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

Signed on at the Job Centre today, so I'll once again be claiming Jobseeker's Allowance. (pacifying my parents, who are moaning at me for freeloading - don't suppose I can blame them really).

Hopefully not for long... I found a "pin monkey" vacancy ("Full-Time Technician") at the local bowling alley in the job paper, so I phoned up for an application form. Should be fun

I made a cup of with a percolator today. It's a thing made of metal that you put on the stove. You put water in the bottom part, put a basket on top of it that contains the coffee, and screw the actual coffee jug onto the top. There's a tube leading up into the jug - when the water boils, it passes through the coffee and bubbles up the tube, then flows down the outside to collect in the pot. It's great for making small amounts of coffee because you don't need to change the filter every time.

Yesterday I downloaded SETI@home. I have it running continuously. Just wanted to do my bit in the search for ET

Percolator+++!

I have a one-espresso mini one of those... excellent for quick coffees (faster than instant!)

I thought you were off to uni this year... so what's all this Jobseeker stuff?

I'm not at college any more, see. I'm trying to earn some money, some of which I will give my parents and some I'll put in an ISA, with a bit left over to spend (especially to pay for driving lessons and UO). What I've earned so far I spent on this computer, but I've been out of work for about six weeks now.

Well, as a final year student I can tell you money doesn't go very far... especially if you're getting married like I am.

Hohoho. I gave up working for McD's after my first term at uni and now I'm poor poor poor. Need a decent job now, after I graduate.
