I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
and heaven knows...

As you may know thanks to the QOTW of a couple of weeks ago, I've been unemployed for a few months now.

I applied today for a job where the weekly rate = my previous daily rate. However, it's a job, albeit for 6 months.

I've got an interview on Monday.

Should I take it, just to get out of the house and working ?

Or is this short-term madness ?

Comments please, b3tans...

I would say YES
Getting out the house is always good. Wee bit of pocket change of course and allegedly it's easier to get work if you already have a job.

Allegedly..

Right!
I've mulled this over while having my dinner and decided that if you can manage financially then go for it.

Better to be working than sitting at home watching Loose women and picking fluff out of your navel.

I know
a 21 year old sweedish masseuse who is quite loose, i'd stay at home watching her all day

*may not be true

loose women *shudder*

i'd sweep out horse stables that have had a case of the trots for free than watch those ignorant harpies, or Jeremy knocknocker kyle

Random rant over, take the job, you never know what random opportunities it may lead to.

I say take it.
If you can afford to.

Much better to be out of the house and working. Who know where it may lead?

Good god, take it!
I'm in *exactly* the same position and I'm bordering on sucking cock for money. You don't want to suck cock do you? Well!? Do you!?

Do it
I'm now essentially testing prototype products for hifi companies and reviewing completed ones- my lounge looks like the set of Weird Science. It might be paying some money but it isn't a real job by any stretch of the imagination. On thursday, I didn't actually speak to another human- typed at them yes- spoke to them no. Do it to stay sharp and in form as it were.

Thank you b3tans !
I had pretty much made up my mind to do it, but you're right. I don't think it will lead to anything long-term, but like you say, it keeps me using my brain, which has begun to atrophy.

Let's just hope they give it to me...the job that is...we'll see, I'll keep you informed.

Wish me luck !

love and wet kisses to you all...
