oh, sweetie, you have way too much going on. The beehive thing sounds just awful and so very sad. I glad, though that you did receive an email from the CA company, that's good anyway. After following you for as long as I have, I know things will work out, maybe not just as you want, but close. Just stay clam and level headed and you'll know what to do.

I really don't know what to do with these flights. If I get so far as being invited to come interview with them, should I still plan on returning here after or should I officially quit this job (well I think I'd have to do so anyway, taking this many absences in quick succession) and move back?? And if I do just cut and run, coming so soon after returning from Africa, I'll have no time to do all the touristy things here that I was goign to do before returning to the states!

But yeah I got an email from them AND an email from one of the people I used as a reference sayign they had called them (:

If you are that close to the end of your Visa, book the flight as late/close to interview time as possible and count on "not returning" after the interview.

Eh, Australian visa would run out at the end of August, employment-wise would term me out at this job at the beginning of June, and the interviews are first two weeks of may, so they're still three months away from the actual end of the visa...

If the job ends the beginning of June, the first two weeks of May is very close. Unless the boss can get you an extension to work there until the visa runs out in August, it is not worth the $$ cost of returning there after the interview.

This is a good thing, they're investing time in you. And after you've told them about Africa, right?

As for the rest of it, I'm so confused. I hope you've changed the LA flight, I would imagine to when you'll be done in Africa and, I would imagine, to bring you back to the states for, hopefully, a an interview in early May. Am I getting this correct?

Yeah I can see how the way I explained that could be confusing. I have a flight to LA that I need to cancel in just four days, and a flight to Africa which I'm going to be on on the 1st of April ( ... )
