Monday, August 14, 2006 - Back Again

I’ve now been out of work for 5 months and the market has really slowed down for summer holidays. I’ve only got a couple of irons in the fire and chasing them up is a painful collection of left messages and unreturned calls. I need to do something different. But what?

I have decided that part of the do-different is to be a creator. Not a divine creator, you understand, just basic mundane run-of-the-mill creation. That’s one of the things that I miss about being in work. Even an email or spreadsheet is an act of creation. It says that I count, I can do something that no one else can/will.

This blog is part of that creation process and while its resurrection reflects badly on the state of the job market it reflects well on my future sanity.

Signing On:

Once every two weeks we depress ourselves still further by going to sign on. This morning was such a morning. But at least the sun was shining as we walked out of the job centre.
