Right … That’s my daily Job search, done.
I don’t know if you realise it, but I’m not working, at the moment.
Which makes any problems one has with — say — a computer monitor, fridge or oven, look a lot fiddly to resolve.
As I don’t have the cash to replace anything like that.
But ONE of the consequences of being out of work … ?
Is I have to do a daily job search: at my local job centre. It’s relatively local: so no real hardship.
And it’s got to the point it’s actually enjoyable: I can do something positive to find work: and not be distracted by too many home comforts.
All good, eh … ?
