Nothing much to report. Woke up more sore this morning than I was all yesterday, but it passed, and now I feel almost back to normal.

Tomorrow we find out for sure on the Singapore contract, but we're already assuming it's a "no go". We looked a little more into emigrating to Australia -- turns out that to get approved, it's both more money than we expected (about $1000 US) and more time (6-12 months -- faster if we find a job that's willing to sponsor either one of us to move there, but that's not so easy). There's some other weird rules too -- we may need to submit fingerprints, chest x-rays, and a personality profile. This sounds a bit extreme for a country where there used to be one entry requirement: "You are a hardened criminal."

England and New Zealand won't even have us -- both have a system where you add up points based on your age (the younger the better), work experience, education, and personal finances, and we come up short in both countries. Feh.
