It's in the stars...and stripes II - Build me up...buttercup?

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. - Les Brown

21 April 2005

It was exactly two weeks before I saw Angela’s name in my mail again.

I would be interviewed on 27 April for a possible assignment in San Francisco, San Jose or Los Angeles. With the email came the perfunctory employment application that I need to fill up and bring to the interview.

Angela informed me that should the stars be in my favor, I would be granted a full H1B visa sponsorship for an October 2005 start date. This last line did it for me.

Once again, the dam broke loose. A torrent of thoughts and images fought for space in my brain. Having been let loose, my mind was slowly but progressively rendering reality as I knew and lived it as nothing more than an illusion.

Goodness. My imagination was already shooting for the moon. To think that I still had to hurdle the interview.

So God help me.
