All the talk around the company makes things a little awkward though
Yeah, I know what you mean....folks will have you doing (or planning to do) things that never seriously entered your mind/s. Such is life when people live ordinary and/or mundane lives....if the romantic or adventurous isn't happening for themselves or anyone close to them, they invent it to liven up an otherwise dull existence/lunch break....
....next thing you'll hear is that you're expecting a little 'Nadia'; that one day she'll grow up to snatch first place from the Eastern Europeans & the Ruskies to win 'gold' for Great Britain in the Olympics.
The lesser of two evils? I'd rate both about the same on an anxiety/desirability scale
I thought similarly when I was 16 and my folks were emigrating to Oz from Devon. I was going to run away the night before and live like a feral on Dartmoor (at least until they had rounded Cape Horn), but I still found myself boarding the ship with them the next morning....
37 years later I can look back and say it wasn't a bad thing. Like anywhere else in the world, Oz has some good points and some bad. I've had some good things happen for me here, and then some not so good, but I wouldn't change a thing even if I could. My family is here, my kids and grandkids were born here, so now, even though I'll never forget my English roots/heritage, Australia is home to me now and always will be.
