Today [10]

Those remind me of the Ramayana festival in certain area in Indonesia.

I have been walking Gracie as usual to-day. Also we are having the new cooker delivered this afternoon and the old one taken away. Also I going to do that Argos application form shortly and post it.

New Cooker? Very nice!

Didn't know it is celebrated even in Indonesia. :)

We do have that legacy in entire Bali Island and some other places in Java. Even many of our words are assimilated from Sanskrit, like naming the children in order Eka (1st), Dwi (2nd), Tri (3rd), catur, Panca, Sad, Sapta, Hasta, Nawa, and Dasa (10th).

No, my adviser does help other people besides me.

Anyway, I have been walking Gracie as usual and we will be going to Hastings shortly to do some shopping etc.

Have you tried, to just get on a job.. maybe on the later or earlier shift ?
YOU may have to ride the bus to your work site.. ALWAYS make sure you show up at least 15 minutes on site ..early. NEVER late .. never.
Be the best worker they have employed , do more than is required.

Follow the above you should have a job quickly.:)

I have done loads of voluntary work, but haven't had a paid job for about 10 years. After I left college back in 2002 I started looking for jobs soon after that.

The southeast has been a blackspot for not enough jobs etc for a very long time and it is getting worse.

No worse than around the South West coast of Wales and we are smaller. If you want to work there is always a job to be found especially in the holiday season.

OK maybe working in the tourist industry isn't your ideal job but it's work and you'll get paid instead of relying on the dole.

I don't think you've told us, forgive me if you have, but what type of job do you want, what did you study for ?

Ideally an office job (admin etc), but do not mind shop/retail work.

Carl..... You have to keep in mind , few to none will land an Admn, job right off the bat.
You have no expereince at that kind of job..with you being out of work for such a long time, take something less to get your foot in the door. Good luck:)
