    Toolpusher, are you sure you know what you're committing yourself to?

    PS How did you escape one-a-day?

    Always. But especially on a Sunday lunch time.
    It's the law.

    On a Sunday, an Englishman a) must not shave, but b) must attend the ale house at least once.

    It dates back to the middle ages.

    Which pathetic t0ss3r considers these sorts of sockpuppets so entertaining that even 10 seconds of effort are worth spending on making them?

    I hope your owner gets banned.

    The September Surge has been a bit limp so far. By all accounts in fact the market is as limp as a dead dog that has been shot and left in a ditch. So yes, the market is crap.

    And this is how we can tell:

    a) you're not a sockpuppet;
    b) you still haven't been here long.

    You have a long, long way to fall, then recover, before you can start to compete with some of the scarred weirdos on here.

    "It's Hell out there, chaps. Damned Hell."

    How many have you applied for?

    How many interviews have you had?

    (And, therefore, what is your application / interview ratio?)

    What sort of thing are you looking for?

    Are you restricting yourself by rate / region?

    What is your gig-seeking strategy?


    Answering those will provide you with some insight and us with a chance of helping.
