Anyone in need of some computery goodness?
Hey!

I'm sure you all remember me ;) Living in Canada and all that...
(*waves to Kaol*)

I'm currently living in Canada and hunting down work. It's pretty piss-poor as to be expected with this drab economy, so I've decided to go back into the Web-Design game.

My question to you lovely lot it this: Do you know of anyone in need of a website (PHP, Javascript - the works) who'd be happy to hire my good self?
I've had 4 years experience developing PHP web-based applications, 3 years with jQuery and Ajax prettyness and a few frameworks under my belt.

Sorry for the spam, and thanks in advanced. Kittums to follow.

Axai

I've got a mate in Canada doing similar stuff to yours, so I'll ask if they're hiring at the moment

No worries. He just got himself a job there, so is happy to ask on Monday for you.
I'm good thanks, 2 months out of work since I quit my job, but don't mind too much as I've got plenty to do to keep myself entertained while I look for work.

Lucky dude ;)
Me and you both, well, it's been 3 months for me. Why did you quit?! I have stuff to keep me entertained but my bank balance keeps prompting me to get work ;)

I did two and a half months of boredom last year, so this year decided to do stuff that was fun like seeing the royal parks,
discover London a bit and make OT more entertaining for everyone by banishing HSH threads as THEY WERE FUCKING DULL.

I quit because the receptionist was getting to nurse more than I was, so I was being put on reception all the time. Also had some disagreements with a vet, so it wasn't worth staying as they wanted me out. Waiting to hear back from a place I did a trial shift at a week ago, but they said it'd be a couple of weeks til they let me know.

Ahhh
Lol! Indeed, I'd have to agree there ;)

Why is that? God-damn receptionists. The one at my last company was a crazy bi*ch, she used to think she owned the place. Good luck with the new place though. Fingers crossed for you ;)

O hai! Long time no speak!
I do know someone in need of a site; she's asked a mutual colleague of ours to help her design it, but will mention it to her.

Sorry the job market's shit there mate :( hope it picks up soon!

O HAI DERE
Indeed, it's been waaaaaay too long. thanks for the mention though =)

It's terrible here, 2 interviews in 2 months - and I don't speak french!
Not really helping much is it ;) Alas, I am considering returning to the UK to earn a better rate and send that back to Canada.

Enough depression, how are you?

Far far too long since Finsbury Park!

I thought the only way to get a residence permit in Canada was to already have a job to go to? Always used to be the case apparently. Really hope you don't have to go back to the UK though for your Mrs' sake :(

Quite fluffeh: nearly done my year's service (fnar) with E*, and while the guy I'm living with and I aren't together any more as of a couple of months ago, we still get on really well. Going to Paris with work on Wednesday and later in August :) will be in London one weekend next month for fun times, too.

Can has?
Yes! Finsbury Park was excellent, I had oodles of fun.

I don't have residency yet, I have an open work permit. I'm submitting for residency in September - fingers crossed!

I hope I don't have to, but if I do, I'll be able to fly back and forth hopefully.

Ooo! Niceeee.... good luck in paris, I didn't like it myself - full of french people >< Ill be in london from the 14th of August for 1 month to pass my driving test ;) Might see you then?

You can indeed has.
Haven't been to another bash since then; I stopped commuting about a fortnight later and now work full time in Ashford. Woe.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you; long distance relationships are incredibly painful so I hope it doesn't come to that :( 8 hour flights and lots of money...

I'm going out for the day on Wed - it's an onboard service personality thing so I and two of my colleagues will be standing in the bar buffet so people can come and chat to us about their journeys. August will be my holiday if my accomplice and I can get the dates sorted out :)

Oh no, driving tests :( still not passed mine, so I have the utmost sympathy for you there. I'll be up one weekend in mid-Jul for exciting fun times but now the high speed's come in I'll be making more London trips so you never know...

Woe indeed
Ashford, poor poor you ;)

Thanks, me and the GF actually met and had a LDR for 1 year, so it's not as if we've never done it before, I'd still rather not go back there though!

That sounds... scary, Random people coming up to tell you about their journeys. Watch out for bert-types :)

I failed my test twice! D'oh. Once for stalling twice(?!) and the second for going 32mph in a 30. Four times. FAIL. I'll be taking my test as soon as i arrive back in the UK *worries*.

Maybe you'll be in london in Aguust then, i'll be sure to say hi!

Ashford is
a place you go to go somewhere else. Clenders will tell you so. Convenient for work, not so much for a decent social life!

I've done LDRs before and really didn't enjoy it so definitely not keen on the idea of anyone else having to do it :)

Some of my colleagues have already had E*'s nutter quotient come up to them and tell them they should be models and try to pimp their unmarried friends to them when they've been so I'm contemplating a nun's habit for the occasion!

I've failed 3 times: the first epically and should never have been put in for it, second for bumping the kerb reversing round the corner and the third time for going too wide around the same corner. Hate driving tests :(

I'll certainly try to be; am going to try to get to a few more bashes while the weather's nice and the evenings are long (have promised Pot I will come to at least one!)
