Dang

Mrmole - let me also say that I love your Avatar. It is my favorite one on the forum.

I spent a year in Cardiff, Wales working for the Number 118118 (I am sure you saw the corny runners on TV). They are always looking, but I am sure you probably don't want to work in Wales.

I am really sorry to hear about your job, but another one should be around the corner soon, especially in your area of expertise.

Take care, mate.

I got a temporary work visa from the UK government with the understanding that I would be training my replacement most of the assignment. Also, I had to get paid 40% in the UK (in pounds) and 60% in my US account (in dollars). Thank God I didn't have to do my taxes (the company paid for E&Y to do them).

It is a bitch getting a work visa for the UK. You really have to prove that there is no one else in the country that can do the job.

I loved it over there.
