Hi de hi! in OD

As I may have mentioned before, I’ve been sent by the jobcentre to a place called Triage as part of a work program. I had my second appointment with them yesterday. Thankfully, I didn’t get any homework this time, but they did a check to test my readiness for work and then gave me two options. I could either go on a program where they would send my on courses for things like interview skills or they could just look for work for me. I chose the latter.

So, they phoned today and I have to go and see my DNA (stupid fucking titles they give these things, I’ve previously had three career coaches and now a fucking DNA, just call them bloody advisors) tomorrow at 2. Then a mandatory hour jobsearch. Which’ll mean coming offline in the library. Where I do jobsearch. And their computers are shit.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Still, at least I have the concert to look forward to. This year is the 100th birthday of the Transporter Bridge and there’s a celebratory concert tomorrow night, complete with the first ever performance of the Middlesbrough Symphony. As you might expect, the tickets are pricey but I won a couple on facebook yesterday.

Here’s more information: Transporter Bridge Centenary Concert.

Look at me being all classy and shit. Not dressing up for it though.

Watched the last episode of Torchwood. If you cry easily, get the tissues handy. Still need to write my review of that and some reviews for my book review diary, which you can find here

And while I’m linking to things, I’m on facebook here twitter here and Google+ here.

And if you want to join in the Google+ fun, invites can be located here.

That’s all the links for now.

I’m seriously going grey around the temples. At least I’m not going bald…

That’s about it. Plans for the night are to watch Ringers, burn the Oh Brother gig I downloaded to DVD (thanks to psychobabble for that one), convert some songs from M4A to mp3 (it’s actually quite sad looking at the One Day soundtrack list cos both the main characters in the books had much, much better taste than that) and wait till midnight when I get paid and can get baccy and food (chicken parmo FTMFW).

So, I’ll go now. Hope everyone is OK.

Will
