life troubles
Jul. 1st, 2008 10:44 pmI had this job about to start that I was really looking forward to, and it would have been great experience, looked good on my CV etc. So I was obviously thrilled when I got it and quit my old job several weeks ago so I could have a break in between.
Only this afternoon they called to say that they're shutting down their Glasgow office. I think, from what the woman said, that there was something a bit dodgy going on financially: I didn't really want to question her, since she was losing her job and sounded quite upset about it.
So, back to job-hunting, which is just unbelievably depressing.
On the other hand:
1) DOCTOR WHO!!! I know everyone else has already squeed (or panicked/complained/wailed/etc) but, despite its many flaws, I loved that last episode. And, while not wanting to spoil anyone...if they really follow through on that cliffhanger, does that make them the best secret keepers in TV history?
2) Yay Spain. I was very happy with Russia and Turkey getting to the semis. I feel unpopular saying this because there are so many supporters of the 'big' nations on my flist, but...I always want the underdogs to do well. And that would have just meant so much to Russians and Turks. Although I was happy Spain won, since obviously they had that whole underachiever thing and hadn't won anything since 1964.
3) Actually, recently my life has pretty much revolved around TV. Except my mum called, to see if I wanted to go to the Orkneys in August, so my tour of Scotland may continue then! I suppose that's one upside of not having a job.
And, I may post pictures of Stirling/Inverness/Ullapool/Hebrides/Skye sometime soon. If I can be arsed.
