Holy shit where did I go!?
11 years ago
I cannot believe my last furaffinity journal was about leaving the UK. That was like a lifetime ago! I've been back in Australia for almost ten months now, and I was in the USA for at least two more before that!
So much and so little has happened this year. Got an amazing job working with wildlife, learnt an enormous amount about exotic animals and came closer then I've ever felt to landing my dream zoo job...
...and then found out that the wildlife job sucked due horrible bullying, inept management and constant euthanizing of animals. Missed out on a job at Australia Zoo by a hair's breath, and have found myself working for the clinic I started my career with...again.
Well, silver lining - I actually love being back at that old clinic, where I'm well liked, treated with dignity and appreciated greatly. Also, once or twice a month I get to locum at Dreamworld, which is always amazing.
And continuing the theme, Mangusu and I finally had a chance to make a forever home in Australia, with him getting a work visa, both of us could have careers here. We got a fantastic apartment, new bed, furniture, t.v, in a complex with a spa, pool and gym...
...only to spend the whole year with no one willing to hire Mangy (thanks to his visa restrictions and lack of higher education), consequently not having enough money to party as much as we should, and Mangy wanting to up and quit Australia (and rightly so).
Well, silver lining again - Now we are planning to move back to America. Sure we'll have to go through that whole inane visa process again, sure I'll have to spend literally tens of thousands of dollars re-training to get registered as a vet again, not to mention buying a car, furnishing a house, but at the end of it, we'll be in the Furry capital of the world! (Plus better internets and cheaper booooooze!)
So yeah, as you can see, a whole lot of something and a whole lot of nothing this year. Pretty much square one for both of us. (Except we hit our two year anniversary wooo!)
One outright positive however is that Phoenixwolf has started work on our fursuits finally ^.^ They should be ready by MFF, and fingers crossed you will see us there. So far mine looks AMAZING. One or two things I'm not super confident about it, but generally very impressed. Phoenixwolf does good cat!
