So yes, got a bite from my job applications. Not actually for the job I was going for, but my resume is strong enough for a recruitment agency to take a punt on me and call me in for an interview. Somewhat less of a panic than I was a few hours ago, though my current workplace is wanting me to take annual leave for the interview rather than personal. Fuck that for a joke, if I get other interviews over the next few weeks, do I just take sick leave or something?
The job market in this country is fucked. Pure and simple. Though at least we aren't Greece or Spain I guess, with double or triple the unemployment of here. But I must not panic, I have close friends that care heaps for me and will support me if there is an extended time away from the office. We will get through this.
I cooked for Roma and Knoxville tonight. Rather than spending the money on an evening out. Pan baked chicken and roast veges, once I figured out the electric elements lol. Apparently it worked out awesome, and it was the first time I have cooked in about eighteen months. Was very pleased with myself, and then just a quiet couple of hours on the couch with Roma. Was simply delightful.
She's out of town for the next couple of weeks. I'm screwing my face up at the thought. But, I can't monopolize her time constantly. Especially when it's work related. And getting out of town will do her the world of good. And on her day off I've told her to go visit the local art gallery, Over There. And to send me pictures :)
Art, besties, food, quiet quality time. It's been a great night.
