    Fulbright scholarship to teach Irish in America sounds like it could be a great adventure. Only problem is that my boss is due to retire around the time I'd have to travel over, so I can't really take a sabbatical when I either (a) have a new boss starting or (b) become the boss

    Looks like it's an opportunity I may have to pass up this time...

    Just bought a freaking awesome gift for my bf for his upcoming birthday. He's gonna love it. I LOVE getting gifts for people...one of the few things I am good at! Now if only I was able to spend his birthday with him this year (and him, mine, for that matter) :(

    Trying to decide if I want to go back to being a redhead. If I do, then do I do it now or wait until November????

    Fulbright scholarship is a hell of a thing to pass up.I'd say go for it. When you come back, give your job the opportunity to hire back a Fulbright scholar. If they turn that down, it's their loss.

    Agreed, go for it! Big change, going to the US.... life changing. And that is always exciting. :)

    My wife has a job interview at my alma mater tomorrow morning. She needs a change and I'm so nervous for her. I hope she gets the job.

    Job applications are a little easier to swallow when they are for really damn cool jobs. Moving home was hard, but I can't deny the opportunities here. The job app grind is tough, though. Real tough. Hoping something comes my way sooner rather than later. I feel like I've been saying that for a year....because I have been :lol: It's officially been about a year (since I seriously started looking for a job) unemployed.

    same boat somewhat...moved home to be closer to family knowing the terrible job prospects (little to none), huge competition for the good jobs, and nothing but minimum wagejobs to support a family of 3 and two pets. not giving up hope but damn its hard and im second guessing our decision. Might have to end up moving away (10hrs or so) from family to work....defeating the whole purpose of moving from Ontario but Im hoping something comes up. I wish all applications/employers would give a pfo letter so your not sitting around waiting... tell me so i can move on fuckers....haha

    Yeah situations like ours are never easy when it all doesn't match up like you want it. Just gotta be persistent and try to stay positive. Easier said than done, but I have hope. Best of luck to you, Nami!
