The Daily Teaser — 18-11-2013: Jonestown

It’s official: it’s a Monday.

Yes, I know, I know: I’m stating the obvious.

But it’s now officially the start of a new week.   Which means getting the nose back to the jobhunting grindstone.

Not that I actually stop: I usually manage to do something, even if it’s just check my emails.

Still … the simple fact that it’s taken this long to find a new job … ?

Does twang a bit.

Things could, frankly, be better.

Still, they could well be worse: so I can’t grumble that much.

Let’s get a move on, shall we?
