<p><p>Hey you I invited you to be a friend ...and if i can pry further what area of PhD in Philosophy was it, epistemology, existentialism, bioethics, and as you may see i have a quote from Kierkegaard ...just trying to make intellectual conversation cos Im losing the plot.</p></p>

<p><p>No employer sponsorship, from any employer its through a de facto partner/spouse visa...we met long before I got here, I took a gamble and came we had to prove we lived together a year, then apply that took the best part of 21 months then I got the temp visa all the while no work then you get the temp and here we are 7+ months nothing and Im not alone....I wouldnt mind if I could realistically see any hope..I have spent tonnes of money air fare visa alone with medical and police clearances form UK USA and Oz would you believe $3500 all in and living expense....I just dont people think it its easy or be naive about the realities and it could be Adelaide but my visa is tied to living with her...so I just dont know... its a difficult situation Im sure I could get work in Melbourne or Sydney....Adelaide is a small minded parochial town that its all about who you know here....fyi</p></p>

<p><p>Im just saying is it any wonder we dont have jobs...between PIO, me at the gym and you in a quandary over ugg boots.....LMAO :biglaugh:</p></p>

<p><p>Oh by the by your choice in music 'est c'est magnifique'. J'aime Bowie, amour Pink Floyd and Redding....so we have that in common besides being domestic goddesses and no work...and you like Mojitos must dash...need to get to gym...and finish some tutoring editing stuff for my pennants. TTFN</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Trust me Ms Cats I think the likes of your good self and I along with a few others would make good friends but Im not so presumptuous to assume that. We may fight over the Jaffas...LOL I will be coming trust me if either of us doesnt get the hell out of here first....LOL God forbid we couldnt meet up and have a laugh over getting a job...there seems to be some good folks here none in bloody hell Adelaide....christ just had a quick look at the PIO in Adelaide site just slit me wrists number people whining about no work...its not just me....I gotta meet people...do i have to go back into coaching footy please God noooooo!!!!!!</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>Hope you are well last night I did a special flied lice..tonight its salmon one way ....sesame crusted with green beans and cashes with some rice noodles....hmmmm sworn off Jaffas FYI 9 weeks no chocolate....I will be a grumpy bear. Take care!</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>I bet we could have a few larfs...well mojitos at least...i never surrender but the decisions I have made these last 6 years have been horrendous...I swear God is paying me back...still onwards and upwards </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>I will get a car load of jaffas....yes and the FFS on certificates for Barista dont stop there a security guard has to be licensed at a cost of $1500....i just dont have $3000 spare </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>I get the volunteering thing...people dont want to look laterally and think you can do anything if you have not done exactly what they want or that you are capable....they want everything...there was a whole show on hiring on Insight last night....discrimination etc..chat soon...hang in there your a terrific Naomi!</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Like your style re food and hiding stuff...LOL ...I dont do windows and I just bought some Palmolive....according to madge it works wonders on your cuticles...</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>I was hoping I would have a shot at the new Federal program Teach Next a program to be a teacher as in career changer...but much like this shite visa they only want citizens and PR and its only for WA and ACT...I have to stay here cos of partner...who by the way constantly fails to understand my need to work for me sanity and says im too influenced by money, and reminds me weekly that the British walked the Aboriginals over the cliffs....things are just rosey....</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>Its to expensive to retrain at uni here may just find a way to do the CELTA and off to teach ESL in 3rd world.....then France here I come... Check out Gumtree in Sydney...you cant get a Barista job without a certificate here but just may be something to help the sanity...what does OH do exactly?</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Yo girl....hows it hanging....me im trawling through the gumtree job ads...wahoo....anything casual...i saw you said you have only been here 6 months me im on 28 now and only had working visa (oxymoron I might add) 7 months....mines temp is yours PR or temp?</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>Have to dash have my house work to do...shopping and gym a womans work is never done how on earth did my mum do it all those years....no wonder there was a feminist revolution...</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>You said: "Feeling a bit desperate and slightly depressed to be honest, so frustrating when you know what you want and can't do anything to get it " </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>There is no reading my mind...situation beyond hopeless am totally deflated and utterly frustrated...more Jaffas required! </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>Sorry you are in my boat! Least we are not rowing alone...LOL </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>Hope the party went well!</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>I know you are a girlie.....all woman from what I hear..LOL I'll be waiting outside looking up to the sky for any low flying objects...lol</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>Autumn its 34c here Im sick to death of heat...Id kill for Autumn..miss the seasons....I fill my time looking for land or property in France....LOL</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>The whole useful thing is really playing on me am I that inept or worthless...30 years of professional experience nothing to show for it...totally unrecognized here have to admit I thought British attitudes were foreign to me christ Oz is another level...may just head back to states for couple years and buy my French shack and at least im in north in civilised world even if its broke closer to footy and LFC </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>best of luck with party....</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>PS you are not weird. Well just a little..LOL</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Darling as much free time as I have besides ironing me pinnie being the domestic beatch LOL Jaffa's well worth the risk of venturing out unto the never never. As for the recruiters we must be at the same ones Ive even offered to work a day for free..to show how I can add value...I think only having a temp visa doesnt help. As for weird well yes you are but then that makes me too in that class....they dont value having been a director in companies...albeit Lockheed Martin, a university and consultancy or they hate brits or that i have USA corporate experience and they are down on USA altogether I dont know but I dont even care what I do...Im going to go for a convenience store job or Office works...im still tutoring...for my sins it provides spending capital I resent having to be retrained to get a job here...I dont mind going back to uni but it wont be here I'll go to the UK online first.</p></p>

<p><p>Okay Munch Baby if I were a woman...id be jealous of that pix...LOL wanna add you to me friends on account you being an LFC supporter if thats right. Sleep tight dont forget the Pork sarnie love.</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Hello....how are you...</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>Havent heard form you in a while...Jaffa's apparently have been spotted at Foodland in Hope Valley some 30 minutes away....by bus that is...so road trip required out into the never never thats never never ever leave the city....scary...LMAO </p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>So how is job hunt?? Are you watching MKR?</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>part 2</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>I suggest and I dont know where you are in the UK but a call to Australilan Embassy in London or visit since you would be filing in UK and then have your partner send his papers to you. FYI they lost some of ours that wanted proof we had domiciled together for the period bank account with both names, mail I received at her address so that proved we were living together. You can contact me for more informartion I will try to answer it if I can - best of luck but since you are in UK it might be different the forms are straight forward and there is no need for an agent really a waste of money. I promise you you two can fill them in. You can always make the boyfriend/partner go to the local office they were really great with me and helpful until they lost the papers. Just for the record we originally met on the net it was 2 years until we met we are still together now coming on 5 years...there is hope.</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>All the best Steven</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Part 1</p></p>

<p><p> </p></p>

<p><p>Krissy..hi sorry about your situation at home - i hope it all works out for the best. My name is Steve and I came to be with my partner who lived here I was in the Uk she is an Aussie with a great academic job. I came on a non working holiday visa as I was over 45. We lived together i kept renewing the visa up until 9 months then wwe complied all the stuff application, police checks which for me meant USA FBI, and State as well as UK and Australian Federal police. We filed in Adeliade and and it was moved to Perth for processing. They told me that since I was here we could file after 9 months they then give you a bridging visa while the process takes 6-9 months beforew you are granted a temporary de-facto which we now have. That lasts up to 2 years before permanent. It was $2500 for the visa then now about $3000 and medical and that was $500 here.</p></p>

<p> </p>

<p><p>Sorry but do you have the link, its so cool and I absolutely love rain, not that I get much here..LOL it would be so great to at least have it on file to look at. Thanks for getting back to me.</p></p>
