As you may (or may not) know I’m looking for a new job down south, about as south as you can get really, in Southampton.

This means going through the pain of updating my CV to include a shocking amount of marketing speak and creating covering letters that define the term ‘remote brown nosing’.

It also means getting lots and lots of phone calls from agencies that see your CV on monster or similar, fail to read any of it (possibly due to their inability to read) and ask you all about it. A side effect of this means that they look at my address and decide I want a job in bristol – even though I’ve explicity said Southampton, or in extreme cases, ask me where Southampton is!

Sickening metaphores and agency retards aside; I’ve seen it as an opportunity to better myself, so I just brought a book on C# from borders as it was half price (a bad sign?). Unbeknownst to me at the time it appears that C# is basically the same as Java. Nice one Microsoft.
