9:30 am - got up, made a cup of tea, got dressed, started a conversation with a mate via Yahoo! that lasted, on and off, for most of the morning
9:50 am - retrieved post. Two repair slips from the council - one for the roof and one for a "gator" valve on the immersion heater. I actually asked for a "gate or valve" to shut the hot water off in the event of a leak (which there was a few days ago). :rolleyes:
10.30 am - phoned a contact at the Council regarding the ASB problems in the area. Enquired about moving - will have to go into town (Leeds) tomorrow
10:40 am - phoned police to ask for the crime number for the missing door handle and broken window that happened last night
10:50 am - phoned council to arrange for reglazing of the broken window. Joiner due today - heard that before :afire:
11:00 am-ish - electrician turned up to fit the "gator" valve. Sent him away. Will have to phone the council again :afire:
12:00 pm-ish - joiner turns up to reglaze the window. Can now clean up all the broken glass
12:30 pm - fell alseep
4:30 pm - woke up. Went down and locked/bolted front door, drew curtains in living room
4:40 pm - surfing the Net, checking email and general job hunting. Chatted to my mate again via Yahoo!
6:45pm - Buffy the Vampire Slayer :)
7:40pm - food
8:30pm - more Yahoo! chat
9:00pm - parasite programme on BBC 1 :eek:
10:00pm - on here. Gonna check the Irish Lotto results and then watch more TV
Life of a doley huh? :) If you're thinking of doing a degree, particularly an IT one, don't bother wasting 4 years of your life. Just not worth it.

Don't get it at all :) Was that humour as in, "you don't need a degree to be a teacher?" or did you read something subtle in my post that lead you to believe I'd make an ideal teacher? I can't stand kids. Adults I can tolerate though :) Come to think of it, I have delivered training before and I can explain complex stuff in a simple way, so who knows.
The IT industry is still in a slump and graduate recruitment figures have taken a dive. This is partly related to a shift in the job market - fewer jobs these days (certainly in IT) require a degree than in the past. The Government's drive towards 50% HE take up will devalue the degree even further - the big question is "What will employers use as a indicator of ability?". And I think the answer, in part, lies in the increasing use of assessment centres that measure (or attemp to) how well a candidate fits the job description/profile. I might join a monkery or go preach the gospel to cannibals in Peru :D So depressing :cry:

I've been where you are now, and have since been employed in my chosen profession for the past twelve years ('91 was not known as a good year for getting work as a graduate). I can understand your frustration, (it took me 18 months to land a 'proper job'), but hang in there. I'm sure you'll find something. Once you get started, prospects will change (for the better) ;)
