As mentioned, we are in the process of moving from Angola to Indonesia.  I am (once again) frustrated with the process.  As has been the practice for 20 years, I am being asked to make key decisions for my family and me based on little or no information.

Cases in point:

I have been advised my move was approved, but have never been actually offered the position.

I have been advised my work permit will be ready by end-June, but I have not been told how much I will earn.

I have been told to schedule my travel from Angola to Indonesia, but have not been advised if I am supposed to go through Houston (east to west route) or through South Africa (west to east route) ... the difference is only about $30,000.

I have been told to prepare my lists of things I am shipping and putting in storage, but haven't been told what my housing arrangements will be.

I have been told to work the school enrollment for Chely and Thasya, but I don't know where in the city of 20 million we will live.

.... and yet, after all this ... I will be expected to show up (a) on time, (b) fully complying with all policies, (c) ready to begin work on day-1, and (d) smiling and productive.

And, oh yeah, I will probably need to buy two cars when I get there, but nobody will tell me if I am entitled to company assistance on one or two .....

.... urgh .....

... life goes on ... TGIF !!!!
