THE GLIMMER OF HOPE ENTRY
Well, went to Wales for an interview Monday afternoon, agency rang Monday morning: 'They have to postpone till Thursday morning'. Fine. Home cooking for three days, no other interviews planned.
Agencies ring. Interviews are arranged for tomorrow (Friday) morning and Monday afternoon...
Suddenly remember, promised to visit a friend last weekend who is now expecting me this weekend and the whole thing with me standing her up was pointless because the original interviewers have changed my interview. Fuck. E-mail agency asking them to move interview a little further into week. Will be going to see friend regardless of response. Am suspicious of the organisation which has another bland name like Enterprise Business Solutions... sound like the kind of fuckers who inadvertantly start the apocalypse by inventing an uberpowerful AI which turns machine against human in a final war... or maybe I've just seen The Terminator too many times. Whatever. They want me to do a technical test which is more craziness because the technical tests I have sat have in no way related to the actual process of developing successful software. It's like I sat a bunch of exams to get a piece of paper to say I knew stuff and it's not good enough for these people (which I am perfectly willing to admit it isn't, no wonder Computer Science graduates think that the job market is tough the degree is about as useful as bog roll).
Anyway, company tomorrow looks better. Their websites lists achievements by how useful they were to the client and what the functionality of the project was
Now that's my kind of thinking.
In case you were interested I have written a novel which can be downloaded from my website (clicky!). I'd love it if you checked it out. Those of you who've been leaving me kind messages particularly Mr. Hermes, Mr. Silverwolf and Mr. Suicidebomb get manly hugs, thanks for your continued interest!
In case any one's thinking that because Wales is beautiful and has clean air, beautiful countryside, clear roads, good nightlife and naturally soft water it would be a good place to live I would have to say... only if you regard working as a manager in Dixons as the high point of your working life.
I went to the Job Centre in Swansea and also to a number of recruitment agencies. When I said web designer to them I might as well have been talking Swahili. There are no jobs. The Job Centre itself has had to lay off many staff because they haven't got the workload coming in from employers to justify having the staff there.
It's beautiful... but it sucks...

Matty has just chased some dicks from the park and is a ......
Very well written. I really care about the characters and love all the boy/girl stuff, which I think you do really well. I like that it has got a bit more raunchy and I like the choice of scenes to bring out the story.
I like Kirsty too, and her closer than friends friendship with Matty.
As I go further there is less to comment on concerning style ect. Its just that encounter I`ve aready mentioned, and I think a comment from one of the characters about how there aren`t supposed to be any left in England would sufice.
So congrats and I`ll let you know more when I`ve finished.
