So - I handed my notice in today....It was tough....I've given 3-1/2 weeks as I didn't know what the 'norm' is here in the States. In the UK it's a month and I think that's the case in New Zealand as well.
It hit me today what my boss here has actually done for me by pushing the case of getting a work visa for the US for Margot and I. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have met the people I know here, the band, we wouldn't be set up in terms of a bank account, social security number, address (we're keeping it and forwarding mail), cell phone numbers etc etc.....we have a life-long business and personal connection to the US because of my boss's efforts.....
How do you easily say "seeya" to that? You don't - it was hard....

Oh come on now Danny Boy - you'll make me all teary eyed. I've signed onto the blog to MAKE SURE YOU REALLY LEAVE, lol!
ReplyDeletewow man, big things happening. good on ya. Look for me sailing from Hawaii to NZ one of these days!
ReplyDeleteHey Lucky bastards!!! I love the fact that you just go for it!! the adventure, the unknown (well not really that unknown but you get my drift!) I am quiet jealous!!
ReplyDeleteIt occured to me that any respectable road trip deserve a good sound track and so I 'm working on one that would be named after you, A full list of songs put together espcially for you!! I can't see how you could get it for the trip but you can always listen to it later when you're old and have ten kids and keep it as a souvenir your suggestions are welcome!
Song 1: The year of the cat (Al Stewart) perfect for a night drive
By the way Mr D. Carney, do you realize that you only called me once within a year (via skype) year which is simply inacceptable, just not a good way to treat an old frog!! Can't wait to see you both sometime, somewhere on the planet
Peace, Love and Harmony!!!!!
Fab
When you learn English I'll call you...HA HA!!
