the walls are starting to crack

hello adoring public. once again, i'm been neglecting my audience and no written in here for ages. not that anyone's noticed so there ya go. turns out, just for a change, i have something to write about. last week, i got made redundant. which sucks. it's the first time in (what i loosely refer to as) my career that i've not been the one making the decision about when it's the right time to move on. which, granted is debatable whether i've always made the right decisions in the past. but that's pretty irrelevant. so here i am, gainfully unemployed. job hunting's a full time job, you know. the panic's not setting in quite yet, i have a months notice before the well runs dry, so am not applying to pizza hut quite yet. give it a few weeks tho and i might be a bit more worried. in the meantime, have been busy tarting up my 'business' website and portfolio and firing off cvs and things. one meeting with a recruitment agent on thursday and waiting on a return call about one position tomorrow. i should keep an up to date record of how it all goes. but i guess i should be busy with more proactive things instead of that. i have been to the gym every day this week so far, so if i can keep that up i'll be a) in good shape for the holiday we booked before the buggers made me redundant (assuming i actually get to go!) and b) more likely to make money whoring myself on a street corner if all else fails. everyone's a winner. in other news, the new secret machines album has leaked and it sounds rather good so far. all the worries when brother thingy left haven't amounted to a huge let down. in fact, it's sounding a lot more meandering than the last one. which is a good thing.
