Visa troubles

Getting this J-1 work visa is turning into a complete headache. They keep whining that I don't have enough letters of recommendation, and I keep telling them that the companies I worked for no longer exist.

At the moment I have no idea if or when I'll get this visa so I can finally hit the road.

In addition to this annoyance, I'm also feeling a bit blue that tomorrow will be my last day with Wheelchair Service of Manitoba. They're really a great bunch of guys, and I'll miss working with them. Of course, I'll miss it a lot less when it's back to -40 outside.
