One Step Beyond
Hey Everyone, I'm freaking out just a little right now. Everything seems to be running out at once, and I have to pay my rent soon as well. Add to which, my jobcentre claim is still being processed. The good news is that next week I have an interview to get a National Insurance Number, so that when I do get another job I won't be scythed so badly by the tax department. Though that does probably mean that I will have to learn how to do a Tax Return. Geez, had to happen sometime. I have finally pimped up my myspace site, though I will be tweaking it a bit more.
I went to a show at the Underworld last night with the express purpose of taking notes so that I could write a review of the bands and send it to an Australian HC magazine.
I wrote the review this afternoon, in between lifting barbells. I'm going to print it out, mark it up and then send it off tomorrow.
Did I mention that I put in my CV and a cover letter at the Video shop nearby?
I do despair of finding employment in a shop sometimes. It seems that the fact that I speak fluent English but I don't have any formal Retail Experience makes me a strange combination of overqualified and underqualified.
My boiler is leaking like a sieve that has been attacked with a HK SMG. I messaged my landlady about it on Tuesday, and she got back to me today. She's going to organise a plumber or something next week, but it might take as long as next Friday.
Fortunately it will probably keep til them. In medical terms, the condition of my boiler is Serious but Stable. Hopefully it won't go all Doctor House on us.
I had a hammer away at the Typing Tutor software, and strangely enough, it already seems to be having a pretty good effect on my typing. I was going between 50 and 70 WPM. As much as the idea is a betrayal of everything I've been trying to do for the last three months, if I can get my typing speed up to 90 WPM I might go into one of my agencies, get my typing skills retested and see if I can swing a £8-9/hour data entry job.
Although I can feel myself getting fatter just thinking about it.
This machine is running really slowly. I might logout and login again on a different one.
Over and out
(for the time being)
