Recent events have caused me to throw myself at the mercy of employers and with cap in hand, spit and polish on my CV and hope in my heart. Last week, I applied for about 10 positions and one of them was quite local. I liked the sound of it and visualised myself doing the journey to work. I spoke to the lady at the agency dealing with my application and felt that I had made a good impression with my experience and general keeness. That was on Tuesday…and yesterday afternoon, I received an email saying I had been unsucessful. When I pressed them further, I was told that the position had been given to a temp who had been working there. Well why fricking advertise the job as being available? Are you doing this just to waste my time and give me false hope? My inherent opinion that all job agencies are useless remains unabated. Another rejection from another agency appeared in my inbox not long after. It was a great end to a particularly dismal Friday.
But heck, I am not going to be put off by a set-back. I have other things going for me like my terrible music. And yes, I have finally managed to pull my finger out of my rear and finish “God Pays Debts Without Money…”. I spent most of the today pulling together the first copies and it is all registered wth CDBABY. All I’ve got to do now is send them off to America on Monday. To say I am proud is an understatement as I am particularly pleased with how it all turned out. Now I am at a loss with what to do with myself musically speaking.

Yup, both “Without Words” and “Sows’ Ears” have sold out so I have to send some more stock out too. So it is going to be a very expensive day at the Post Office on Monday!
