Life on the bench: in my dressing gown

[Zippy]

Do you feel tired this morning RC?

[scotspine]

I'm back in serious gig-chasing mode now.

The mind is focussed, brought about by having just transferred the last of the war chest into my current account.

there's a lot of people on here who've been there rc, myself included. keep at it. something will turn up. it always does! if you've had one offer, you'll have others for sure.

Chase the elephant II

There's a gig I went for the other day. It is at an old permie employer and in a location I've never lived in but fancy. The agent wanted a CV rewrite and I HATE doing them. The deadline was today. I've been ignoring it.

So I got up this morning and started gig hunting. I knew I had this CV to do. So I looked at it and played with my Firefox Addons.

And I looked at the CV and drivelled on here.

And I looked at the CV and read some email.

And I went for a dump and remembered the elephant dream and realised I had been chasing bunnies all morning.

So I sat down and followed the elephant.

CV and letter, tailored for the role just beautifully, gone and confirmation received from the agent that it will go forward.

At some point that elephant will stop and turn and we'll confront each other face-to-face and see what happens. But that's another day.


Don't try and chase all the deer at once. I doesn't work unless you want an old, diseased one.

Don't chase the bunnies. They are a distraction and won't feed the family.

Identify your elephant. Walk towards it, concentrate on its arse and every time you get within reach, prod it with your spear. Eventually you'll be eating elephant burgers and wondering if they'll ever end.

Strangely knackered despite having a good long night.

Morning RC, mushroom omelette for supper again

I'm a fully qualified dream analyser type bod.

I have read your dream story, and I think it raises a few interesting points.

1. Nutter
2. Complete Nutter
3. Woop woop
4. Bibble

Good luck RC, just make sure its not a big white one like before

Last time I tried that in a bar I ended up wearing my pint.

Caution advised.

RC, good luck with the elephant.

Unfortunately the odd rabbit or diseased deer is sometimes needed to ensure that the sandwich bag never empties.
