June is my month, it was the month I was born in and it’s a great month because it’s supposed to be summery. I look outside the window and apart from the building they’re demolishing opposite, everything looks pretty, nice. The suns not out – well, at least I can’t see it – but it’s bright and that’s enough for me. Oops I just yawned so maybe it isn’t!
At the moment I’m job hunting. It’s really difficult job hunting while working. I mean I had an interview on Wednesday or something and it was scheduled for the morning so I asked the manager ‘Can I have the morning off?’ he said well as long as you’re sure you have got so and so done by the deadline, you can have it off, something like that. Now he KNOWS I can’t get it done by the deadline because I’ve never done it before, I’m the assistant not the manager. So anyway I had to re-schedule the interview for 6pm that evening which is after work. I was knackered by the time I had to go to the interview and I was practically worn down from a ‘hard days work’ but not as worn as the interviewer. Now she was KNACKERED! She even told me she really didn’t feel like doing the interview and I really felt like saying ’you and me both love’. Anyway the interview went well but I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad interview where I didn’t know what I was talking about anyway. But I’m a realist so I’m well aware that I can still be turned down even if we did speak about Jordan, Christina Aguilera, X-factor, Pop idol and other commercial subjects. It wasn’t even like an interview. Maybe because she was tired, I wonder whether that’s a good or bad thing actually…
I’ve been really lazy with my job hunting though. Whereas everyday I would go home and search on the internet for new roles, I’ve gone home and done some reading or played the Wii. Sonic or Base ball. I really hurt my arm playing baseball actually, I must have pulled something. I just don’t know why I’ve run out of steam. Every time an agency calls me to inform me of a job they feel I would be good for, I also say yea! Put me forward! without really thinking of what the job entails. 9 times of 10 they never get back to me though. I’m sure I’ll find something soon, hopefully the something will be high paid with minimum amount of work...there's no harm in wishful thinking is there? Actually, there is but I wont go into that.

So what do you do? Maybe you should try a job outside of your country for the hell of it.
why did you remove my comment?
HB, I work with magazines, doing all the fun finance stuff. I would consider working abroad although I would prefer a job based in the UK but also includes some form of travel...
Anon (that better not be you Sum!) 'whatever' is not constructive!
Hi - if the lady interviewing you is tired, you might want to consider that a bad sign.
ESPECIALLY if you look at the other employees and they're tired too!
Just my 2 cents.
You don't want to work in a sweat shop that just happens to look like an office.
haha! good point!
