... and it's nowt to do with the City/United result (guess that was a "little ray of sunshine" for today !). Unfortunately got the "thumbs down" on a job that would have been right up my street (ticked all the right boxes with qualifications, knowledge, experience - but didn't even get shortlisted !). A bit of a "kick in the teeth" to put it mildly - have been onto them to try and get some feedback - I must be going wrong somewhere, and I need to know why - and quickly. The last wage packet is in the bank - the pathetic redundancy lump sum is still to arrive (Simon Carves are obviously hanging onto that until the very last minute - b*st*rds !) - and parts of the body are starting to twitch. January 26th is starting to loom rather large ...
But to cheer everyone up - here's a picture of a nice shiny handpump - still grappling with the new compact but ... it's coming ...
Why not play "Guess the Pub ?" or "Which Greenfield Brewery Beer Is It ?" ... there's always football tomorrow I guess - and after a long long wait for something local, it looks like (weather permitting !) there will be two options on the same bloody night - Glossop North End v Mossley (Manchester Premier Cup) and Stalybridge Celtic v Corby Town (FA Trophy) - but with me heading seriously for the JobCentre in 7 days time - and having a complimentary ticket to Stalybridge following the "back-breaker" last Friday - it's a bit of a no-brainer really. To make matters worse, this coming weekend Mossley are (probably) at home to Woodley Sports thanks to the sterling efforts of Steve last weekend (see previous post) - me - at a family gathering in Belper. So that's me heading towards "persona non grata" at Mossley if I'm not careful !
Life is becoming a bit of a ball-ache at the moment ...
