Good luck Emancipation!

I've started applying for jobs (slowly mind you, think my mind is a little fuzzy from all this vacation). I work in IT doing software testing, so most of it is online. Very repetitive :( What I've noticed around the DC area is alot of companies are looking for Security clearance because they take government contracts.

As an aside ....my husband's company is bidding for a Gov contract to design a 'workflow management tool' for USCIS! In layman's terms it means they know they need help in making their processes faster! A little late for us tho :)

Morning all!!

Did I tell everyone I have a new job? Hubby does as well - it was his first day at work today and mine is on Monday.. so our long holidays are officially over.. but so is the lack of $$ !!! :dance:

ya if one has a security clearance in the DC area your laughing! I think the price for the company to get 1 a Top secret clearance for an individual can cost up to $15,000! So if ya already have one, thats a huge bonus. Thats 1 reason why some people start out working for State Dept. and move on!! And of course not all State/govt job require a high security classification!!

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1

Wow. Congratulations to Emancipation and The Kipster.

Hope you're feeling better soon, Carla.

Thank God someone's throwing money at the USCIS, Udella. We still have to remove conditions and, from what I'm reading, it takes a year or more. Maybe they'll have picked up some speed by the time we get to it.

Can't help you with the song, Trailmix. Thank God. I don't need any more songs stuck in my head for the day.

Okay, gotta run. Have a chiropractic appointment in.... OMG...

Morning peepz. I'm in a super good mood today -- my friend Sarah from Deadmonton will land in SeaTac airport at 7:41 p.m. Mamma in law et moi will go get her, and then have a nice dinner chez in laws; then off to where the poor people live for a night of conversation and gossip.

Tomorrow we'll go to the Pike Market, much to the dismay of our sister Spirit Allright. Promise to think about her!!!!

Any news on our resident pervert? Has he shown his "face" at all? I'm beginning to worry.

Hope carla feels better, kudos emancipation for taking da-bus to work (so do I and it's nice sister); and let's get this Friday rolling!!! :dance: :dance:

(L) Pike Place Market. Many, many fond memories of visiting my friends in Seattle and traipsing around the area. I miss the Pacific Northwest so much it isn't funny :(

Nini - Vancouver BC, Canada (she's the one who does the forum thing)

Bee - Devon PA, USA (he's the one who gave her the shiny ring)

Getting our sanity tested by bureaucracy since 2007.

Here we go again...
