unemployed in the summertime

ok, so i think my glorious summertime unemployment is coming to an end. obviously, it is almost september in the northern hemisphere so we are starting to tilt away from the sun but also i have a job interview next week. i have been sending out my cv (it is what we call resumés in britain) and job applications all summer but i keep forgetting to include money so the recruitment people have just been throwing them away.

anyway, i have an interview but i do not know what the job is. i just went through the newspaper and applied for everything that i was qualified to do and then on tuesday i got an email inviting me to come and talk to some people. i hadn't understood the newspaper advert and they have not given me any more details so i think i am just going to have to go and wing it. i think that if i can survive for the first ten minutes without saying something stupid then i can maybe figure out what is going on and then say something smart and get a new job and become a working drone again.

unfortunately, it all means that i have had to get rid of my unemployment hair and unemployment beard and i should probably try to get rid of the unemployment smell too. the job is probably not for a professional hobo impersonator so that stuff is probably not too good for impressing job strangers.

ok, so i will probably take recyclebot with me for good luck. things have been pretty good since i found him and if the interview is going badly i can send him off to the photocopier to steal some drawing paper for me. of course, if the interview goes well and i get the job then i can steal all the paper i need in the future. either way it is a guaranteed victory.

paul.
