  • Back after a big shift.

    Well, after having dropped off the proverbial radar for a time, I'm back. A little over a month ago I made the big move and have shifted from New Zealand over to the US, being now located in Northern Cali. Still working on the red tape side of things though, SSA is being slow and has still not got my Social Security card out to me yet (and as many know, without the card, there is not a heck of a lot I can do)
    Violets are blue,
    Roses are red,
    I bequeath to thee...
    A boot to the head >_>

    Welcome back to CS, Kagato! ^__^

    And welcome to the wild, weird world that is the US of A, as well.

      You're in my home state, on the opposite end, admittedly.

          “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.
          One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
          The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

                Yeah, I don't have a SS number at all until I receive the card. Getting a bit grumpy since the 2 week mark has passed and I still have not received it yet. Had no luck contacting SSA today, trying again tomorrow. I can't apply for work full stop until my Adjustment of Status goes through USCIS... well, I can APPLY, I just can't WORK until the paperwork has been done and approved.

                  That's how I read it the first time too.

                  Does that make me a bad person?

                    How I read the title?

                    You didn't bring any quakes with you, did you?

                        Nah, lived too far north, for one thing. I was located in Auckland, while the big quakes were down in Canterbury, to the far south. Besides, doesn't California get enough quakes already?

                          You can blame St. Andrew for that.
