brit visa?

Yeah.

It is actually a simple process but HR has been pretty slow and made a mistake with the most important document for the application so I'll most likely have to start from scratch.

It's almost impossible to do anything these days.

COVID hasn't really been a problem. Political instability and civil unrest have been more of a problem for me. There's a nationwide strike because the government is trying to pass commie/police state laws.

Be careful with that shit.


Our company fucked up with one of our managers re applications of work visa. This dude, who worked for 9 years here (never applied for citizenship lol), who they brought over specifically for this job, had to move back with his family for 8 months to Egypt, reaply from there, in the height of corona outbreak, all because of their fuck up.

Lol, why wouldn't he apply for citizenship? I guess he lost his right to claim citizenship and will have to start from zero again.

Yeah it's scary but it should be okay in my case. My start date will be delayed for a month though.

@swag what's good in Portugese literature? I read Tavares.

Wow. Serious question.

There are lots of good existential or otherwise poets ... Camões to Pessoa and Quental.

Literature, there's always Saramago, Queiroz, Peixoto and the absurdist Alexandre O'Neill.

I have explored them a little, but you really need a good translator. English is brute force for the most part. And Spanish is consistent and efficient, but by comparison it lacks the precision and subtlety of word choice in Portuguese, which can nuance more of the unsaid.

I'm interested in what you discover. It's a pretty interesting historical culture, IMO.

M8s, with the ability to work fully remotely now (thanks rona, boomers finally up to date), decided to go on a 6 month long workation next year across North America.

Here's the tentative route. As you can see, while up in the Great North, I'll be sticking close to the Murica border for time/logistical purposes. But Canadians and others familiar with the land of our polite neighbors, do you recommend making one or two exceptions and trek farther north for a week or two?

- - - Updated - - -

Any highly recommended places farther north? And would Alaska be defo worth it?

 

[ALC]

I’d do key west if you haven’t been before, would be a cool place to grab a morning coffee, hit the beach, and work

The "beach" is ass IMO. It's a nice little town though. Good if you wanna do stuff like scuba diving and other aquatic activities.

بیا پایین بچه، حرف مفت نزن، سردرد گرفتیم

in different languages :

Kid come down, don't say bullshit, we got headaches

kom ner unge, snacka inte skit, vi fick huvudvärk

宝贝，快来听诗吧，别说我们的头疼
.
حبيبي ، انزل إلى القصيدة ، لا تقل أن رأسنا يؤلمنا
.
Körpə, aşağı en şeirə, başımız ağrıyır demə
.
Bébé, viens au poème, ne dis pas qu'on a mal à la tête
.
Baby, komm runter zum Gedicht, sag nicht, dass unser Kopf wehtut
.
बेबी, कविता के लिए नीचे आओ, यह मत कहो कि हमारा सिर दर्द करता है
.
Leanbh, teacht anuas ar an dán, ná habair go gortaítear ár gceann
.
Piccola, scendi alla poesia, non dire che ci fa male la testa
.
赤ちゃん、詩に来て、頭が痛いとは言わないで
.
Детка, перейди к стихотворению, не говори, что у нас болит голова
.
Bebeğim gel şiire başımız ağrıyor deme
.
Baba, kom tot die gedig, moenie sê ons kop is seer nie

kom ner unge, snacka inte skit, vi fick huvudvärk

Baby, komm runter zum Gedicht sounds like a good pick-up line though.

Hey man, those variants aren't gonna spread themselves.

 

[Dostoevsky]

I went on some lectures about Dostoevsky and there was some grandma... man! She was breathing so loudly I was so fucking annoyed. Then in like 5 minutes I saw her sleeping LITERALLY for the entire lecture. I was thinking if a loud applause would give her a hearth attack but it went fine.

 

[DAiDEViL]

What if she died?
