Does not working make it a vacation??

More news on the "Tyler needs a job" front.

So we found out that when I go over with C, that it is illegal for me to work. Yeah, sounds awesome. I thought so to.

Turns out also, that we need money for things like food and shelter. Merde (<-- I'm glad I learned this French word early because I'm sure I will be saying it A LOT).

We just learned that if I do manage to find a job, I can petition the French govt. to have my long stay visa turned into a work visa.. This also comes with a 1300 Euro application fee. That fee does not guarantee acceptance, either.

I guess as long as I have a shovel, overalls, a glimmering smile, and a mastering of the French version of "I dig you ditch" I will be OK.. But I really (And I cannot stress enough how REALLY) don't want it to come to this.
