I saying to Mrs Sod just this morning as I looked at a gorgeous tree lined ridge against the pale blue sky of southwest michigan - shit love, I'm gonna miss this place when we got home!
Non the less, it has been an adventure and there are bound to be many more to come. I feel like I will appreciate blighty more having been away for a while. In fact, we might even go on holiday somewhere other than Rhyll for a change next year ha ha. Anyway, good luck and hope it all works out for ya. Where abouts in lanc by the way? I have friends in Waterfoot mithering the life out me to move there instead of Mancehster. You never know :) |

I really sorry to read about your situation. I think three years is to soon to throw in the towel, keep trying I think it will get better, plus what types of work are you looking for?
Anyway, I took a job at a big box store for $9 per hour, very humiliating. |

I changed jobs in July and the blatant discrimination when people find out you're not American and a flag waving idiot is amazing.
I do symphathise with all the immigrants who arrive here, the average Texan is poorly educated, narrow-minded and insular. |
Re: Going back to UK Jan 2008
I am from Manchester too. Great place. So much life and so much to do. The weather can be bad (I was there this summer and it basically rained for 5 weeks). Anyway, I understand about moving back for your parents. The argument about no one recognizing your qualifications works both ways. I mostly did my job training here in the US (I am a school counsellor). My degree is not recognized enough (I have 60 graduate credits and I am getting licensed as a psychotherapist) in the UK and my job (school counsellor) does not really exist like here in the US. When I go back to the UK I have to go back to school and kinda start over. UGH! Good luck with your move!
