the limitations of my passport

22.april.05: i told a few of you that a temp agency contacted me about a great, very well-paying job in cambridge that i wanted very very badly. the contract was for 12 months, and i was more than willing to stay the whole year for it, if i got help with extending my visa. well, the temp agency contacted me back and said they’re very reluctant to bend over backwards for me. apparently they’ve tried extending an american work visit before, and it just didn’t work. they said that they would seek out their other applicants before they considered hiring me, and that’s ok. i’m still going to keep in touch, because they’ve said before that it’s a highly specialised job and that it was difficult to fill. they even had to eliminate some requirements just to see if anyone had the “mad skillz.” i have the skills, oh yes i do, but if i am completely ruled out, i really won’t mourn – it was a desk job, and i wanted to utilise my time in britain really interacting with people. something that a minimum-wage barista is required to do.

...but still.
