June.

Having had a chat with Saucy McT earlier this evening I suddenly realised that is was that super special time of year, having obviously not noticed before that June has rolled around again. This may not be significant to some, but this time last year was the arrival of all the joyous plan's our collective had made for our last month together at uni. This list was about 5 miles long, and we didn't do much of it (sunbathing on top of Pendle Bar taking massive priority).

This has made me think, randomly, about all the half baked plans that I've had through the years, and how I'd rather like to do them. Also, I'll never have another June like those Junes of Uni, which is a shame, but the direction that my life is slowly starting to take does not make this a thing of regret, but more create a soft feeling of Nostalgia. With a capital N, obviously.

I will always be grateful however, for those little traditions my crew (not just the Uni ones, but Homeboys too) and I keep going, Eurovision Parties, Monday Night Specials, Roses, Showgirls Quotes and Fashion Faux Pas.

I suppose after the events of this weekend, and reflecting on other events that are reaching their one year anniversaries, I just need to tell the my world how much I love it, and that I wouldn't change it for well, the world.

P.S. How pissed off was that dancing guy on BGT? SOUR GRAPES MUCH?!

Happy Birthday!

Today I am wishing a very Happy Birthday to my Pops, who would have been 60 today. To me it's just another day, but to Mother Wilson it's worth celebrating, so celebrate we did.

On a lighter note, I have not yet heard from Profero (annoying) would have very much at least liked my application to be acknowledged. Or am I just being a bit impatient? Probably. Ah well. I am distracting myself with these delightful patterned jeans from Topshop.com.

Aren't they delightful? Definitely a pay day purchase!

The hunt hits interesting heights.

Hello.

I found an excellent job I wanted at a Digital Marketing Agency called Profero. I made a video cover letter, partly for a change of pace and partly for my own amusement. If I get the job I shall post it on here. If I don't I shall have some kind of tantrum.

Interestingly I've been offered a chance to move diagonally (to the side and slightly up) from Dorothy Perkins to Topman. Full time. A tempting offer indeed. If for no other reason than the fact that it is full time. Approx 33 hours a week more than I'm contract now at DP. However what do I do if I accept this and then (hopefully) get the job with Profero. Do I just let them down? I'm not sure I have it in me to do that, yet at the same time I think that is probably what holds me there in the first place.

Hopefully I will hear from Profero either way, and this will make the decision for me.

Day Three, Day Two spent Crocheting.

Well, since I spent all day yesterday filling in my application for the Grad Scheme at Hotwire, I didn't actually manage to post. I then played a lot of The Sims 2 and made two squares for my quilt. Score.

Today however, I decided that it really was absolutely time to give up retail (for reasons I shall divulge when I've left) and enter the wonderful world of TEMPING. So I signed up here;

www.office-angels.com

and applied for as many temporary data entry/administration/receptionist jobs as I could. That being 4. I plan to go there in person on Wednesday and have some serious chat.

On a plus side, I bought some new trousers today. They made me happy.

This would be a longer post, but I'm feeling rather stroppy, and it's not this poor blog's fault, it's Dorothy Freakin' Perkins.

The Official Recorded Job Hunt: Day One

So after about five minutes thought, I am going to use this blog to apply for one job everyday until I get one. I am very sick of Dorothy Perkins, having worked there since I was 16 and all. So, rather than using a Sandwich Board and walking around London with my quals written on it I am simply going to record: ONE GRADUATES STRUGGLE TO ENTER THE WORLD OF EMPLOYMENT. It sounds like a tagline for a movie. Excellent. I hope the movie is called FAIL.

So... Day ONE!

Today I have a grotty cold, and spent the afternoon with my Mother watching 'Little Women' and eating KitKat Chunkys. Quite a yum way to spend a Saturday off. So today I applied for my first job of my recorded job hunt. I googled 'Random Jobs', hitting I'm feeling lucky and this is what came up. Suprisingly it's actually quite relevant, so I took this as a sign from above that I should absolutely definitely apply for it. So off I went.

I wrote a VERY long cover letter about how fabulous I am and how fabulous Random House is and how together we could be very fabulous. Let's hope they agree!

Now, it is almost time for Take Me Out, my current favourite bit of Saturday night veiwing, so that's enough of the job hunt today

Wow

So I set up a new Blog. I haven't really decided what it's about yet or anything. Could it be my daily struggle at Dorothy Perkins, could it be my alternative daily struggle of apply-for-a-real-job-a-day? Or both. It might mostly just be about what I've seen in the New In section of Topshop.com.

However, for now, it's about the fact I have a cold and my nose is really sore.

Peace Out
