After six months of promising I'd shout it from the rooftops when/if I found another job, I find I can only whisper to the wind...

"... I have a new job..."

Mostly because it's not the job I want, nor the money/salary package I want, nor the industry I want, nor the... you get the idea. But it pays a damn sight more per week than Centrelink does ~ then again, begging on a city streetcorner pays better than Centrelink... & the hours are better, you get an open-plan office, nice view, meet new people every day... damn, why haven't I been doing that for all this time...

In the absence of a promised-yet-non-forthcoming better offer, it's back to retail work in an electrical appliance store. Pray, for my sake & theirs, that I don't have to wear a nametag.
