Len's ranting time....

[G&A 1]

Hey all, I know you are the only ones that actually give a rodent's butt, so here goes my rant. Family just doesn't get it, and other people just give me lame lines (alongside the "why don't you stay here" one which I hate the most) so we've stopped talking to pretty much everyone around us .

I had already planned my "escape route" and was happy....

Plan a : If interview 1st half of sept, quit Aug 31, move last week of sept.

Plan b : If interview 2nd half of sept, quit sept 15, move last week of sept.

NOW, with the utterly ambivalent and sh!tty responses from MTL, I am so upset it's not even funny - move could happen in october (and there goes 800 CAD more in another month's rent). Can't plan sh!t, can't look for appartment, can't look for job.... argggghhhh. Feel trapped, encased, and more depressed than usual. I am still hoping for a september interview (I am on MTL system since end of March, so it should be); but the pressure mounts. Dr. Bren is done with graduate school, bored sh!tless of being here without doing squat (student visa holder, so work is out of the ???) and without being able to just grab a job in the US since he would have to leave without yours truly and he just won't do that (another reason to love the man even more). Add to it the fact that I hate my college job (they hired me to do one thing and I ended up doing sh!t I don't know sh!t about and don't want to do). ARGH. I tell you this is driving me crazy. REason why I haven't posted much. I am upset, sad, angry, and don't like being so negative.

This is my sunday vent... brought to you courtesy of MTL.

Len, insane and

i am pretty sure that canada has a program that graduates can work for 2 yrs after their graduation date. it may be as simple as filing out a form. i think we all should be experts at forms by now. I dont know what the Dr.'s background if being a professor is the only option then you are sol.

Both our graduate backgrounds are good when it comes to teaching; but we honestly do not want to live here. We just want OUT.

thanks all for your support - means a lot to us.
