{ jobs and percival and delicious and stuff }

[the_muppet]

1) job fair: Went to my first ever job fair last Thursday which was quite interesting. It was absolutely packed. Didn't find any jobs that interested me, as they were mostly sales-orientated or in private care work, but it did make me then go home and subscribe to some of the online job sites, and also set a meeting with a company called Next Step in the hope that they can help me set up a CV. Will keep you posted on any developments.

2) nose: Had my follow-up nose check-up a couple of weeks ago and it's all healing nicely and I don't have to go back for another three months.

3) delicious: Much as I don't really like the new changes to Delicious, I am (for now) keeping my account there so if anyone wants to check out my Delicious tags, there's a link below. I also have accounts with Diigo and Pinboard, so links below to those too:

4) percival: Peter and I were excited to see that Percival has had some actual lines in this new series of Merlin, though slightly disappointed that he doesn't talk like a Sheldon impersonation of The Hulk. See below to see what I mean:

So now, whenever Percy speaks in Merlin, Peter and I automatically translate whatever he says into Hulk talk, whilst slamming our fists together. It's highly entertaining!

5) lj: I REALLY HATE this new font they're using for writing/editing entries. It's too small and it's ugly.


Hope you're all okay; have a lovely weekend ♥

Hahaha, I would love if Percival talked like Hulk!Sheldon! :D

He does. In my head. And in my lounge every Saturday when I dub over everything he says.

*laughs tears* That's priceless! And incidentally the same voice I use when I mock Jared Padalecki O.o

Word.

HA! Yes, Jared too! Hulk!Percival is highly entertaining and everyone should dub him like we do when they watch the show.

Glad to hear that the healing is going well! *clings*

Oh which sites do you subscribe to? I will look up for a job in the UK next year, when things calm down here, so I'm always interested in hearing new things that might help.

*HUGS*

At the moment, it's Monster Jobs, Reed, Total Jobs and Hays, though I sometimes browse other ones too. They're the main ones I'm watching, though.

Good luck!

*hugs*

I hope the new sites work out for you **hugs** And I'm really happy to know that everything is going well with your nose, too!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks lovely; hope things are going well with you ♥

I think next time you watch Merlin, you should dub Percival so he becomes Hulk!Percival, and see how much more entertaining that is =)

*hugs*

Job fair and CV update

[ms-3m.livejournal.com]

Ooo! I'm so excited to read about the job-hunt steps that you've taken!

As I've read, job-hunting is a job in itself. One just has to take it calmly and methodically and it looks you are doing just that.

Also, it's a good think to always ask friends, casual acquaintances, etc. if they know of any job openings. Story: I attended a small cocktail party one time and casually made a comment that if anyone knew a company that was looking for a (said tongue-in-cheek) smart, outgoing, hard-working person with a great telephone voice...that I was looking for a job. Well, that comment wound up leading to a job interview and position that I kept for several years. I only lost that job because the person I was working for retired. So you never know!

*HUGE hugs*

I'm certainly trying, despite all the limitations there are to me actually finding anything - won't stop me looking though =)

That's good advice and I'll certainly use it; thank you =)

*hugs loads*

I hope you are able to find a new job hon, one you'll be happier at.

i'm glad you're nose is doing well :)

i don't like the new font either.

have a great weekend as well hon :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It's going to be hard to find something new - there's lots of limitations to it which I've not really talked about (so as not to bore anyone!) but I'm certainly going to ook and try =)

That font is bloody awful - I can only hope people are complaining and that they change it back.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thank you =)

[deirdre-c.livejournal.com]

Yay for healing! So glad you're coming along so well.

Also, I'm still hoping to hear about the Horrible Dream I featured in!

[chaosmaka.livejournal.com]

*keeps fingers crossed for the future job*

I'm glad it's healing nicely, bb :)

And LJ and their changes... I don't get it... no one wants this! :(

Congratulations sweetie for taking the first step regarding a new job and yay for not having to go back for your nose!

Me? I was unlucky enough to catch a cold and now I am coughing like mad and my nose is stuffed. Eugh and no new Doctor Who to cheer me up. Guess I have to watch some old episodes...

[ansku]

So it's not just me who's annoyed with the new Delicious... Some of those changes make absolutely no sense at all! On the other hand, I hadn't noticed any change in LJ fonts, but I guess I'm so used to writing stuff on so many different programs that I might not notice that kind of thing at all :)

I'm still waiting to see my first glimpse of Percival at all, and wondering just when they are planning to air the third series here at all... probably not before January, or maybe next summer :/ I'll try to keep the voice thing in mind, though, so I won't be disappointed whenever we get to the fourth series :)

Congrats on the nose, and good luck with the job front :) *squeezes*

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

Sounds like going to the job fair was a positive thing. I'm proud of you for taking the initiative :)

I'm happy to hear your nose is healing nicely.

Sheldon cracks me up! :D

*hugs*
