The age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists and calculators has succeeded.

Eh?


This lady works very hard.

And has interesting tastes in millinery...

...trepidation...

Well, I've finally done it.... I've quit my 'temporary' job! Yes, I am about to launch myself, like a confused minke whale, onto the silty shores of the full-time job-hunt. It worked for Wide (after the better part of a year), so I'm convinced the brazen terror of a dwindling bank account should be a good incentive to write more than two applications a month...
So, I'm going to treat this as a job. Get up early, get cracking, investigate contacts, telephone, cold call, smear attractive posters of myself across the lobbies of any development or lobbying organisation I can locate, call in all my favours. I'm even going to set myself targets- instead of 2 applications a month, I'll have at least two interviews. I might even go for training as to how not to frighten interview panels and yet provide a good soupçon of character. Mmmhmmm.

I really can't fail- 2007 is going to have to up the ante: another year in limbo (employment wise) would not be good for my soul...
