I hate it when someone gets news that a dear friend has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and there are no words to express how heart-wrenching that news is for all who are close to the person who is sick. (One of Daddy's dear friends was taken ill and He just got the news a few minutes ago.)

There are words.

I love you.
What can I do to help?
You are important and you matter to me.
I'm sorry that you are going through this.
Do you need anything?
Does your family need anything?
I'm going to take care of (insert chore or housework of choice here) while you are going through treatment.

My mother was diagnosed last July with cancer, she passed away Thanksgiving weekend. The thoughts, prayers and help from family and friends with taking care of our home and yard, while I was caring for her, was more help than I could ever thank anyone for. My neighbor's son took care of raking our yard, family helped with errands - including grocery shopping- or they would sit with her while I ran errands, so that she wouldn't have to be alone. Small things like this made a world of difference, and showed in an unspoken way how important we were and are to them.

By the way... DRH, I AM sorry that you and your Daddy have to go through this. It's not an easy road, and I will keep you in my prayers that the path your friend is on has a cure and is painless.

I hate that all the job listings I'm finding in the UK say "must have work permit or be a citizen"

GAH!! How can I get the permit if they don't hire me??

I could be ready to go in less than a week. Mainly just need to pack up the personal stuff I'd take (artwork, photos, books, music collection), and clothing. Get the cats their traveling papers.
He's keeping his eyes open. Running into the same issue I am - the permit thing.

I hate it when I check on the child support case with my ex and discover he's over $10,000 in arrears on his support and the last payment he made was early last June. No wonder I don't bother checking...

P.S. - for the flip side of this, see the "I Love It When" thread..... *snickers*

Right. the employer has to apply for it. and with the mandate that hiring must be done from within the EU before looking outside of the EU, it's even harder. I work in the hotel industry.
UNfortunately there doesnt seem to be a provision for a visa to come look for work, if you're not an EU national.

Yeah, I've been checking IHG, Hyatt, Hilton, HI, etc. *sigh* Hilton has a year wait period before you can do an international transfer.
None of the hotels here in town are hiring desk staff right now.. everyone is hanging on to their jobs (friggin economy).

Which may explain why there have been so few listings there. People don't generally want to leave a job where they KNOW they'll be getting a paycheck in economic times like these.

I *know* I kick ass at hotel reception. I would do well in other customer service stuff, except retail. been there, done that.. ripped a few heads off..LOL
Problem is that those same jobs can be filled easily from within the EU. Figured hotel is my best bet, since I have almost 5 yrs at the same property, lots of positive guest feedback (for the hotel and for me, personally).
