Job seeking

I am starting to get worried now.
Every job that I apply for is like hitting a brick wall. Many of them have already been filled, or want someone with typing qualifications or office experience or something.
Gaaaaah.
This isn’t going well.

Talk troubles

For those of you who have spoken to me on the phone or who know me in real life, you’ll know that I have a difficult-to-understand voice. For those of you who don’t know this, let me explain.
My voice is accent-less mainly, but with tones and rhythms of the Welsh accent (from Cardiff and the [...]

Reply

I got a response from Durham.
“Dear Amy
You would stand a better chance – but I would not advise turning down offers from other universities in order to re-apply.
Yours
Andy Hamilton”
Looks like I’m going to York then. I said when I wrote to them that unless I got a definite “Yes” from them, I wasn’t going to [...]

Happyness

My stomach has gone competely back to normal, thank you for wondering

I had a meeting today.
My round the world trip is booked.

This guy’s comics recently, especially those about Sarah Palin and those who support her, have been so, so funny and on the mark.
So, ladies and gentleman, I am announcing my new web-crush. Tatsuya Ishida, author of Sinfest.

Backwards

I heard this quote from Skins absoloutely ages ago. Something that’s happened today reminded me of it.
“Sometimes I think I was born backwards… you know, come out of my mum the wrong way. I hear words go past me backwards. The people I should love, I hate, and the people I hate…”
I’ll stop being whiny [...]
