h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

That's the sound of various different schemes and projects hitting a brick wall.

I seem to be running into a lot of obstacles of late when I try to do things. And some of them have me stumped. So far, anyway, but I'll think of something.

The eternal jobhunt still isn't getting anywhere, and it might become a bit more urgent some time over the coming year, if my instincts about the current job are anywhere close to the mark. But what happens, happens. I'm not really fussed. I've got a funny feeling that something will turn up, as Mr Micawber would say. Not that he's necessarily a great role model...

My feet wouldn't warm up today at all. Winter must have decided to come. We're supposed to be in for a belter of a Winter, from what I've heard. Maybe I'll lasso a swallow if there are any left and let it tow me somewhere warm and less annoying.

It has got very cold very quickly!

There's bound to be a bit of jostling and shuffling on the jobs front if the various relocation plans go ahead, so there may be opportunities ahead. That's what I'm telling myself anyway!

Here did you get your application in for the big forrin job?

Nah, missed the deadline. To be honest, I'd have struggled giving evidence on some of the criteria, and that's before even considering the logistics!

And I won't be moving to Ballykelly either

with the job hunt.

Cheers Paul. I'm not actually out of work at the minute, I have a job - but I just pretty much have one eye on the job ads to see of anything interesting pops up.

Too bad about Ballykelly Bea! It probably wouldn't have been very exciting for you anyway by the sound of it.
