Huffsigh.

So I didn't get the cinema job that I applied for, which is kind of a bummer but I'm trying to keep positive. Having been unemployed for the past four years isn't really helping me, I think, and maybe I need to work on selling myself a bit better. I've gone ahead and applied for some volunteer work - at the PDSA, Cat's Protection and the Red Cross. It'd be nice if I could do that just to get out there a bit. At least, it might stop mum complaining at me for a little while. The only thing bothering me now is for the past four years I've been being supported financially by my dad. I can't expect him to keep giving me money even though he seems to be okay with it (for now, at least) so I know I really need to find some work and preferably soon. I don't like being rushed =-=

Ah well. Such is life. I can't remain a bum forever.

I've applied for Waterstones, a bookstore here in the UK, and hopefully I'll have more luck with that than I did with the cinema. I'd prefer to work in a bookstore anyway.

I keep typing a title here to find out I've used it before.

Rather an uneventful day. I overslept, though thankfully my sister woke up and punted me out of bed in time for me to make it to the dentist without being horribly late. I was only ten minutes late and they didn't seem to mind, and I was in the place probably less than ten minutes. That's pretty usual for me though. I've only ever had one filling my entire adult life and even then it was only as a precaution. I'm pretty much just easy money for them.

After that I figured I might as well spend some time in town since I didn't want to make the walk in seem like a waste (a 20 minute walk in 25+ degree weather is like walking through the bowels of hell, I swear to god), so I went to the cafe that I worked in when I was in college and had a drink, and my old boss turned up. It was nice, he seemed rather happy to see me. Didn't offer me a job, though =P

While I'm very aware that I have other writing commitments at the moment I've had a sudden flash of inspiration for a Hetalia/Fallout-verse crossover fic. I'm not sure how it's going to pan out just yet so we'll see if it gets past the planning stages.
