A typical welfare day where my advisor shrugged off my attendance at a recent jobs fair that he sent me to, and arranged for me to phone after a data-processing job too far from home. When I rang after it I found the job had already gone anyway. Typical.
It remained too cold and miserable out for playing with my camcorder which is infuriating.
For some reason I kept convincing myself that it was Thursday.

We have to take a job upto 3 hours away if/when looking for a job,turn it down and end of the month they deduct the money.
Im always praying they dont kick me out of my job, i live in a rural area(relative) so finding a job is not easy unless i commute to Bern every morning something i`d hate to do.

@miniam I have taken jobs with two hour commutes there and back but the hours of this one are likely to be outside times buses run so it would be impossible

@miniam many jobs make driving a pre-requizite for application now - it makes chasing the work with them impossible for pedestrians

How is "playing with my camcorder" going to help you find a job?

@celticeagle that is one of my Youtube projects - held back from the next stage by the weather at present

@celticeagle it's not but hopefully being able to promote myself and my writings on youtubes might give me some income

What kind of work are you looking for? I am currently looking for another job and most expect more experience than anyone has.

well, good that it was gone, so you didn't have to fight him on the too far away thing. I wish they'd help you get USEFUL retraining.

Have you had hail and snow? Our weather seems to be changing by the hour between hail, sleet, snow, rain or briefly sun. Very strange.

Doesn't sound like it was a great day. Hope they get better.
