More job hunting-related activities today. I've set myself a list of tasks for today and managed to get everything dome that I intended. Paltry as some of those tasks were admittedly pretty paltry. But that's not the point. The point is that you've got to have a plan, as far as I keep hearing.

So, what was on this list? I had to give the new Coldplay album a good listen for a start. You've got to keep abreast of these things. Then there's the job business. Searched the web until my eyes stung. Then I did it some more. So far there's not much to shout about, although I might not be looking in the right places. It's good for ideas and focusing the mind. Plus it makes you think about new strategies, like writing to some people who I'd like to work for. That would be quite novel. There's more to the list but it really doesn't merit the bandwidth. Trust me, it was all crucial, grown-up stuff.

Anyway, I met a colleague in uni today and we had a very brief chat. He asked if I'd seen this job and that bloody job and if I'd gone for that and applied for that. I said I hadn't and I could sense he felt quite pleased with himself. Maybe I was bit touchy about it. Of course I should have looked ahead with a little more clarity and blah blah blah.

The way I see it, I just thought I'd give the poor bastards a fortnight's head start.
