Arrivals, Frustrations with Banking, and the pains of travel..

I'm back in Seattle but to be honest I'm shattered. Found out after I'd landed that there's been yet another problem with some banking back home and people haven't taken money out of my account when they promised they would, and the money is still laying about in there. Obviously it would be worse if I didnt have the money and it bounced.. but it's frustrating because I HAVE the money!

Ah well. This time I have mixed feeling about being back. This place feels like home now, because of proximity to friends, things to do, working ethics and having a handle on my own time. But there's so much missing, and I'm feeling woefully temporary about the whole thing. I've ditched my anchors in the Uk with regards to posessions (aside from my car which im seriously contemplating selling), so I'm feeling slightly wierd, mainly because over here, in Washington, it's very much "home" but I cant settle. I want to be able to get my apartment organised, get car sorted, and start accumulating posessions and be able to say "right im off home" at the end of a day.. rather than knowing im actually heading back to a hotel, and I have to keep an eye on the calendar so I dont end up being here illegally and thus get deported.

What annoys me seriously is this is all my employers fault. But I do actually enjoy my job so much right now I havent been able to bring myself to really seriously put my foot down and do something about it. I seem to have a lot of support for relocation but nobody seems to actually want to do something about it.

I have four weeks here this time, then im back in the UK again. When that happens I will have to take stock and see what I really want to do with my life because it's all rather limbo like at the moment. Not sure I like it.

In short, everything is a bit "waaaaah". All very uncertain, very temporary.

At least im not *actually* miserable though! Just a bit odd!
