After getting all excited and talking about the costs of crates for our furniture, getting a visa, what we'd sell and how we'd go about immigrating to the USA should a job be available in New York - Ross finds out from work that the USA have been outsourcing his job (batch scheduling or systems anaylsing) to India! Cheap labour! So we were a little miffed at that!!
On a slightly more positive note, Ross had a chat with his senior and together they had a chat with his boss' boss about the whole situation and they are going to offer Ross the extra training after all. We're still having to take a pay cut though and it's still not good enough. But Ross is really happy, he feels that for as long as he needs to do that commute, he can because he feels we're not just getting a good income but he's gaining experience which would enable him to get a different job closer to home. I'm happy as long as he's happy, but I would still prefer he wasn't away 12/13hrs a day. I know we'd have to make sacrifices to have Ross work closer - (big pay cuts, no work from home days and less flexibility) but to me we're making big sacrifices for the benefits we get at the moment.
We all have hayfever at the moment - I feel utterly dreadful. So we're off out to get some meds (see if there's any I can take while nursing) and have some time in the fresh air.
Oh and we voted in the European Election last night! Was very exciting!! (But Ryan screamed all the way there - why did we have to walk??)
Gotta go

I love the new blog! Thats so funny about Ryan screaming the whole way lol but sad too. Thats good news about Ross' job. I was looking on the Sony corp website at jobs and saw two for NJ but didn't know if it was exactly what Ross does. It's so hard having husbands whose jobs mean you have to keep asking what they do. Keep posting pics of Ryan and you all. I will try to start taking more of Ashlyn time is flying by. xxx
