Can I suggest immersing yourself in a MMORPG. World Of Warcraft saw me through my last bench stint in fine style. Well worth the £40 a month or however much it is.

noooo dont do it, you'll never be able to stop playing..

... 7 days to go til WOTLK

I've had to make a firm rule for myself of no WoW until after 4PM.. it's going to be very hard when WoTLK comes out...

My last bench stint consisted of little else (apart from pot noodle breaks of course).

I'm lucky if summat comes up more than once a week.

As chef says don't bother looking more than twice a day.
That takes up ooooh, about 10 minutes of your time, maybe 15 if you apply for anything.

November is the worst time really to look for jobs, most people are canning projects so they can be stuck in next years budget and with xmas not so long away things will start to wind down.

enjoy the time off rather than fretting about work and just keep plodding along with applying for whatever comes along that is suited to your skills.

I am in the same situation and I have to admit that spending all day on on job sites is a REALLY bad idea it just gets me cheesed off and I end up with my head in the fridge.

I try and limit my time searching and I also go for a walk at least once a day.

Its no fun, but i am an eternal optimist and am sure a job will turn up.... one day! (hopefully before Christmas - or else it's hotdogs for chrimbo lunch again this year!)

Get back to work, you shouldn't be surfing the web in company time.

i think that's the problem.. the lack of work to be applied for..

No you’re not…. you’re on the bench posting in your pants with the central heating turned all the way up.

Open a new tab it’s pot noodle time shirley.

Youre right. Get yourself down the local shopping mall and use their heating instead!

Can any one offer me some advise apart from the obvious.....

Get a life!

Must have missed that episode..... thanks for explaining....

I was expecting the standard "your a newbie we wont tell you answer"

[Xenophon]

It's from The Office, the Tim character says, Pot noodle and a wink, repeated ad nauseam on these boards.

It is indeed a classic scene.

Will some one explain this pot noodle comments I see so often?

[tay]

I tried that game, but it was boring. Just running around doing menial tasks.

Collect 7 rabbit ears..... Collect 6 troll anuses..... Collect 24 bandit banderros... talk to the shefiff of Nottingham... etc etc etc yawn.
