Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Sorry to hear about the sister-in-law who just doesn't get it! My future sister-in-law is similar. In addition she has been doing all she can to make me feel guilty that I am taking her beloved brother from Canada from her (she lives 6 hours away and NEVER visits because of her and her husband's finances) and she has been telling her brother (my fiance') "You will never find a job in the U.S. We don't want you to be worrying about where your mortgage payment will come from or how you will keep the heat turned on." UGH! Go away, woman! My fiance' and I made a decision and put down money on the adventure (i.e. we paid for the k-1 visa petition). Now on to my biggest VENT: PEOPLE WHO ASK WHY I NEED A VISA TO GET MARRIED AND WHY I CAN'T JUST GET MARRIED NOW! I don't want to be separated from my husband (when we get married). The last couple of weeks people have been pressing me for "the date" of the wedding so they can make their summer vacation/holiday plans. Trying to explain to them the process is useless. They don't get it. There are several that keep saying, "Why don't you just get married when he comes down to visit next?" They don't understand that if we did that, it is a different visa, he would have to go back to Canada (because he needs to work until the visa is approved and he can permanently stay in the U.S.), and IT IS ANOTHER VISA FEE! In just a few months, I will be able to tell them when our Montreal interview is and even then my fiance' will need to wait for his passport to be mailed back with visa stamp. All our planning is based on the "hope" that he gets an interview in May or June at least 3 weeks before our "proposed" wedding date of July 11, 2010. Why can't people just back off! What have other K-1 visa applicants done with these crazies? We have all been there! The questions and assumptions get sooooo frustrating! I pretty much just stopped explaining myself. I kept my answers very short and to the point. In regards to the wedding date we had a tentative date planned about 2 months before the interview. We emailed all our friends & family and told them of the date but not to make concrete plans until they got a "save the date" email from theknot.com. Which gave them in total about 6 mos notice. I have to say family was probably the most understanding, it's all my idiot co workers that had NO CLUE! LoL!	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-02-10 11:01:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Thank you everyone. It's hard being away when things like this are going on! I hope the figure out what's wrong once & for all! They finally got him out of the ER, not in a room yet... But at least on a ward in the hallway...	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-02-09 11:42:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Days like today make me realize just how far I am from my family... Dad is in the hospital.. They admitted him but has to spend night in the ER due to lack of beds upstairs... He will be okay from the way mom said what happened but I still worry. I guess a few days in the hospital to run some tests.. Just wish I could go visit him, I'm sure he's fine, just still sucks....I'm a 15 hr drive from family...	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-02-08 20:46:00

Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	It's Monday....& had to be up early to take my car in... I hate potholes! Let's see how much $$$ in damages this will be... Let's hope maybe warranty might kick in? Just as I was pulling up to the dealership the courtesy van departed... had to wait ONE hour for it to come back... It only had 2 people in it when it left!! *sigh* Grrrrrrr! Ok good & bad news! The problem that "required attention soon" from last oil change parts are being covered under warranty. Bad news...have to order parts from Canada.... They just called to say that thr car isn't ready& won't be until tomorrow!!! The alignment "rack" has been busy all day... They couldn't see a problem visually and couldn't duplicate the screechig sound after I hit thr pothole coming from right wheels... Huummmm here's a thought.... How about the city start filling the potholes! Maybe shops won't be so damn busy!!! Yes read a newspaper article about how most reimbursement claims are denied even tho they are crater sized!

Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	UGH!!!!!! So I got the job I applied for and started work on Thursday. On Friday our Jeep (aka the deathbox) dies. Now I have no reliable transportation to/from work except for transit. It doesn't operate on Sundays, and stops running at 6:20 PM M-Sat. So work closes at 6 and I have to hope that I get on the bus for 6:15 otherwise I'm SOL. GOD I HATE THAT JEEP. My husband refuses to ditch it just keeps trying to fix a lost cause. I think I'm going to have to use my income to save up and buy my own POS. Congrats on the job beans! Sorry about the jeep cars are never ending $$$ pits! Transit in my area is not the greatest... It's a heck of a walk just to the nearest bus stop... I don't know what I would do if my car died. kimbear- no you are not overreacting at all. I've been in the same situation with living alone and neighbors partying... I did have to call cops & apartment mangers a few times... It's unnerving for sure. I lived beside one of my classmates and he was havig constant parties... He got kicked out.... Sooooo awkward especially when your classes are small!	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-30 18:50:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Ugh. add us to car problems. Wes bought a new (used) car in June after his transmission in the truck blew up. The car misfired a couple months ago and hasn't been running right since. It will start to lurch and such while idling at a stop light. They had said they couldn't find anything wrong with it last time he had it in, thankfully they didn't charge him, but this time apparently we need to replace some of the cabling, the spark plugs, and flush the transmission fluid because its all dirty. Cost of parts and labor? Over $500. All this after all the costs of moving and getting set up here. I feel horrible because I feel like I should be working like yesterday to help out. I kind of want to cry. So sorry steph:( car problems suck. It won't be long until you are able to work. It's going to feel like forever but it will fly by so fast. In the meantime though I know you guys will make it work, this is just a molehill not a mountain.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-27 10:18:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Sorry to hear about the job loss Rhian what horrible timing, but at least it won't affect the wedding you have planned. The job market is tough right now for sure. I've only had 2 interview so far... Getting a bit nervous, one I finally got a denial letter for, the second I am still waiting... They should know by end of next week! I don't like this SUSPENSE I am very thankful for EI, but I'd rather be working!!! I am in the unfortunate group of people that their industry in Canada pays alot more than here in the USA. Almost 40-50% less! I am still coming to grips with that and trying not to get in the way. It's so FRUSTRATING!!! I also feel like the 2 years of experience I have post bachelors degree mean nothing here in the US in my state with current jobs I am looking at and interviewing for. One of this years was working in the US but in a different state than I currently reside. I knew I'd have to start all over again but didn't realize it would be this difficult! *pulls my hair out* Edited by minnew, 22 January 2010 - 04:56 PM.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-22 16:54:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	I got a January payment for GST direct deposited in my TD account!!! #######! I notified them when I moved in October, gave them my new address and told me I was not eligible for the payment as I had moved to the USA!! About a month later got a notice in the mail to pay back $55 of the $150 I got...not sure why it wasn't the whole thing...maybe for SK? I dunno... anyways...Now I have to call them and get this straightened out! Add this to the list of people I have to call!	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-11 22:01:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	I'm not sure about your area, but in my area back in Canada if they didn't clear it for you or there was ice on the sidewalk of apartments and even city sidewalks, you can call the city and they can be charged with endangerment. Maybe it's worth giving the city a call and see if it applies? Because leaving ice on the apartment sidewalk and just saying "Oh I didnt get around to it" is just stupid. The apartment community is responsible for snow removal as well as making sure entrances are free of ice and snow. they do this through own equipment and private companies. Unfortunately I think the city is responsible for sanding in this community but it's blantantly obvious they skipped two hills that lead to parking spots. The road is only passable one car at a time and there are no sidewalks anywhere, I have to walk down the side of a road to get to my dumpster.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-09 20:16:00
Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	Ouch. Get some ice on it, elevate it. Thank you MrsCat! it's still throbbing! I will be welcoming the warm up of the weather to high 20's low 30's! Now if my husband and I get get my car unstuck at the bottom of the hill tomorrow that would be great! It's stuck in the parking lot below us for another apartment building! Stupid sanitation truck picked a good day to come up the road that only one car can pass at a time, I moved over then got stuck trying to get back on the road. I couldn't go forward, the only place I could go without blocking traffic was down a small hill which leads to parking for the building below us! I love living in this apartment.... It's quiet but the hilly area is torture when the winter storms keep on coming!! Almost 3 ft of snow in the past month! If we don't get the car out..... I guess I am driving hubby to work & taking his car to my job interview that I already had to reschedule once due to this wicked weather and my car being stuck! Grrr tow truck wouldn't even pull me out... He said he wasn't going to risk getting stuck on the hill, not enough sand. Road assistance only authorized me for 10ft of winching! Well that's not gonna help much if you pull me out of my parki ng spot and I STILL can't get out!! Yes.... I'm stuck in a parking spot.... Wheels spinning and all! So icy underneath! Still need enough momentum to get up the hill, I could only get about 1/2 up then i started sliding backwards! ah yes the tow which I waited 9 hours for the first day I called couldn't even get to me be ause of a car blocking the only entrance in and out, his truck would have hit the car apparently!! Made 2 calls to complain to apartment managers about the sitatution.... " oh he coukd've gotten around"... The second time to complain that no sand/salt had been put down nor had it been plowed where my car is stuck! Heard the bobcat later on that day .... But went down to check the area today... Looks like nothing had been done!! uggggggghhhhhh! Pass the liquor.....	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-01-09 20:03:00

Uggh try to pull the covers over my head and go back to sleep but the dog is now awake!... How can a 3lb little bundle of joy take up so much room on a queen size bed!?!? Fine and dandy... Husband leaves for work, I'm reading VJ trying to fall back asleep... By the time I do... I hear his car pull up...just as I'm falling back asleep... He's home and PO'd because he waited around at work and NOONE showed up... Think someone could have had the decency to call and say it was a "down day". Nope nightshifters showed up too... But left a NOTE... Brings home Mickie dees breakfast which I'm assuming he was going to eat at work... Oh well I get a hashbrown outta the deal... Then BRAINFREEZE @ 6:30 am due to a iced cappucino mccafe.... Owwww... I've given up sleeping today.... Just as I'm falling back asleep the dog needs to go outside....

Canada	The Vent - Part Trois	QUOTE (ashenflowers @ Nov 15 2009, 06:29 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alright, apparently I'm Venty today, (and I don't mean Venti as in Starbucks, though it is a large amount of venting... har har) FYI to any USCs who have promised their spouses, REPEATEDLY, that you will come up to help them move... don't start discussing options that include you completely reneging on your promise and making them go alone. When moving options are discussed, breaking a promise shouldn't be one of the options.... My fiancé just did that, and he's lucky he's waaaay out of arms length, cause I'm about ready to punch the retardedness out of him. Pardon my non-PC mouth. I feel your pain ashen, my USC husband did the same thing, discussed at length how he would drive up to Canada and help me move. All I had was two car loads of stuff, not enough to warrant my own uhaul though, a minivan would have been perfect. Alot of my stuff stayed in the apt he continued to rent after I had to move back to Canada. Furniture, kitchen stuff, etc..etc... Too much stuff happened in between the filing of k1 and promise to help me move and the actual move, our wedding plans changed as well, too much work and family stuff for him that didn't allow him to come I was pissed at first, and my parents were as well, but not much u can do. I moved by myself, packed down my hatchback wedding dress too and I was on my way, it was sad but liberating to know I could move my life by myself and in 1 vechile. I got rid of alot of stuff and a few little boxes came with my parents. I hope you guys can come to a peaceful resolution.	minnew	Female	Canada	2009-11-16 12:47:00

Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	How about a black dress? I've heard you're not supposed to wear black to a wedding because its the color you'd wear to a funeral. But I guess so many people have black and white weddings these days it doesn't make much sense anymore... I've never heard anyone say not to wear red however... Trying to catch up on VJ! Feel like I am out of the loop! Enjoying my new job though! On days off right now! My aunt sent me an email before my wedding asking me if it was ok to wear black and white because of the "theme", and ask guests to show up in black & white too. I told her no I did not have a theme even though my colors were red, white and black. I told her "little black dress" is ok for the ladies, black and white for the men, or any color really!! Sorry, my opinion its just disrespectful for woman to show up to a wedding wearing white. The families, groom etc of course matter, its the reason you are getting married, but the spotlight is on the bride, always has been that way.... People don't go up to the groom and say OMG your suit its soooo gorgeous!.. LOL! Now if that spotlight gets too big and the bride is becomes a whiney B*TCH (it's ALL about me), becomes a nutcase and is not courteous throughout the entire wedding planning process then its time to slap her!!	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-04-13 15:51:00

Darkchilde & Joyce, ugh housework.... Hubby is not here for a few mos... Can I sign a waiver? No one else but the dog will see the house... Wyatt, yay! Congrats! GC should arrive soon! Huggles, let us know how you like the security system. The first week or two I would probably have the alarm going off accidentally ALOT. I started my first week of training today for my new job! Today I have off! I am honestly impressed at how well the company trains their employees and how organized everything is. Information is pretty much all electronic, kind of like electronic medical records...everyone who needs to know has access. No more sorting through 2 full paper files to find case notes or a disorganized computer system of "drives"& people who name folders & files incorrectly. All my shadow shifts are scheduled and my regular scheule is set to start first week of April. Definitely been keeping busy, but still missing the hubster . I feel awful for complaining because I think of the families who go through year long deployments. It's tough no matter what.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-03-25 13:31:00

Canada	Off Topic Part Quatre	I also found it strange that during the "in memoriam" part they didn't even mention Farrah Fawcett but they mentioned Michael Jackson. I was thinking the same thing! Michael Jackson was he ever nominated for an Oscar? I really want to see The Hurt Locker too, my husband is interested in it too, but heard that if you are active duty that you are probably not going to like the portrayal...that its fake & corny...guess I can't judge it yet but I will watch it once. I haven't seen the Blind Side yet either, but I do want to see it. Sandra Bullock's acting has gotten better over the years and I think she can switch from comedy to more serious movies.

I also got word today that the police station might be looking for dispatchers. Tim doesn't seemed thrilled, because of the possibility of graveyard shifts, but I think a job like that would really be interesting. Hope something comes your way soon... Wow, strange. But best of luck! I'm sure you'll do great! @Marilyn- omg they really thought someone would fall for that! @ j&k- good luck on the interview! An essay? I've never had to do that! I had to do a computer module for critical thinking & problem solving that took me 2 hours! Oh and also a word document formattig test! @ Joyce- graveyard shifts are definitely tough it's a lifestyle change! If your house isn't exactly quiet I wouldn't recommend it! ...parents & sister at home in Canada...uuggh!I did them for 11 months @ at youth facility. It was rewarding but can be extremely stressful.

I forgot to plug it back in this morning. . . . . and now we missed the taping of Top Gear. Chris is going to realize this in 2 minutes when he starts to chow on dinner. . . . . . Oh no! Not top gear!! It was a good episode last night too! My hubby & I love the show too! He got me into watching it now too! My job while he is gone for 3 mos is to make sure the new episodes get recorded AND saved on the DVR for when he gets back from overseas.	minnew	Female	Canada	2010-02-23 10:56:00
