Good for you ortho!
I talked to 2 recruiters yesterday. One is from my old company that placed me at my last job. There going to see about getting me placed back with that company or a new one if they can. The 2nd recruiter is going to try to get me a job making 17/hr which is better than the old pay I was getting and better than the pay I would get with my previous company. Only issue is that it is farther away and I might spend more just getting to and from work. We'll see, it may not be too bad if I get a shift avoiding rush hour. I meet with the 2nd recruiter tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I've been writing my lifestyle blog for ... going on 2.5-3 yrs now....
today I got my very first 'real' ping back/link/reference from a another blogger I don't even know, on a piece I wrote in response to another blog post debunking BBC article on "How to Eat £1 a Day" (both of us thought the original BBC piece was crap) I've had the odd one or two comments from family members or friends, but this is the first 'real' - someone in the great wild world out there noticed. It's a silly thing to be chuffed about ... but I am ![]()

No, a great thing to be chuffed about!
Well done you for having good writing recognised. My happy also comes from the media. Nothing written by me, just a salute to my good taste. Well, me as part of a triumvirate. We stay at The Alamo when we have our pantomime GTG every year. Lonely Planet magazine this month gave it a mention. We're so cool we didn't even know it.

With or without the happy ending?
I actually didn't ask. I didn't think it would be polite.

So. I got pulled over by a cop yesterday. Yes, I was speeding. 43 in a 25 is what he growled at me ... next to a school. He came up for the license and registration bit. Asked me if I knew why I got pulled over ... usual stuff. I fessed up. Went back to his cruiser with my ID while I sweated it out .... came back and told me to slow it down. Thank you nice officer. I will respect your generous warning!

The interview with the recruiter went very well today! I only missed one question on their assessment test and the recruiter told me that I presented myself very well. He had some great tips for my resume and for my future interviews with employers. I think he will be a great help to me getting placed in a good job.

After Nirvana posted 'Fabulous O!' some time ago, I made that my work password for the next 90 days. It made me giggle to type it.
