Frustrated

What a frustrating day I have had. For those who are not aware...I'm trying to find work in London. And today my loophole into the UK just closed. There is a program called the HSWV: Highly Skilled Work Visa which I believed I totally qualified for. To my disdain, they recently closed the loophole. In May of this year they changed the automatic 65 points for an MBA to only qualify for the top 50 business schools in the world. Shiznit! I knew I should have went to Harvard instead of Colorado University. So, now I'm still filing out this form and scraping for points. The other way to score was if I can prove I was a high wage earner for the last 12 months. Yeah, haven't worked the last 11 months. So, now I am forever trapped in the cycle of "you need a job to get a work permit, but you need a work permit to get a job."

The worst part is that my current financial situation may keep me trapped in the states which makes it MUCH more difficult to interview for a UK job. I just can't afford to be in one of the worlds most expensive city for two months with no salary. Now what? Get a job to get a job? Ugh!

Rocky Moutain High

I hate to fill up space quoting John Denver lyrics. And I never thought I'd say this but: he totally nailed me. He nailed this place. He really nailed how I feel. Since leaving the United States I have a new profound appreciation for this artist. I'll keep it to the first verse...but if you know me well...you know how this song lyric stuff works with me.

He was born in the summer of his twentyseventh year
coming home to a place he'd never been before.

He left yesterday behind him
you might say he was born again
you might say he found a key to ev'ry door.

When he first came to the mountains his life was away
on the road and hangin' by a song.
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
it keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long.

But the Colorado Rocky Mountain high

I've seen it rainin' fire in the sky.
The shadow from the starlight
is softer than a lullaby.
Rocky mountain high in Colorado.
Rocky mountain high in Colorado.
