Not to upset the nice serious discussion, but wheeeeeee! Why did I not hear more people squealing about The Magic Bullet when it aired in the US? Damn but I love this episode--I'd call it my favourite of the season but I just finished watching it ten minutes ago so I have no perspective at all. Jasmine is so fucking creepy, she made my skin literally crawl--Gina Torres did an amazing job and I'm so glad they got a good actor for the role because Jasmine could have been such a ridiculous character with the wrong person playing her *cough*Glory*cough*. Amy Acker also blew me away, and usually I'm only so-so on her acting skills.

Does Jeff Bell have a shrine? Because I'm feeling the urge for ritual sacrifice and worship.

Eta because I'm a suffering a little post-episode brain deficiency and was using the wrong ep title.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Are you on an H1, Billytea? Because they changed the rules on those so you can switch employers.

I'm on an L1. Not that I actually wish to change employers at the moment, you understand. Just countries.

Can I ask someone from the UK a stupid question?

What is a Mini-cab? Is it just a cab/taxi, or is there a difference?

Is it just a cab/taxi, or is there a difference?

I've normally used 'mini-cab' to mean one booked in advance, normally by telephone, where a cab or a taxi is hired on the spot, on the street. UsageMV.

Ahhh...that makes sense.

And mini-cabs are actually smaller too, aren't they? As in normal sized cars rather than big black taxis.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What's an L1 visa about, billytea? I've only encountered H1 (three years, renewable once).

I was out for drinks this weekend with a friend who lives in NYC. She applied for her green card in 2001, and she's still waiting to hear. She's trying to think of where she'll work if she has to come back to Canada.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I found this info on the L-1 visa:

Overseas companies that have or wish to establish U.S. offices may need to transfer executive, managerial, or specialized personnel to the U.S. The L-1 Visa (Intra-company Transferee) enables these key employees to be posted temporarily at the U.S. parent, subsidiary, affiliate, or branch office.

I found this info on the L-1 visa:

That's pretty much my deal. We've just applied to have it extended, and to change Bec's visa to one that allows her to work.

Incidentally, I just received news from a friend of mine that his wife has won the green card lottery. So, go them.
