    Suits me.

    I'll be up at 6 a.m. making the tea then hitting the job sites getting my CV in first.

    That is the number one, first-on-every-list, absolutely guaranteed way to become long term unemployed: daytime TV. There is nothing - nothing - worse you could possibly be doing with your time.

        Ahhh...

        New Yew -

        Starting my Exec MBA 'properly' next week (first in University session) - meet the 'Cohort'.

        Also, having 10,000 leaflets delivered for my plan 'B' and need to interview some freelance domestic engineers.

        It's good to have things under my control rather than the trainee pimps who ring me up.

          What's a "domestic engineer"?
          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

                Not everyone - I understand.

                Also, those that do, fortunately for me, have let them out of the kitchen!

                      Why would anyone watch daytime tv anyway?

                      I think my plan of action will be to update status on linkedin on the 5th (pimps will be too busy catching up on e-mails on the 4th, as most of them have been off since the 18th Dec)

                      Re-e-mail all my regular pimps and give them a call.

                      and chase the pimp who's supposed to be rearranging this interview for me.

                      and chase the irons in fire possibilities that I was contacted direct about.

                      I'm not going to start panicking for another 6 months. My industry isn't so bad and I have had calls about stuff prior to xmas that is being lined up for the new year with various companies.

                      I just have to give a few market contacts a nudge.
