Unemployment

It's an arse, isn't it?

It's probably the worst time ever for me not to have a job. I shall be moving into my own place soon and it's a bit tricky to do without having employment!

I've been looking lots and lots. I probably have about 10 or 11 applications out there at the moment, but the trouble is, you have to wait a couple of weeks to hear anything back and I need something NOW. This is where my agency are supposed to come in. Trouble is, they aren't getting any work in, or if they are, they're not giving it me. I've told them I'll do anything, even just part-time for a while, as long as I'm working and getting some money in, I don't care!

Since I've had all this time on my hands, I've been thinking what I'd like to with my life, career wise. I still don't have a flipping clue. It's got me thinking about stuff...maybe I should have done Radio Production instead of coming to Derby, like I originally intendent. Or maybe I should have actually carried on with some sort of writing this year. And what would have happened if I'd been bothered to finish that application form for that traineeship with the BBC? It's too late to wonder "what if" I suppose.

If worst comes to the worst, I'll have to sign on for a bit. It's not so bad, I've done it before. I guess I'll need housing benefit this time though!

It should be an interesting couple of weeks. Keep your fingers crossed for me, eh?
