As I was saying the only hurdle stopping my successful application for A/ the job and B/ The Visa are the references from previous employers. Well I got them all today and one is poor, one is OK and the other is ace. You can guess who provided the crap one. How bitter can a huge company be? So what I used their time, money and resources to set up my company under their noses for sixth months – get over it. Clearly they haven’t so the only “reference” I got was a conformation that I worked there on some headed paper. But the idiots also sent a letter with it saying this will suffice for a visa application and that the person providing the other information is away on holiday so it may confuse the Hong Kong officials and/or new boss. We’ll see. In the meantime we have to continue on selling everything we own and finalising our business dealings and the hope that it all works out. And if it doesn’t we are cream crackered. As Des’ree said “Life, oh life! Oh life! Oh life! doo, doot doot dooo… Life, oh life! Oh life!”
