beansideNew contender added onto yesterday's list of places to go if the US gets sucky? Portugal, where you can get a temporary resident visa for a year, renew it for five years, and then get a permanent resident card. After a year of that, you can apply for citizenship. I think it boils down primarily to either Mexico or Portugal. We'd be able to afford more in Mexico, but my lord, the heat. Portugal would be more expensive, but the temperature is more comfortable. I mean, we'll see how things go, but I feel better knowing that I have options.
As I was saying to Jess, I feel like even if the US drastically improves, it might be worth it. I've spent my entire life in the same 1/2mile. I started out in this house, we moved to an apartment around the corner, and then we moved back when I was 18 to help take care of my grandmother. I've never lived on my own or anywhere else. The longest I've been away was on the 10 day Disney trip. It might be good for me to go somewhere. And of course, if you get EU citizenship, you can basically work anywhere in the EU.
Yesterday, the systems were down at work, so I spent the first two hours reviewing my notes, and generally fucking around. Eventually it all came back up, and then I shadowed one of my coworkers for a few hours while my trainer's computer was fixed. It was interesting to see how people do things differently, but I was happy to go back to learning in the afternoon.
Today is Friday! This means an hour lunch, but super early at 12, because my trainer has a weekly hour long meeting. We're working on MRIs today, which I've been assured is a bit of a killer. I'm looking forward to it.
Then, it'll be the weekend! Whoo! It's not a horribly busy one. Though some grocery shopping will need to be done at some point, so that'll be fun.
Okay, short one today. I'm going to go forth and consider some pants and maybe some more coffee.
