Uberdoomed in Belgium

[Unicorn]

On a personal not a national level.

Thought I had current gig sorted to March 09. Then was planning to spend 6-12 months on a sunbed somewhere.

Then the dreaded words resounded round the office BUDGET REVIEW. Xmas break might be a bit longer than planned. Fook.

Current new gigs are as common as rocking-horse excrement.

Hard luck. Give it a few months; there’s going to be so much regulation thrown at the banks before long that things will pick up.

If you can get yourself to NL there are usually a fair few contracts on this site;

On the brght sdie - Banks are the worst IT sector you can be in - never seen such a bunch of incompetent backstabbing turds.

The Best - Engineering and Research.

PS Cheers for the link Mitch - NL is such a good place to be.

A truer word was never spoken. Still, beggars can't be choosers.

You seem to have a much kinder impression of them. I never did.

Alfie my friend, how are you?

Remember Poetry day and W. H. Auden?

Well I didnt care much either for the cloggies - but made a few bob in my time there - I heard theyve shutdown the smart shops and looking at closing down the cofeeshops - so yeah youre probably right - still I had a good laugh in retrospect.

Thanks...

..for the link Mich.

Currently it checking out. Sadly when coming to Belgium I decided to try and learn French not Dutch. Not the best when looking at NL.

Aye McBain

Good to hear from you again !

The Friday Poetry Corner is alive and well and was published today - alas !

Folks dont seem to have much interest in poetry these days .

How are you keeping ?



'Why do you want to write poetry?' If the young man answers, 'I have important things I want to say,' then he is not a poet. If he answers, 'I like hanging around words listening to what they say,' then maybe he is going to be a poet."
