Success!! Temp work sorted,,,

With the problem of my working holiday visa.. the time wasted looking for permanent jobs has sucked up far too much time.. and sadly my saving as well... luckily I've managed to sort out some temp work.. from who.. none other than the one recruitment agency that asked me to return and register my info into their database.. Randstad

its not what I'm looking for but.. it's work and also means... I'm finally getting some income flowing back into my savings.. its not a lot but its better than nothing.. its only for a month for now but again its better than nothing.. might save on utilities bill.. being at home 24/7 does mean electricity is being used..

does this however balance out with travel, food and other daily expenses?! dunno.. my girl and i are considering sharing the car as well.. she'll get it Mon, Wed & Fri while i get Tues & Thurs... i think its not a bad idea.. my girl need the car for those days so she can go to the gym after work..

I'm starting tomorrow.. I'm already feeling anxious.. my palm are actually sweating as I'm typing this blog as well.. go figure.. should be too bad.. first day shouldn't be to difficult... they just tell me what I'm suppose to do and just do it.. the question is.. what am i gonna be doing?! I'll find out tomorrow... wish me luck!! i have to wear a shirt and tie as well.. argh...

Argh no bloody wonder!!

so the job hunting still a pain in the arse and here's a very big reason... because i'm here in uk using a working holiday visa.. non of the recruitment firms will look for permenant position for me one year working allowance isn't permenant enough. i told them if they sort me out a permenant job i will apply for a permanat visa than.. i dont want to spend moeny that are tied down to rent and bills for a visa app. but its like they cannot be arsed.. so i totally pissed i've wasted so much time not working and no one really explaining anything to me.

of course that doesn't explain the reason why i'm not able to get temp/contractual positions but atleast i know what i should target..

Life isn't always easy...

I've return to the UK since October 2008 to start a new life in here why? When my girlfriend goes back to university, I’m here to be her financial support and we didn’t want to do long distance relationship again. She goes back this September, so ideally, I had about a year to gain work experience, build a decent savings before she heads back into poverty as a student.

On that note, I have been trying to find a job since I've been back... no luck... yup bad timing on the travelling back to UK... stuupid global economy meltdown... As if my life isn't gonna be difficult enough as it is.. 5 months!! Not been able to find a job for 5 months and still counting!! How messed up is that... and to top it all off, saving now are nearly depleted and i have bill/rent and other expenses to sort out...

So... What to do? What are the options? What are the ways to generate some or any income?

Option 1 - Find a job
Option 2 - Sell stuff
Option 3 - Do something online
Option 4 - Rob a bank

hmm OK that's all I can think of at the moment... I'll get into further details maybe later... even though I don't have paid job... I should at least be a good boyfriend and clean up the flat before my baby gets back from work... yes, I can be quite domesticated at times... Definitely need a paying job soon... :S
