Workshy Flop

New year - new job?

Someone not a million miles from this keyboard has had an employment malfunction- and is currently under the tender care of Job Centre Plus.  And if I have the nerve, I'll keep you posted on how it's going, or not.

I may have to try something a bit 'left field', 'off-the-wall', or just a bit strange, two examples;


  • Have a look at this chap in Holland:

Niek Gooren lying around at home

Anyway - it worked for him!

  • This chap has an interesting approach to work - a new job every week! :

And now- How's 2014 so far, for you?

I'm thinking about introducing an I factor, to measure this years' progress- the I meaning IRRITATION factor. I expect this I-factor could get confused with I pods, I pads or I give up! So I think I will need to improve on this.
Anyway, with an I factor of about I/f 5, we've had our first visit from British Gas this year, as our boiler sprung a leak on New Year's Day. Waiting on subsequent visit- ordering part, etc.

I shouldn't moan too much though, because I'm well aware that other people are having a very bad time at the moment -  as in:

Anyway, good news- The supermarkets have already got some Easter chocolates on sale. Yes, true - I've seen them!  So, can't be long before Halloween 'goodies' go on sale, can it?





Another bit of good news - Sherlock is back on the telly.



A prize of two Totallyimaginaryvirtualtwobitcoins to the first one to work that out!
