The Gremlin's Grotto

Well folks, I want to start this post off with something positive... congratulations to Arsenal for having the best luck I have seen in... well probably my life. Man U kicked their asses, but yet, somehow (I think the curse of Glazer has already begun), Arsenal still won in penalties!!! Oh, and for you guys who know my soccer love: Lincoln is still in playoffs in Div 2!!! That's right!!! Hmm, other than that, here is what I have to tell you all: not much at all. I have realized almost all my closest friends are married, have kids or will be married and will have kids soon. Amazing isn't it? We all growed up... well, almost all. So, I have given myself a deadline to get work: a week and a half. If I don't have something positive happening (ie job interviews), or a job lined up, I am calling it quits and coming home. Well, I will be coming home after my sister's wedding. I will go spend some time in Czech Rep until the wedding, and then go home. Now, home is..well, I haven't decided!!! Winnipeg and Halifax both have a place in my heart now, oh yes, Winnipeg has a place in my heart! Good lord....

So, I would like to hear the two factions give me good reasons to move to their respective cities, that does not mean other places are left out, if you have another good place for me, feel free to chime in... I am open to anything. I am truly disheartened over the whole not finding work thing, I mean, I could find work doing minimum wage here in a corner of England that I would never get out of, but that is not why I am here. I want experience in the right area (sales, teaching or art), and if I can't have it, I might as well come home. I have looked at everything, I have applied for more than those three aspects, and have had little success with them. I may have an interview next week (I was told I would), and I have registration forms to become a substitute teacher with maybe a full time position in September, but I need work NOW. So, I will get off the registration, I will hopefully have my interview, and I will hopefully get a job. If not, debate is on: where oh where does the little Gremlin go from here?

Oh, you want to know what I did all week don't you? I am in Europe so therefore it should be exciting right? Sheeeet, no. I went for a walk, I watched English soaps and English trash tv, I watched some soccer (highlight of my week), and I looked for work for 5 hours a day or so. Yup, Good ol' England.

So sits, Confused as hell,
The Desk Gremlin
