It has been AGES. Again. In the nearly three months since the last post I've gathered up anger against a number of things including landlords, recruitment agencies, old shitty airplanes, back ache, parents, unemployment and the list goes on.
During the time I finished uni, moved out of my Birmingham house, went to Finland, became a godmother, came back to Birmingham, graduated, went to New York, flew back to Finland and now I'm staying at the boyfriend's parents in Manchester whilst looking for jobs and flats in London and it is really starting to get to me.
I had thought that at least we'd have a flat sorted in two weeks. Needles to say it didn't happen. I don't know why, we just seem to attract loads of scams (perhaps we are to blame for this because we've tried to go for the private landlords as opposed to letting agents) and the viewings that we actually did manage to schedule fell through. Pff.
On the job front I've applied to a few, so far got back from one for which I had an interview/test last week. I'm hoping to hear back from them in the next few days. It is all very frustrating and not only because everything seems to go through bloody recruitment agencies now. I mean, I am applying for a SPECIFIC job, I DO NOT want to sign on with an agency just to do that. PFF.
Anyway, this is sort of a mid-post, I shall try to put some effort in one in the near future. Ta-ta.

I can empathise with the Recruitment Consultancy thing - I applied to many many jobs where all I got was some dick who called me up in a week and said 'I see you've been applying for jobs in the office admin sector'. The one that made me laugh was a guy who said - hi Mike, I've been looking at your CV and think you could have an excellent career in finance, give me a call. Oh dear.
Renting a flat not through a letting agent is awkward if you aren't already in the place you are moving to - I am sadly going through an agent at the moment. Right now I'm asking for a lock on the bathroom door and and bedroom door. Sadly neither will come before my friend comes to visit later today! Letting agents mostly suck, but when you aren't a student anymore they do seem to have less distain for you, but they take more of your money!
