I'm amazed no one else said it first!

Beat me to it

Quick blast this morning round the Derbyshire Peaks and then my lads school sports day this afternoon.

Barbecue and beers for tea before the weather turns.

Very nice.

I'm stuck in the office looking out of the window wishing I was on the bike.

Sat suffering after doing my back at the gym yesterday..

Fingers crossed my back and the weather sort themselves out by the weekend.

Stepped up the job hunting, problem is I really dont want another boring office job, I just sorta ended up doing admin and I dont really know how and I cant seem to get out now, feels frustrating, I wanna do something I at least have an interest in but it would seem unless I took a big pay drop which I cant afford to do im stuck in a rut and limited.

Hope you back is better soon mate!

It does seem that the jobs I would like to do pay feck all money.

either that on they say, were looking for staff to start a career in so and so, experience is required....

Or a degree...I dont have a degree, It therefore seems im incapable of doing any job.

Out of desperation of wanting to leave here I applied to Tesco as a delivery driver, got an interview, turned up only for it to be cancelled as the person was off sick, got a phone call 3 weeks after asking me to go in the next day for a work sample (bit shortnotice as I work) then just got an email to say they wouldnt be taking my application any further.

Makes me think how crap must I be that I cant get a job as a delivery driver lol, never mind I used to be a Deputy Store Manager in one of the biggest Game stores in the Country, oh how my career has nose dived

My only critera for a new job is one where im not on the phone loads, im on the phone all the time here doing cold calls, ive already made close to 50 calls this morning, I hate it, Ill do ANYTHING, I just dont wanna be on the phone anymore

It's an employers market out there. Loads of zero hour contracts on offer. Lots of poor pay rates and no incentives.

Ive resorted to emailing companies my CV speculatively even if they dont have anything advertised if its the sort thing I want to get in to along with normal applications

Wow, not seen a Jag220 for ages.

One for sale here. Only £22,000.

I think there's a typo though, as he's put £220,000. But it's an old car now, so that can't be right....

Finished the wiring for Mot prep on my mates Speed Triple, ran the Tiger up successfully and sorted out some medical stuff for mini-gee.

Going to the Parents intro evening at MG's future school this evening and our babysitter has just cried off and left us in the lurch, even though they've been sick all day and didn't have a hope of getting here, sometimes you wonder how people stumble through life on their own.

They sell for big money, but only as they are rare I assume.

Horrible car, especially inside IMO.

I do hope jaguar produce a new super car. There was talk they were going to produce this....

Then they cancelled it

Did the same route we did on the Derbyshire rideout a month or too ago but minus all the bank holiday traffic.

Had a really good blast and felt on it which is completely opposite to how I felt last Sunday in Wales. Amazing what catching up on sleep and having the right mind set can achieve.

Washed the car. Got a meeting tomorrow. Wife went to petrol station for me when I was at work and picked up a puncture. So that's an expense I wasn't expecting.

I don't know what you're upset about mate, I'd be more than happy if they produced one of these:

I've seen a mini jag being driven to and from Mira. Cant tell much about it other than it was somewhere the size of the small Audi and Bmw's. Whatever they are called.

Off to Sheffield to see a man about a machine.

It's the new XE. It's a BMW 3 series competitor. Out next year I think.
