I think that I may have got to the root of why I can't get a job ( Read more... )

Okay, since it's been a while since my last post I thought I'd post an update on how things are going, even though I doubt that anyone reads this thing or actually gives a crap if they did ( Read more... )

Having just realised that it's been ten months since my last post I thought that I may as well  bring whoever actually reads this up to date. In January I was unemployed, volunteering, hadn't managed to finish writing anything and was mildly nuts.

I'll do the update first. First off, after years of suffering the indignity of unemployment, I've finally managed to get a job. Admittedly it's just casual and there's every chance of me going months without any work, but now that I'm employed on paper I'm hoping that the bloody annoying employment paradox (ie it's easier to get a job if you havea ( Read more... )
