Look at that, I start a job on Monday.
And have found a place to move to on Sept 1st.
It does take a while to get settled, doesn't it?

Did I say that it can't get very much worse?
Status: still un-employed
Moral radar: not very optimistic
I have worked a few weeks though a temp agency- which is how I was able to afford to pay my rent for this month. I have been looking for permanent full-time work, it just happens that most of what is on offer are low paying jobs or work in a call centre. I have done the call centre thing a few times. I can handle about 3 or 4 months of it before resigning. I would rather not re-live this kind of work experience.. and re-living is what you do, call after call, after call!
What are the options? I've gotten a few interviews, one job I know I didn't get and another I should find out Tuesday, as Monday's a bank holiday. The salary is OK but still a bit less that what I would like to have.
If I don't hear anything by Tuesday afternoon, I will contact the temp agencies to tell them that I am able to commit to whatever one week, one month or longer contract that they can offer.
Hope it's not reception work, I really hate reception work. That seems to be all that is available at times.
Oh and the shared house I'm living in is currently on sale and we are all being evicted on October 1st. It would be best if I can try to leave for September 1st as sometimes sales can go quickly..
One must keep in mind the fact that I have less than a months rent in my account and not a penny to put towards deposit- not happening is it?
I'm not going to say that things can't get much worse because they probably will. Let's keep things in perspective, I've got a good stock of food at the moment and I have a couple weeks before I have to worry about generating more rent money.
And there's always the dead in a ditch scenario- so by default, things aren't that bad.
