Unexpected
Feb. 1st, 2008 11:45 amWell, here's a thing...
Walking back from Sainsbury's a few minutes ago, I got stopped by a couple of Irish lads in a van. They've got a jobbing building firm and they're looking to take on a few people. I somehow got talked into accepting a try-out, starting right now. They're just going to check on something for a quote, then they're coming back to pick me up and take me round with them for today, and maybe the rest of the week. Rather fast, really. They're based on the far side of Milton Keynes. I have to say I'm not all that keen on the idea of being a builder's mate, but the jobcentre are breathing down my neck 'cos apparently looking in the only trade paper for my chosen career about jobs is not good enough for them.
So, looks like I may not be within reach of a computer until maybe tomorrow night at least. If I don't update BeerMonster on Sunday, I'll have gone missing and someone should call the police.
