julietscity: how's the meeting?

romeobanglore: I am here...came just now

julietscity: Did the meeting change any of your decisions?

julietscity: Have you checked the mail I sent?

romeobanglore: no...since I am leaving, I don't have to worry about those.

julietscity: ok.

romeobanglore: I read your mail

julietscity: about Sylvia?

romeobanglore: I finished it

julietscity: oh...so...

julietscity: I forgot to check if I wrote where I came from?

romeobanglore: I don't remember...I think in Getfriends, there is no place to write your country

romeobanglore: You didn't write where you came from

julietscity: yes...only Asia...

romeobanglore: but most of the people there are from your country!

julietscity: NO!!!

julietscity: some of them are from HK.

romeobanglore: I think so...

julietscity: but Sylvia is now from Spain

romeobanglore: she might have been looking for someone from your country

julietscity: She might have seen me when we were in high school

julietscity: no... She is looking for a woman from Asia

julietscity: Why are you replying so slowly

romeobanglore: 5 minutes

julietscity: ok

romeobanglore: yes.....

julietscity: hmmm...

julietscity: Does anyone call any good news?

romeobanglore: after the meeting discussions

romeobanglore: he's a manager...

romeobanglore: with me in Germany

romeobanglore: last time

romeobanglore: he has been to your country...

romeobanglore: worked in Hitachi

julietscity: are you there?

julietscity: ???

romeobanglore: sorry...he came again........

romeobanglore: he wanted to discuss the things told in the meeting...

romeobanglore: really sorry........

romeobanglore: please...........

julietscity: Tell him to return to my country and never return to India

romeobanglore: pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

romeobanglore: no, he actually works at Hitachi India. He came there for a year

romeobanglore: hahaha...if he comes there, you will kill him!

julietscity: Is he gone?

romeobanglore: yes...now only I am here...

julietscity: can you chat right now?

romeobanglore: he is with his boss

julietscity: if not...let me know

romeobanglore: I can

romeobanglore: I am chatting

julietscity: I'm not interested in him... I don't even know who is coming or has been...

romeobanglore: ok...then I will tell him to go somewhere

julietscity: where were you last night?

julietscity: came home early and dated another consultant?

romeobanglore: last night, there was a presentation on CMM level...all we had to attend it...I was here till 6:30

julietscity: I was about to leave the office!

romeobanglore: The consultant still offered me only 65k. Because he said the market is a bit downturn now.

romeobanglore: if no one gives me 70, I will agree to it.

romeobanglore: he says after 6 months, I will get about 20% hike

romeobanglore: you are working too much, you know that?

julietscity: When can he arrange you there?

julietscity: Yes ... that's why I don't like this job. I don't even know when the paperwork ends.

romeobanglore: 4 months...I think...a maximum 5 months

julietscity: My god!!!

romeobanglore: if I agree now

romeobanglore: these are times when we need to be together

julietscity: NO...

romeobanglore: it is late, right?

julietscity: After 4 months... will there be no school to apply for... and I will not get a long-term visa

romeobanglore: but once I agree with him, I can ask him for a letter to give to the travel agency

julietscity: I don't adapt to my job... I want to leave early...

romeobanglore: make it 5 months...because after I get there, I need to find a place to stay, etc...

romeobanglore: you don't have to be there during my bench period

romeobanglore: I will ask other consultants whether they can arrange faster.

romeobanglore: but in the US, the H1-B Visa, will take 2-3 months to come through

romeobanglore: Can you try to find a job in the US that can speak your language? Then you will get a long-term visa

julietscity: excuse me... in which state are you coming to?

romeobanglore: I can't say....now...it is not in my hands...

julietscity: We have a lot of students studying overseas, these companies can easily hire people there, they will not give me a work visa

romeobanglore: but, find a job in some state...I will try to come there

julietscity: so... How can I find a job in a state and resign to fly to your city?

romeobanglore: yes...maybe...but just try...

julietscity: NO!

romeobanglore: but then you have a visa...

romeobanglore: you can travel anywhere in the US

romeobanglore: no...It's a bad idea

julietscity: It will cost a lot of money, I don't want to take risks...

romeobanglore: you have got a lot of experience...you might get a job there

julietscity: I can't even waste any of my money now...

romeobanglore: needs money for what?

romeobanglore: quit the job.....

romeobanglore: after coming to the US

romeobanglore: but it's not a good idea

romeobanglore: the problem now is that I can't tell the state, right?

julietscity: yes... Even applying for a school and gaining access can take 2-5 months

julietscity: Your 5 months and my 5 months... we will not meet until the next century.
