C:> RUN blog.exe

How would you close your currently open document?

Bad news...when I went to buy Red Alert it had been sold. Within the 3 hours that i saw it and went to buy it, someone came along and bought it. Who the hell want to play Red Alert these days anyway?

More bad news: I am gonna have to take a hiatus from the blog...at least a week. Maybe longer, but for now, just a week. Y'see I'm going for a work trial. at Kustom PCs. *cue Ode to Joy*

Frankly, I'm a bit excited. And slightly nervous. Its working in the software repair area, i.e. someone brings their machine in, I'd scan for virus & spyware. Its just like going to CJ & Simons. The software is where it all started for me. I only got into hardware out of necessity. I can do software.

But it the unknow aspect of it that scares me. On the other hand, theres really very little to fear. Theres only a few new people to meet, as I know most of them already. So thats good. New people scare me, y'see.

So, I start tomorrow, 9am and am evaluated on Thursday. I just have to go see my Job Centre Lady(tm) so that if I'm not at JHP, I'm not signed off. Because, if it doesn't work out at Kustom, then I have to wait 6 months before I can claim again. If the Job Centre insist on making things too complicated, I guess I have litle choice but to just sign off and take my chances. Opertunities to work at Kustom do not come along very often.

P.S. note to self: shave when you get in. Maybe a shower too.

You think i should continue to blog, just a sort of "ECDLWaster...on holday" sorta thing? yea, I could prob do that. Else i could do it when i get in at night, (9-5:15) so i'd type up about 5:30-6pm...

We'll see what happens i guess...

PS i got the job centre bit sorted out, its all legit. if it falls through and i dont get the job, i can sign back on straight away(or near enuff).

Holy fucking Mother of Christ thats excellent Essay!
Well done! Yeah you should definetly continue to blog I think its thereputic for you, knowing the actual world that you view online everyday is affected by you and your interaction with it(Stops to ponder). You'd better start honing that knowledge on the old Windows OS.
Excellent Ess, what a good opportunity. To celebrate, I'm going to get that comic strip up. That really is excellent though. Excellent.
