The Vent - Part Trois

[bowflex 0]

Very sorry to hear that, at least everything for the wedding is already paid for. Best of luck to him in finding something quickly!!

Sorry to hear about ur husband loosing his job.

One could put a whole sticky to YES U CAN VISIT, but people still wouldn't read it, or they would post something along the lines i don't have time to read the 15 pages so can u just tell me, as my time is much more important than yours,lol

[Malrothien 6]

*hugs Rhi* Sorry, girl.

[kizza 1]

Im sorry to hear about your husband Rhian. That really sucks. I hope things work out quickly for you guys.

Alright, I need to vent because today, it's been 4 months since we got our NOA1, and Im watching people from november get approved while we've been told our case simply hadnt been assigned to an adjudicator yet.

I know we havent been waiting that long, and that patience is a virtue and all that krap, but when I think of the wait Im also facing in Montreal, it just feels like this is never going to happen.

bleh... I feel like calling it a week, chuking a good mug of neocitron spiked with rum and sleeping off the weekend!

... and I dont even have a cold.

[lgg 2]

Ha! Your NeoCitron thing made me laugh!

I know... the waiting sucks so, so, so, so hard. IT really does. But it'll be worth it in the end and what I've found, is that while it sucks, when things start rolling along, you forget aaaaalll about how long you waited. Promise....

Go hang out, relax do some fun kizza things and well, gear up to wait and accept it. Before you know it, you'll be racing around going, "OMFG, I can't believe i'm doing it and it's here and holy cow!"

Chin up...

Sorry to hear about the job loss Rhian what horrible timing, but at least it won't affect the wedding you have planned. The job market is tough right now for sure.

I've only had 2 interview so far... Getting a bit nervous, one I finally got a denial letter for, the second I am still waiting... They should know by end of next week! I don't like this SUSPENSE I am very thankful for EI, but I'd rather be working!!!

I am in the unfortunate group of people that their industry in Canada pays alot more than here in the USA. Almost 40-50% less! I am still coming to grips with that and trying not to get in the way. It's so FRUSTRATING!!! I also feel like the 2 years of experience I have post bachelors degree mean nothing here in the US in my state with current jobs I am looking at and interviewing for. One of this years was working in the US but in a different state than I currently reside.

I knew I'd have to start all over again but didn't realize it would be this difficult!

Thanks!

And I know you waited for ever...

Ive been doing my best to stay positive and fill my time with fun stuff, but it's the end of another week, with still no word.

I think fun stuff right now is going to involve chocolate pastries

hehehe... that will cheer me up for while.

[Krikit 1,163]

we should all just start telling them NO! you can't visit!

I SO wish we could do that. lol

lol, i don't understand how you can resist the temptation to just say "OMFG n00b read the guides"

Trust me, sometimes I'd just like to waltz in and yell at them for not doing a search first. It's only the questions that get asked a milliion times a day that make me want to tear my hair out. I've seen them stack the same question one on top of the other! OMG. Read the freaking page of thread topics before posting the same freaking question right above it!!!!!

Most times I don't even bother entering the thread. It's only the ones with the trick subject titles that pull me in. LOL

LOLZ!!!!!

Well,l haven't we ALL asked that question at one point or another?

Sorry lady, there are perks with your job as there are pitfalls.

Uhhhhhh...... for example?

I say just pin a thread and use that head banging emoticon next to it - "Stuff you know you shouldn't ask" - then plug all the info in there!!

That's the key! Post a thread saying "DON'T ASK THIS QUESTION"! That'll be sure to get some attention.

We just got such bad news

My fiance was terminated from his job, and in such bad timing.

I hope there's jobs out there for him, the job market is so bad right now...

Oh, Rhiann. I'm so sorry.

One could put a whole sticky to YES U CAN VISIT, but people still wouldn't read it, or they would post something along the lines i don't have time to read the 15 pages so can u just tell me, as my time is much more important than yours,lol

Ain't that the truth?

I am in the unfortunate group of people that their industry in Canada pays alot more than here in the USA. Almost 40-50% less!

I hear you, Minnew. I was shocked when I saw the salaries here.

[trailmix 77]

Rhiann, just wanted to say sorry about your Husband's job! I wanted to post something yesterday but got sidetracked with all the interviews rolling in. I'm sure he will find something else soon

[Rhiannercakes 14]

Thanks, everyone.

He was going on and on and on about it last night when we were in our room, poor guy.

I think he's doing better today. He's technically on vacation right now (he was supposed to be anyway) so I think he's just trying to relax a bit while looking around for jobs. He's going to be looking more after the wedding.

The one thing he's really having a hard time with is what to tell my parents if they ask. He feels like he's going to let them down.

His job loss isnt going to affect our AOS support form is it?

[Necrotica 0]

My husband was robbed last night. They broke into his truck last night WHILE HE WAS SLEEPING IN IT. When he woke up, he found his truck doors open. They could have easily killed him!!!

They stole his vest. His passport was in it.

What is he going to do if the DMV refuses to take his extension letter so he can renew his CDL?! He's already made a police report with the cop that came out to the truck stop and called some "Canadian Emergency Line" for citizens out of the country. Does he have to do anything else, other than apply for a replacement passport? How do we do that?

How is he going to get in to do his biometrics?! He needs he passport to be let in, doesn't he??? I have a copy of his passport biography page; will that help?

I can't believe this. Thank gods nothing else was stolen (he had an Xbox, TV, his wallet, and other stuff in there), but still... he still needs his passport for immigration stuff!!!

I can't stop crying. :crying:

[Sprailenes 47]

Omg necrotica! That is AWFUL!

I am so sorry this has happened.

[Rhiannercakes 14]

That's terrible!

His passport of all things

I'm glad he's not hurt though.

It's always a tough time to go through after one loses their job. Make sure your fiance takes care of his health!

They still give out FU letters (denial letters)? I would be so happy if I got one--instead, most just ignore you like you don't exist.
