Well with my Looking for Normal project on a Hiatus at the moment I thought I'd start another page to share with the WWW my insights with the world, and what's going on with my other stuff....
Well its 12.30 on a Tuesday morning, and I'm aware I have the bi-weekly joy of visiting the jobcentre tomorrow morning. Its an interesting experience actually; I must confess when I first became unemployed I thought I'd be visiting an open audition for Jeremy Kyle- and my earliest visits seemed to reinforce that view. The first time some bloke was thrown out by security, the next another guy was ranting because they didn't give him any money; he hadn't cottoned on the concept that in order to get Jobseekers you actually have to be looking for work...
But as time has passed the visits have become more mundane, and what I am actually seeing are a lot of people like me: ordinary hard working people that are victims of the Labour Government's economic mismanagement. I'm not going to use this post to rant about Messrs Brown, Darling and co- hell I don't need to because the reality is there for all to see at the Jobcentre.
Its the tedium that is the killer. It is hard to find stuff to fill the day. Yes there is the daily routine of job hunting and talking to recruiters etc, but after that you find yourself trying to kill time. I have fallen into the vegging trap on a few occasions- just sitting in front of the telly, flipping through the channels; but fortunately something has come along to pull me out of it. With Normal prepped, I've turned my attention to a couple of other projections; the on going Lapriniya thing (which is once again in development hell) and the under wraps EA plan for 2011...
Right well its now almost 1.00 so its time to nest...
