Bon Voyage 2009!!
I didn’t really like 2009- I think it was about the crappiest kind of year I could have without anything bad actually happening. Not much of a complaint, I know, but I will still be glad to see the end of 2009 and highly welcome 2010!
Hope everyone else has had a better 2009, and may we all have a fucking awesome 2010. :-)

Interesting things about tumblr

If you include a question mark a new option to let people “answer” appears. Huh. Did you know that?
Yay?
Just got a bite on one of my applications. I would be more excited, but it’s one of the ones that makes me go “Ugh, if I have to”.
It’s temp to perm and in supporting a corporate IT team, they’ll want at least a year’s commitment. These are the bad points.
Plus the recruiter told me that it’s $200 a day, including super… what does that come to? ...
“Director of First Impressions”
– Job title for an advert looking for a receptionist. Wankers.
I’m sitting on a beach, thinking.y shoes filled with sand about three steps in. I didn’t mind, it made me smile and it felt so good to take them off… Letting the sand run through my toes.
The wind coming off the water is cold but exhilirating. Just down the beach some is choreographing two kites in an intricate and wild dance. They’re like two wild birds, dancing around...
I'm not a salmon
Two of the jobs that I applied for this morning, which were only listed after 5pm yesterday evening, have already been removed from Seek.
They keep saying on the news that there is record jobs growth, but I think it must just be that they’re re-advertising all the positions they retrenched people from a few months ago, and everyone plus me is competing to get them.
Jesus Christ but I feel...
