For those of you paying attention…

Yes, for those of you paying attention I was unemployed between september first and november eleventh. Actually that’s a bit dishonest. While it’s true that for most of that time I was not working, I did have a few short term jobs. Two days at e-zec ambulance services, a week and a bit entering competition entries into a database for fat face and of course a two week stint at one stop. One stop was the place in fact that gave me the drive to go – after an absence of two years, almost to the day – crawling back to the coop. On November eleventh I made my illustrious return to the society with a debut at sultan road, a little store in a lovely area of Portsmouth called Buckland, known to the locals as dolesville and to everyone else as Little Baghdad. Honestly guys, if you’re ever curious as to the definition of “sink hole estate” I suggest you pay a visit, but don’t forget a stab vest, leave your cash and valuables in a nicer area, and for the love of all that is holy do not feed the animals. There’s a woman in the area who – and I wish I was making this up – tries to pay for her morning bottle of vodka with her WELFARE MILK VOUCHERS while HER CHILD IS IN THE PRAM RIGHT THERE. Evolution definitely took a wrong turn there. Anyway 3 months of mostly unemployment has left me very broke so I’m off for sleep before I go to work 27 hours in two days :-|
