Also, I realize my face looks weird and pixelated and I would appreciate you not mocking my disability.
Is it weird that even with your face blurred, you look like I expected you to look.
I don’t know if that’s good or bad.
Hurrah!
(now please for my sanity straighten those picture frames)
The teenager will just put them askew again. She keeps doing it for some reason.
Congratulations mate, I look forward to you developing a strong opinion on the best flavour of monster munch
Edit: Where do you reckon you’ll end up or are you looking all over?
I am looking all over. As long as I can get a job, that’s where I’ll live. The goal is to just get my daughter (who is queer) out of the U.S. where she’ll be safer.
Well I can’t blame you for that
Obviously you will end up where you end up, but I’d advocate for my current corner of the country in the north west (Manchester & Liverpool) as being particularly friendly and open minded places
Edit: might take you a week or two to get an ear for the accents though haha
Not me, I’m fine with British accents (overall). My wife and daughter on the other hand…
Immersion is the best way to get used to it anyway!
I wish you luck in your search man, (preemptive) welcome to the UK!
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to get over there!
Until I zoomed in, I thought the passport was a flask. My eyes must be going bad at my age. I can’t make out ANY of the details of his face!!!
That’s just my natural face and I already said it was a sensitive topic.
:(
Congratulations are in order, I think! Happy for you for taking care of your fam and escaping our crazy country. Most importantly, I hope a lot of stress has been relieved for you all and you can be much less stressed job hunting. At any rate, almost any job that will hire you should work for now, just to get you stabilised there. Best of luck in your job search and happy holiday ahead.
I’ve been dabbling with the idea of moving to the UK with my spouse, but we haven’t seriously pursued it. We loved visiting multiple times and enjoyed the vibe. This inspires me to take a look into it further. I’m a software engineer working remotely and I’m curious if my company would let me move abroad. I’m going to talk to my spouse more seriously about this over the winter holiday and see what happens. We’re both sad about the US - I really thought and believed that the people in this country were inherently good and decent and wouldn’t let it fall to Fascism. Constitution over cult. Boy did it hurt to find out how wrong I was. Feel like we also need to escape, and if we can’t get across the pond, at least moving to a progressive state is in order.
Wow! Congrats Squid! I’m very jealous, but very happy for you!
Get some Yorkshire Gold tea and Heinz Beans to practice.
Bah. Yorkshire Gold. English tea is weak now that I’ve discovered Irish tea. Never going back.
(Also, thanks!)
