We spent a fair few months in 2023 wondering whether I'd be granted some kind of work pass enabling me to continue working in this Far Place in 2024. My status was 'under review' from late July to early November. Luckily we were granted the necessary, which came as more than a bit of relief at the time.
Now the process appears to be sort of repeating itself as the granting of a pass allowing me further employment in 2026 is similarly under review. This time round though I'm hoping for an earlier resolution as I've just been told I'm required to complete a medical by the ministry conducting the review - this being on top of the medical my immediate employers require of me for continued employment. In some ways it's consoling to have so many folk concerned about one's health; in other ways it's a bit disconcerting to know that no one takes the reasonable health of an elderly bloke like myself for granted. Including the bloke himself, of course.
Anyway, the Missus and I are now figuring out when we can pop along to the clinic and convince all and sundry that all is tickety-boo and I'm as rude health-wise as ever I was. The mild irony is that I'm so busy at work it's tricky to figure out exactly when I can carve out the time to do the necessary in as robust a manner as possible.
