It looks wet and cold and sounds windy outside. Not nice but I have to go out in that later. I've been put forward for a short contract at my previous company so the consultant needs me to come in a properly register with his agency. I hate registering with job agencies. They have my CV with everything they need to know about me on it, but when I arrive I still have to complete all these forms asking me for the same information that I've supplied on my CV. So boring and I get hand cramp from trying to write it all out quickly when I've done it sooo many times before. There must be an easier way of registering.
However I will be glad of the excuse to get out of the flat and out of my local area and mix with people. I've done nothing and seen no one these past couple of days and it's slowly doing my head in. Later I'll be attending a "Speed Flatmating" event with a girl we went to the theatre with on Saturday and has recently moved to London. Not sure if there'll be too many whole (2 bed) flats on offer there tonight but it can't hurt to look. I definitley need to find a place that's located near a tube line. I'm tired of trekking in and out to my flat and sometimes it's easier just to stay in and be a loner than to make the effort to get out.

Yeah that used to absolutely do my head in. I'm pretty sure I vented about this exact same thing this time last year, when I was unemployed for those two months. I really fail to understand why the government can't introduce some sort of central database where all our aptitude test results, skills, all that shit, is ALL held, and each agency can just tap in to it.
God I loathe job agencies. I hate how most of the time, they're your only option. They're totally shit. And I think actually the reason they make you come in is also so they can SEE you and get to see how you look and what you're like, even though they claim it's to "register" - when I briefly worked at Hays you should have read some of their interview notes after meeting candidates, going on about how fat they were, or they smelled, or there was no way with that face they could get a reception job... etc etc. Hideous.
