You know how sometimes you feel like you are stuck in a rut. Doing the same things, day in, day out. Nothing much changes, you are just getting older.
These are mine right now.
Problem: I can't move forward with my PR application.
Reasons why I cant move forward: I keep encountering road blocks. Right now, it's the company who can't give me a payrise to the minimum wage level necessary for me to be eligible for an ENS application until Jan 2014, where all the others get their payrises too.
If I were to change company, that would reset the necessary 1 year that i would have to be in the role, before I start negiotiating if they would like to assist me in the application again. One step forward, three steps back.
What I should do now: Wait the two months. But how do I let it go? As in, I have been applying since Aug 2013. And it has been difficult almost the whole way. Now they want to put of the pay increase two months because they can.
2. Problem: I want to take the next big step. Getting a house. Not a big one, but just sufficient for me to know that if anything goes wrong, at least i still have a roof over my head to weather the storm.
Reasons why I cant move forward: This cant be done now without my PR.
Solution: Wait until the PR is sorted then go for house viewings.
Is it because the current things i want are in someone else's hands, that's why i'm feeling this way?
