Yeah, it's been about 2 months since i did my last blog. I still don't have a new job and i lose this job in less than 2 weeks. And yes, i have been looking. I've applied to several places. Especially technology related places, like CarphoneWarehouse and Comet and stuff like that. So far no-one has accepted me. One company wanted me to go to an interview, but after a bit of research i discovered it's a scam company. Don't ever work for Skyline Marketing Ltd.
On the 26th April, i do get some redundancy and lieu of notice pay. This should come to about £2000 (on top of my £600 or so normal pay), but i want to save as much of it as i can. Looks like i'll have to start going to the crappy jobcentre. From what one of my Facebook friends say though, they're a load of crap. Which i believe. Let's face it, they are owned by the government. And we all know what governments are like.
I'm typing this blog up at work. I probably shouldn't be. If Omar knew (the IT man), he wouldn't be happy. I don't even know if he still works here though. We're allowed to look for jobs though, obviously. Although some sites are blocked, including a few i've needed, like when i tried to look for jobs at Codemasters or Aston University. I understand gaming being blocked but education is also blocked. Why would they block education? "We don't want you learning things, do we". Stupid.
On another subject, the computer i've been building has a slight problem. I've installed that Windows on too many computers, and now they've blocked me from using that CD key thing. Now i need a new one, or i'll keep getting an error message, it'll say the Windows version number in the bottom right corner, and it'll blank the background. The error more than anything is annoying, but i suppose i'll have to tolerate it. If anyone has a spare Windows 7 Home Premium CD key, feel free to let me know
First world problems, eh? Other than that, it runs good except the mid range graphics card and the slow main hard drive. But i do want a better graphics card. It can't even run Star Trek Online at maximum graphics settings properly. It's got some nice effects but nothing that should be too hard on the graphics card. Ah well, i'll get a better one soon enough.
That's all for today. Just wanted top update you all on the situation. If you care. Probably not. I'm surprised i get as many views as i do. I'm at exactly 7400 views right now. Not bad. Anyway, toodle pips old chap
