    I set off on foot for the Job Centre at 8:45 and got back about 10:00.

    What a lovely, bright, sunny, frosty, crisp morning.

    Everyone I saw was happy and cheery. "Good morning, good morning!" they cried.

    The man in the Job Centre was happy to see me. I am supposed to sign on in the afternoon but asked if I could switch to the morning because of Xmas commitments. They said it would help them get away earlier too, so we're all happy.

    Happy, happy, joy, joy.

    It's all sunshine and lollipops.

    You see, I got up at 6:30 and saw a gig advertised late yesterday in my niche field. I fired off a CV and got a call from the agent. They are sole supplier for this client and I am the ONLY person they have found that they can put forward for the role. And the money is the same good rate as my last gig.

          I don't buy it. Have you finally flipped?

          I mean the job centre were nice, people were cheery and polite? Sounds weird.

          If it is true and you haven't finally lost your marbles then very good luck sir.

                a) I specialise in public sector project management. I know how to get these buggers on my side.

                b) I am not in an inner city or London. That helps.

                  In that case I can let off a few bananas.



                  Good luck. Any interview date set yet?
