muggy sydney weather agrees with me, though having to get around the city sometimes doesn't. Sunday (yesterday) took me out to my business partner's house in Kings Langley via the M4 and M7. pretty efficient motorways.
i was out there in my quest for the UK Tier 1 Points Based General Work Visa. I say quest because that is actually what it feels like, making the search for the Holy Grail and Frodo's jaunt to destroy the one ring that rules them all pale in comparison for the search for the UK work visa...
maybe it's my suspicion that the universe isn't exactly working with me (i was going to say mistrust, but that's too strong a word). it seems that this process is a perfect example of me being able to convince myself that things are going to go against me...and, somehow feeling guilty about applying - as if my details and information aren't authentic...maybe this is a symptom of western society, it's members feel as if the "system" sees them as guilty, until proven innocent? reading all the information on the web about applying makes you feel like a criminal - if you lodge fraudulent information, you'll be refused entry for the next 10 years...
maybe thats part of the idea - make the process very complex and sometimes unclear, thus increasing the barrier to gaining the visa a little bit, so you have to be really committed and organised to be successful?
i don't know, most of the time it just leaves me feeling anxious...but i guess anxiety is an existential symptom...there's always something to be worried about, though, in most cases, we're not worried about "what is" but something that might happen...hmmm...
