Light at the end of the tunnel

Having possibly secured a part time job, things may be looking up slightly, however from my experience of the last 6 months I am not going to get my hopes up. The part time job will not only mean that Im going to have a bit more expendable income, but also will break up the long and boring days.

For those of you who ever been in a similar situation to myself will know that the boredom of having nothing to do during the days are depressing and at times can drive you a bit crazy. There are only so many hours a day that you can look and apply for jobs until your mind ends up like a mixing bowl of applications, covering letters and CV's. If like me, you live out in the country you are limited to what you can do, especially if you dont have a car, and with he weather like it has been, your home starts to feel all to prison like. But of course there is all ways the day time TV to give you your daily feed of regurgitated dregs of the media world. You start finding yourself watching reruns of FRIENDS and Star Trek (both of which I have a bit of a guilty pleasure for) knowing all the jokes and the story line. As much as people think it is great not working, when you have nothing to do it is fucking boring!

However, now that I may have a part time job it also means I can sign off the Jobseekers. The joy of going to the jobcentre every two weeks can be a depressing experience. I stand in line with the rest of the unemployed waiting for my name to be called out so I can pick up that government check which Mr Brown so kindly gives out to those of us not able to find work. Every time I get asked the same question, 'has there been any change in your circumstances?', Well no of course there hasnt been or else I would be fucking sat here in front of you! You would think with two degrees under my belt and now some work experience it would be easier finding work, obviously not.

Six months out of work and I reckon Im due a bit of good luck, as one of my mates said, its all about positive thinking, who knows we'll see.
