What is in a date?

So I was ill the end of last week, hence I did not update my blog. (The picture on the right was taken on my ride back to L's last week. I always feel better when I am on the train back to L's). I got to relax at L's place with her cats - so it was good times and for a few days I was able to forget.

I read that UAFA (the act that would allow L to sponsor me to stay) was mentioned in People magazine and that Obama is supporting gay immigration. I hope it is sooner rather than later, I hate how people get to play with my life. Only I should be responsible for deciding what happens, not my boss or the government. I am NOT doing anything wrong.

Talking about my boss, I had to have my weekly meeting with him this morning, whereby my return date was brought up. Apparently even though he booked my flight, (and he knew when my last date in the NY office was going to be when he booked it) I have to use my holiday allowance if I want to stay until June 26th. I can stay here until June 12th and not use any holiday allowance, fine. However if I want to stay like originally planned until June 26th then I will have to use 10 days holiday time. If I use those days then I can't come back and see L as we planned during the rest of the year. (Can you tell how nice my boss is being to me!!!!). I spoke to my future manager in the London office who is fighting for me to stay until the 26th and not use any of my allotted holiday allowance. It is bad enough that I have to leave in a 8 weeks as it is, but to then tell me it is now going to be 6 weeks, is just tough. I never thought I would ever feel 'hatred' towards someone - but now I know that I can and do!
