I really like Saaaaarf London.
My flat is a reasonable size, and I'm close to Elephant for its super bus links etc. Not much bad things, unless you count the mould and the breakin by squatters.

Alt: Getting my first pair of real shoes. They were red and I remember walking down the drive to say hello to my sister who had come back from school, so I must have been at least 2.

Alt alt: I'm like a £10 note.

Lampers
The E & C rules. I lived just down the Walworth Road for years. Have you been to the market?

HNY BTW.

Merci.
My sister used to live near Lambeth North, she used to go to East Street Market the whole time for veggies. I live a 3 min stroll away and I've still not been :/

I'm also just down the Walworth Road. Didn't you also live on Camberwell New Road or was that someone else?

Me. I can't get enough of South London.
I lived in Stockwell too. It's rough but I liked living there.

And Peckham.

Are you coming to Brizzle in April?

Unfortunately not.
It's 2 days before my dissertation is due in, so I expect I'll be a little fraught. Punch someone for me though!

It would be my pleasure.
What's your dissertation abaht?
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Fri 13 Jan 2012, 11:19, Reply)

About 12,000 words, probably.

Word limit is 10,000!
Thank goodness. It's something to do with conversion and Saint Augustine and some shit. I don't know.

Morning DG.
Any news following recent interest and interviews?

Didn't get the job I was interviewed for last week
but got some very positive feedback and was basically told that on another day, I'd probably have been hired, it's just that another candidate answered one of the questions slightly more expansively than I had.

Still waiting to hear back regarding the agency job, but they've sent my CV off to whoever they are acting on behalf of (i.e. probably the Jobcentre as the job description exactly matches what they do, but the Agency isn't allowed to disclose at the moment).

Also applying for a permanent position within the Jobcentre (the agency one is until the end of March, presumably to allow time for the permanent recruitment to take place). In an illogical twist, the vacancy through the agency pays about £9k per year more than the actual job itself.

How bizarre.
Think of the agency fee too. Your tax pound at work.

I know, it seems pretty incredible.
If it is the Jobcentre (and it seems pretty likely) I'm surprised they didn't think 'hang on, we've got someone on our books who's worked here before and knows the ropes, let's give him a bell and see if he's interested'. Although, that said, they're probably hampered by equal opportunities stuff.

Aren't they duty bound to advertise the job?
My Mum's a civil servant and she goes on about this stuff all the time. Advertise internally, then externally blah blah.
(Set your faces to Stunned Bigly, Fri 13 Jan 2012, 12:04, Reply)

It was advertised on their own fucking website.
Seems a bit mental to go through an agency, though.
