GOINGS A-GOING ON

I start a new job tomorrow after a little under two weeks of unemployment. It's nothing fancy but it will fund the frolicals and various adventures. Occupation-wise, I'm never hugely bothered as to what I do. All I really ask for is to be left alone to get on with the work and the people around me. You couldn't do that at my last job because of big-faced jobsworths and their endless desire to make miserable. Hopefully, this job will be better. The place doesn't look like a prison for one thing. It's all open plan and shiney new. They don't except actual money anywhere on the grounds. You have to use a card like in sci-fi comics. Nifty.

Kylie also has a new job. It's actually at one of my old places of work (BARCLAYS!!!) It's not forever however, the girl has a better future in her ideal field. This is just transitional. Barclays almost killed me. She's made of stronger, sterner and cooler stuff.

I have enjoyed being jobless. We both knew it wouldn't be for too long but I have enjoyed the cheap but fun days of walking around, mild shopping and chuckling. We didn't form that band but there is always another time. I'm writing another film that may/may not see the light of your respective homes. Keep your fingers and hooves crossed.
The last one is being tweaked after a year in editing hell.

Kylie is now customising an old jacket of mine with an 'Evil Bunny' patch. She was previously shouting at her Sims while I was writing on the bed (not literally). A 'Tragic Clown' began to bother her and she didn't know how to get rid of the annoying, red-nosed bugger.

Happy Birthday, Blogger Dan! He is the author of one of my favourite blogs and always keeps me up to speed with the latest goings on. Long may his ship sail.

I've become a total 'New Pornographers' junkie. I've had a lot of time to listen to music and they completely rule. I wish I was in a band like that. Neko Case wouldn't let me in and I don't blame her. Her and her band mates have no real use for a triangle and nose flute player.

Regards,

Jobs are fun.

I want to work in a sci-fi world too.

Fingers crossed over here!
I hope the new job is as expected, or better - who knows? I hope they let you work in peace, that's important to me too.
And it's so great that you're writing something new! I wish I had that many ideas :)
Man, now I feel like playing Sims - I once had a girl that was abducted my aliens and she became greenish and totally unsociable - it was so funny!

Neko Case is amazing. Good luck today!

Thanks each and all!

I will have to catch up with all of your blogs as I haven't had that much time. This bothers me because I need my fix of blogger people.

Congrats on the new job!

I regret to inform you that cards are no longer sci-fi, however. Thumb print keys or retinal scans... That's the way to go.

It's pretty decent thus far; nice people, interesting work. It could be a lot worse (and, indeed, it has been)

I do miss my friends from eon. if only they could come and work with me. That would be something sweet.

PLEASE explain to me how to get a job and what is your new job exactly?!

Thank you.

My new job actually has it's problems. It's a decent job but it's miles away and increasingly hard to get to. I suppose we'll have to see how it goes.
