You foreigner!! Canalien!!

Sorry to hear that Marilyn, I hope there are other positions like this in your area that you can apply for :thumbs:

yeah.. not sure what was wrong with my Canadian references... I could just have easily make up some local ones if I wanted... :wacko:

yeah, I just applied for another one for caring for a 7 year old girl.. it is in Pasadena though.. a little farther to drive...

I was reading the comments re: Henry Morgantaller receiving the order of Canada.. LOADS of fodder for the fire on that story & comments that followed.

Good lord, that's enough coffee for the whole of Calgary.

Another warm and humid day here in Florida.

So I noticed this morning that there are 2 dead beetles in the corner of our bedroom. There had been a box in that corner until the day before yesterday.

I don't know what insecticide they sprayed this place with - the bug equivalent of agent orange I guess, but I also wonder how those fine bugs made it all the way in to the corner of our room and where they heck they came from and if they hadn't used the agent orange equivalent would we be stepping over bugs as they ran through the apartment. blah.

I mean it's not like the place is wide open, we have a screened in porch and 2 windows in this place - and the airconditioning on all the time so it's not like we ever have a window open.

Enough bug talk - good morning!!

Please keep your fingers crossed for me, everyone...

I just went to a job interview today. It would be doing conference calls from home for about 20-25 hours a week with good pay. It's what I've wanted to do for a long time now and is perfect for what I'm needing.

The interview itself went well, but I had a small catastrophe where my home printer wouldn't print my résumé, so I had to e-mail it to the interviewer. He didn't look at it during the interview, so I'm worried about what he's going to think when he sees the long list of jobs that I've had within the past 7 years. He did say that attendance and staying at the company for at least a year if not more is very important, and I told him that wouldn't be a problem, but still... I'm scared that might blow my chances.

I won't know if I'm hired or not until next Tuesday or so... these next few days are going to be stressful...

SUPER DUPER news!!!!

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
