    It just happened so fast! It's hard to believe. Ian was grown up and fought me since he was 14 years old. Travis just seems so much younger than Ian was when he graduated. It's hard to explain.

    Good morning Lucy and Wally. I had two promissing phone calls from last night on the job front, so I am in a good mood. one of them was for working for the NHS, so go private before it's too late

    I hope the NHS thing was as a contractor? Public Sector salaries are more bad than a deep faecal pool filled to the brim.

    The public sector adverts in Computer Weekly are fun....

    for example...

    Essential 5yrs commercial C++, COM, JAVA, Visual Basic, Oracle, Delphi, SQL Server, Access, ADO, HTML, DHTML, XML, JavaScript, ATL, VBScript, Crystal Reports

    Salary 18-22k dep on exp. (pay award pending)

    FYI 35k is v.upper sen. mgmt in (un)Civil Service Speak...chances are you'll spend more time in meetings than actually doing any work...

    he said the job was 50% coding, 25% project leading. 25% analysis. it sounds almost too good to be true as it's the kind of job I would like to get into to start furthering my career, I.E. not just being a grunt

    The tournament wouldn't have benefitted from the collective hara kiri of the Jap squad after certain defeat so we've let them equalise.

    If they eventually do commit hara kiri, we won't be responsible.

    Besides, is the Man U private jet already under way ?

    We can't even access sports sites on our internet connection

    also received this from HR yesterday:

    "Just a reminder that the usual "smart casual" dress code applies for tomorrow's dress down day - and this does not include wearing football kits !!"

    so, I'm wearing a dress instead - much more acceptable

    Yeah, things are starting to look up, I'm getting about 5 phone calls a week now from varios agents, got my cv posted on jobserve, totaljobs, monster and a few others. All of them are comming back with the "Possible" roles they have for me, just nothing set in stone yet. feeling a little more optimistic now
