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....

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
