Hi Sith, I agree with
@lina_ballerina , its bittersweet to see you here again. I read your comments in the Nov thread hinting that that you found peace with this whole process and found a new job and new priorities and had moved on happily into the sunset no longer giving an f. Wonderful. For me I'm at the same mindset as someone who has just been dumped at the altar and doesn't know WTF just happened, nor what to do with himself, in limbo, angry and frustrated at the process, myself, the accidental geography of my birth, my propensity to wallow in self-pity of late and my anxiety at lack of control over this whole roller-coaster. My boss keeps asking me to give him an update on whether I'm immigrating or not so that he can figure out if he'll want me to work remotely, or to staff up and replace me, and I keep saying 'any day now, its 6 months, thats when 80% of applicants know their status' even though I know full well that its a f*#($^#g lie and no one knows when if ever this thing is going to happen let alone how to make transition plans on a large complex portfolio that needs stability! Then to add insult to injury I find myself spending my precious time here grouchily trawling through other peoples experiences bemused at the paradox of it all, wanting to be the next to relay my success and yet happy and gratified whilst concurrently insanely jealous of anyone who makes it through before I do. And feeling terrible for the poor folks who recieved a late rejection (imagine how cruel it is to get a rejection at this stage!) I suppose one day one will look back at all this and think nice nostalgic memories, but for now, I must say, it sucks to be here, and to be going through this, with no control. It just sucks. SUCKS!
