Basically all i’ve been thinking about these last few weeks is what i’m going to do once i’m jobless. there was still a small chance of my job still being kept on after the end of the month, if the company got lots of work in, but i just gave my boss a lift somewhere, during which he was asking me if i’d found a job yet. so that’s basically confirmed that i’m out of a job. oh well.

I’ve come up with a bit of a plan though, which could be good, or could be awful. there’s basically no jobs going around here at the moment, but my uncle runs a construction company in the midlands. he says that i could get a job for at least a couple of months with him. so the plan at the moment is, end this  job at the end of january. take a few weeks off to watch the winter olympics and the superbowl (quite the plan). then start working down at his, whilst still technically living in leeds. then it’ll be say may time. the world cup a month after that, so move back up to leeds for that, i’ve already paid most of my rent for may and june, so those months would be fairly cheap. and i’d just be able to watch football all the time.
After/during those months, i’d start looking for jobs properly in leeds, hopefully the market will have recovered a bit by then, and there’ll be proper jobs going. otherwise i’ll be doing a byron, and getting on the JSA. or, if i’ve saved up enough money whilst working for my uncle, i might try go away somewhere for a month, but that probably won’t happen.

Alternatively i might try and get a job at this structural computer software company in leeds, nearly all of my work is based on their software, so i understand all that. and i think their technical support staff work from home, which would be great. not having to drive anywhere in the morning. i’d be like homer in that episode of the simpsons, with the bird that pecks the Y button. although preferably not wearing a dress. the only problem is that the only jobs that they’ve got going at the moment are in sales, which i would be fucking awful at. i’m getting an agent to enquire for me though (i sound like a business man), and maybe they’ll see what a star of the construction world i am, and give me a massive salary, a great computer (to install football manager on), and all their software for free (to do work on the sly), it’d be fun.

Sorry for this blog being so boring, this is more of a putting my own thoughts in order blog, than one to entertain anyone.

In other news, i’ve started watching the programme “Supernatural”, it’s a pretty shit name, but it’s a good programme. it’s about these two brothers who drive around america killing demons and getting rid of ghosts. it’s basically like the more supernatural episodes of the x files, but they actually kill the stuff instead of just running away. the over arching story is pretty good as well, their mom got killed in a mysterious way when the brothers were little (they’re mid/late 20s now), and them and their dad are trying to solve the mystery. i’m only just over halfway through the first series, and i think there’s currently 4 series in total, so i’ve got shit loads to watch. there’s about 20 episodes each series as well, and they’re 40 minute episodes. that’ll keep me occupied during unemployment.

I’ve also just ordered to complete friends boxset, which will keep me occupied for fucking years, it’s only £40 for all the episodes at the moment, which is a great deal, there’s 40 dvds in that.

I also apologise for never getting around to doing architecture blogs, that’s what i get all the hits for, rather than my boring drivel. I’ll do one in the next few weeks. sorry.
