I am so friggin' bored. *stares at invoices, feels will to live slipping* There's a couple of jobs of interest in this week's jobs bulletin and I'm going to apply just for the sake of my sanity.

And I really must do some research on what options exist for moving to the USA, even if it's just for a short period. I suspect the answer is "very few" but I must look into it, for the sake of my sanity again, if nothing else.

This reminds me of when I was revising for my French O'Level. I used to practice verb tenses thus: "Je Bored, tu bored, il bored, elle bored, nous bordons, vous bordez, ils bored, elles bored" :P (I failed the O'Level....)

I don't know about short-term, but emigration to the US is extremely difficult for UK citizens (But not the Irish for some reason). Essentially it comes down to the catch-22 situation: You can't get a work permit without the offer of a job, but no-one will give you the offer of a job without a work permit.
Unless you have $500,000 to bring in, or a particularly unique skill-set that's in demand, or have immediate family in the US, you're unlikely to get in.
At least that was the situation 10 years ago when I was looking seriously at moving to New Hampshire. It may have changed...

*nods* I know the odds on emigration are very slim, but you can get permits for short stays, which I suspect are job dependent but what the heck, I may as well give it a shot. They can only point and laugh, right? :)

As you say. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
