Came To Dustpawn with friends both old(baronaremhashevaum) and new(everyone else there). A PM from even more supportive friends. And I just edited one more piece for my publisher. I have one more to go and then the anthology is complete!!!! I'm excited about something for the first time in a while. But I've got to go get some sleep so I can get ready for work tomorrow. That might be a trial as I missed Friday to deal with the obvious, but I'm actually looking forward to chopping down the very thick tree that is my caseload a bit.
Things are still strained, but with support like this, sharp pain is turning into a dull, if insistent, ache.

Good morning FAWTLY Folk! Happy (but painful) Monday! Still very, very sore from Saturday, but huge props to Tordek and his son for helping out with the move. I gave then mead.
So we're in the house now. Everything's a mess, and I'm still getting s!&& out of the old house, but it's coming along well. There's some differences. Lots more space. And the upstairs bathrooms are going to necessitate some changes to how we store towels, give kids baths, etc. but so far everything is going well.

The one bummer thing, which we just found out about last night - dishwasher doesn't work. Either they forgot to hook the power up to it, or the switch that cuts the power to it is bad, or the dishwasher itself is fubar. We'll see. I told the wife to give the folks who sold the house a call, get there happy asses in there, and fix that s##$.
Glad to hear the move is going well.

Also good to hear.
I'm working on something that I was going to post in a semi popular topic. If it comes out the way I'm thinking it might, it might be too large for a post here and I may submit it to Wayfinder instead. Here's hoping I don't go over(or under) board.

It will, which is why it's good news for me.
We went to see the new Captain America movie last night and it was awesome.
I may be going to see it next week.
Are we still tentatively on for Saturday?
It will, which is why it's good news for me.

I understand the stickiness with the Visa situation. They want to make sure you're not a layabout who is coming over to collect public funds. But in my case I have thoroughly proven that is not the case. They have my full employment history, they have my husbands full employment history. They have my husbands letter of offer from the company he is going to work for including wage. They have proof we are not in a greencard marriage with a marriage license going back 4 and half years ago + leases that go back even further with both our names on it. So I think all will be fine, but even so this is stressful.
I know it's utterly stupid & I'm in no way defending immigration. One of my friends nearly outstayed her visa and was shipped back off to the horrors of California.

*grumble-grumble*
When I went for my second break I found my locker to be opened and single pound that was in my backpack missing - the padlock and locker itself are very crappy. In fact the locker can be opened with a bit of manipulation without taking the padlock off.
I reported that to security. They promised to check CCTV.
When I returned home I found that I have some spare change in pocket of the other trousers (we need to wear work-provided clothing at work, without pockets). It is possible that I freaked out seeing opened locker and it wasn't actual robbery - stupid joke or just crappy locker opening due to someone accidentally bumping into it or something.
I woke up to see a bit of snow on the ground. Then I checked the weather: 6-10 inches expected today! Holy moly!
:D
Must be Monday... Everyone's busy at work.
We work harder trying to AVOID work before 8am than most people actually spend doing work all day!
:D
(Or, something like that?) ;P
I feel need to make some Master of Magic conversions to pathfinder... Myrran dark elves are probably first to go (guess who are my favorite race? warlocks rule!)
Must be Monday... Everyone's busy at work.
Did I ever mention the fact that I drive a cab?

I recall, but don't believe. How can you drive a car with wings for hands?
