Re: Been here 6 months today and...
Good question. It is interesting as to me it carries a sense of conforming to a 'norm'. Apparently everyone comes to accept a given situation eventually. Some days I think I've cracked it and some days definitely not.

Maybe!
Yeah, I'm not sure what it is anymore either, I used to think I knew.
Everyone has a different definition of normal and and a different set of circumstances to accept if they move I suppose.
Not sure that I'll ever crack it permanently all the while I'm in the USA. After almost 10 years here I feel I should have, but after reading what other people write, maybe not.

I love it here. I've been here over three years, and have absolutely no desire to ever go back to the UK.

I have had a few good years here, and some very good times, but it can be a very cold and lonely place...

Re: Been here 6 months today and...
How the heck did you manage that? I work for a large Fortune 500 company (been there 11 plus years) and get 15 days vacation and 6 public holidays - one miserable day for Thanksgiving and one for Christmas. You must work for the government to get all that time off!!!!
