Hurrah for academia

I have to say that while I tend to think of academia as being slow, stuffy, heavy on red tape and arcane in its ways the response from Judith's people on our need for new visas has been fantastic.

They've found a way that she can keep working through to the end of her contract - though she may have to take a break while a new visa comes through, losing a month of pay. Not a bad trade off. It would also mean that I could stay too - though I'd not be able to work.

May have some news on that front too - though it would require a big favor from someone and I'm not sure that what I'm asking is in their power to grant. We shall see. Nothing rosy, but nothing ashen either.

And Jude gave me a name for my new company. Her million dollar education finally paying off. I love it. Registering it and then I'll have more.

Oh and fingers crossed for a stock rally - I have some assets to liquidate...

I have a bad feeling I'm starting to look like Snape, what with my long lanky hair and facial hives. All I need now is a billowing black robe. Hurrah for academia.
