So not to sure how many people end up reading my blogs.... but a big update coming.
Since returning to SA I have had three different jobs at three different companies in 22 months. That may sound impressive but just havent found the right company. SO, in October last year I started looking for work abroad again... BUT what a mission.
I went for three interviews and made the cut for a job in Seattle, however when HR got involved they informed me all the H-1B visas for the year had been allocated. That is what I would need to enter the US. I was gutted as they had to give the role to someone else. I was however referred to an opportunity in Toronto, I went through the interview process and accepted the offer. BUT again I was frought by the visa issue, it would take 3-5 months for me to get the work visa to enter the country. Again the role was then given to someone else.
I then appied for a job in the UK and the UAE .. my application for the UK was unsuccessful and I got the job in the UAE!!!
Finallly!!
So we move in 5 months to Dubai. I love the city (not as much as London though) but its up there with my top 5.
We have also sold one of our houses, just waiting on the money to clear ... not that we will see any of it.. Credit Cards to pay off. No more debt.. yay.
Some random pics below from my life in SA..
our puppy Nikki
the other puppy Zia
got myself the new Bioshock.. not as good as the other two
found an awesome comic books shop near my house.
me handling my brothers snake .. a ball Python, he also has some massive spiders..
