It's just crazy how quickly they're flying past. I mean it's well into May now and I've still not found a job. It'll be June soon, about a year after I finished uni ( Read more... )

Last Saturday night out was pretty good I guess, met up with Steven, Tim and Cerys and went first for a couple of pints at Wetherspoons, then on to Med Bar, then Destiny, Sands and then finally Vision, where I met up with Dave. Somewhat amusingly, some girl came up to me while we were in Destiny and asked if I was gay "because her friend liked me ( Read more... )

OK am very happy today, mainly due to the fact Bristol Rovers have just secured a play-off place after a win away to Hartlepool (who were as good as top of the league!)!! I thought we were down and out at half-time, being 1-0 down and with Stockport being several goals up. But listening to the game on the radio it was an amazing performance by ( Read more... )

It's been a pretty good day - if only for good news on my job hunting. Rung up about a research associate job based in Cambridgeshire, and spoke to a recruitment agent who was very positive on the phone. I have since sent my CV and spoken by email to her and apparently she thinks I would be well suited to the role. It's the most positive news I've ( Read more... )

I didn't get much sleep last night - just didn't drop off very easily - so I've been feeling pretty tired and run down today. However, I still managed to apply for three biology related jobs, which is pretty good going for me. Plus I've still got three NHS jobs to apply for before their deadlines come along ( Read more... )

Had a couple of good days and a couple of not so great days, so they've kinda cancelled each other out since I posted last.

Had a really productive day on Wednesday, got my hair cut first thing, plus just got everything else done that I wanted to do. Then in the evening Dave and I went to the Odeon to watch the new Anthony Hopkins film Fracture. It ( Read more... )

It's amazing how quick days just fly by in the week, it's pretty much Tuesday gone now and it just doesn't seem like it should be Wednesday tomorrow ( Read more... )

Things have improved a little since I last updated I guess, mainly just because I've been able to take some time out from things, particularly the futility of job searching. Speaking of which, there's been a few opportunities come up - including a vacancy for a trainee embryologist again, this time in Bath - so it's a case of apply and wait to see ( Read more... )

Well, the past couple of weeks have been a bit crap if I'm honest. Well, perhaps not all that bad, but the whole job-searching thing is getting really demoralising now. Since I never heard back from Air Traffic Control, and my GCHQ application having been cast aside, I've been applying for a couple of jobs per week but I've not heard back from any ( Read more... )

Added a couple of goals to my
43things which I've been working on the past couple of weeks. Firstly, I've decided I really need to lose weight, quite crucial to do so as to get into shape again. I've always said it is easy to lose weight if you want to, so it was time I put my money where my mouth was and went for it. So far I've lost around 3/4 of ( Read more... )
