When I got back from my travels, whilst Damo was whinging about the employment situation and I suspect didn't have one interview, I got knocked back from sainsburys recruitment, even though I got 100% in the test I did, and also the same for asda stacking shelves. Both jobs, alot of younger people got the jobs instead. I also then went through an agency to order pick in a wharehouse. How depressing that was. getting told by some lad who was training us that it doesn't matter now that we've failed the education system, but least we now get decent pay. The thing is, least I tried. I was trying everything. I would have settled for been a dustbin man, even when people were taking the mickey saying "you gone to uni to do this". I thought to myself, yes but is better than claiming from the British public like alot of graduates are now doing.

I think that sort of experience and ethos will stand you in good stead in the future, I worked for the civil service for 4 years after school. decided i wanted to get into sales, and first one didn't work out, rather than lurch straight into something else i enrolled with an agency, they threw a mixed bag of work at me, most of the time either flogging 'pop' for Britivic or doing security for the council checking (meant to be) empty council houses on 12 hour night shifts around the broadleas / whythers, if neither of those needed me i did everything from said picking and packing, and lugging gas bottles about for calor gas in the snow, the jobs ranged from the enjoyable to the cushy to the soul destroying to physically demanding, but I really enjoyed that year of temping until i found something that i wanted to do and they wanted me, i met lots of good people who's paths i might not of crossed otherwise, I learnt some stuff along the way and i actually ended up doing ok cash wise as i was doing lots of hours and the agency looked after me because they knew i would work
That year probably didn't look the glitziest on my CV but I could enthuse about it genuinely in interviews and I am sure a willingness to work did me no harm, I still look back on it fondly as a really good experience
2005, and if Ben isn't in civil partnership with you im sure he will find love in BRAIL
