Over the past six months I have come to the conclusion that there are certain things a man needs if he is to achieve a modicum of contentedness. These are, in no particular order, a good woman, a well-stocked liquor cabinet and a job title that makes it sounds as if he has enormous genitalia. From January my official job title will be ‘Business

Glad to hear you are on your way out of hell Nottingham. Nottingham also has other commonalities with Baghdad, the fashion for robes and beards for example...and taxi drivers.
I look back on my time in snottingham and shudder, belive me, moving to pretty much anywhere will make you feel a whole lot better.

Now if i could just get myself that high paying graduate job...but then again my father never gave me any job beyond manual labour whilst he chain smoked my inheritance away...

Haven't quite escaped it yet, still going to be back here every weekend. By april i'll be free of the place for good. Final verdict, its on the up and its a great place to get pissed in, but its really only been a halfway house on the way to somewhere else. I can think of a lot worse places, Hull for instance.

Recruitment agencies are hellish! Just after graduating I did some temping for an engineering company, who it turned out had hired me because they'd seen I had a French degree. Their parent company was French, and they wanted an interpreter on the cheap (having seen that the local uni charged £90 an hour). After sitting through one meeting and having to translate terms that meant little to me in English, let alone French, I made sure that I scheduled my days off to coincide with future visits from the boys in Bordeaux!

This is the last time i'll ever work through an evil agency hopefully. That is, unless fortune farts in my face.

Work is only rewarding if you are important enough to have your own business cards.

I'll have them when my next job starts, right now I am a Temp and thus I only just have enough status to get my own coffee mug.

Well done on the hefty salary graduate job. Excited about moving to London?

[humphrey_clarke]

I'm excited about not having to live in self inflicted poverty anymore, plus the south east seems to be where its at these days.

I feel very redundant continually posting that your updates are hilarious, but I think praise for your amazingly worthwhile journal is certainly deserved.

Cheers, i'll try and get around to updating it more often
