| Oh my...it doesn't rain but it pours. Remember I said I was going to do some volunteering work? Well the organisation that collates and effectively administrates the volunteering sector, theWolverhampton Volunteering Bureau, has just shut down due to lack of government funding. Fan-tas-tic.
Regardless, I'll trudge on through the mire of collapsing banks, company bankruptcies, inflation and the credit crunch looking for that opportunity that's going to see me through. I'm hoping to start a City and Guilds 9297 Certificate in Adult Learner Support (Literacy) in the near future and with the adult training sector booming at the moment (especially those funded by the Jobcentre) this could be my meal ticket.
So there, a glimmer of light in an otherwise stormy world.

| Yay! I woke up this morning and found that the Large Hadron Collider hadn't opened a black hole and annihilated the planet. It would have been rather unfortunate if it had.
Still time though, they don't actually start colliding particles for another few weeks...
Tis funny though. The hysteria I mean. It isn't as though this is the only particle accelerator on the planet.

| Well, I still don't have a job. At a guess, I've probably sent over 1500 applications over the past couple of years and haven't any luck with a single one.
So, I'm going to apply for some volunteering work and see what happens. Firstly because I hate sitting around doing nothing - it drives me potty and makes me an intensely boring person, and secondly because if an employer out there realises I'm working hard for nothing, maybe they'll stop being an arse and actually give me a job.
If I'd known in 2005 what I know now, I'd have taken that job in Cambridge as a copywriter. I turned it down because I wanted to come home and thought "Wow, I've never had to turn a job down before. I'll have a job back home in no time!". What a mistake. <slaps head>.
One day, one day this blog will be cheery and funny and represent me much better than it does now.
Until then, I'm going to be grumpy.
Humpf.

2. People use less gas because it's more expensive.
3. Less gas usage means less profit.
4. Go to 1.

| I got letterbox spam from the local Business Link today telling me how they can help me build my own business.
Sounds like a plan. I'd always planned on running my own business one day. I wanted to build some savings first though to show the bank how commited I was. Seeing as that's taking much longer than I anticipated, maybe it's worth while sounding out the Business Link now rather than later before I get roped in to Comrade Brown's помещение труда раба.
For some bizarre reason, the idea of running a newsagents has always appealed. I wonder if there are any up for sale or willing to sell around here.
