Endless Holiday: Of Geography And The Weather

http://manseekswork.blogspot.com/2012/04/weather.html

Tuesday, 3 April 2012. Of Geography And The Weather. WAS ONCE told that people who live by the sea are naturally dreamers or romantics, because they have miles of uninterrupted horizon to contemplate. It’s not the same for bike riders. So I look for my inspiration away from these organised events. Poring over maps or Googling obscure destinations brings out the pioneer spirit. But then I discovered something that broke my heart. This year I was heading out to the Alps in mid-June.and even having a go...

Endless Holiday: February 2009

http://manseekswork.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Friday, 20 February 2009. Postal Workers - A User's Guide. HERE ARE SOME of the most common questions received from members of the public about their local postal service:. The postman never closes my garden gate. Surely he should be sacked or, at the very least, prosecuted and jailed for this? First of all, you have to remember that you are not actually a. So a responsible postie will always seek to lean his bike against a wall or hedge, rather than risk having it topple over onto someone's cat whilst h...

Endless Holiday: November 2011

http://manseekswork.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Thursday, 10 November 2011. Lost In The Supermarket. THERE ARE TWO security guards manning the reception counter at my local Job Centre. They are grim-faced and uniformed. They serve to extinguish any faint, remaining vestiges of hope in the faces of anyone who walks through the door. Even police stations and hospitals are more welcoming. We are all viewed as scum, our past histories in respectable occupations counting for nothing. Here, we are all treated equally. This is patently ridiculous. As ever, I...

Wednesday, 28 November 2007. From The Margins Of Society. SEASONAL FACTORY OPERATIVE, 8.30 – 4.30 Monday to Friday. That’s what the advert said. How difficult can packing smoked fish be?

So, let’s get this straight, you are interviewing me for a completely different job from the one which I applied for, with drastically different hours? I’ve also been rejec...

Endless Holiday: Postman To The Living Dead

http://manseekswork.blogspot.com/2009/02/postman-to-living-dead.html

Wednesday, 18 February 2009. Postman To The Living Dead. Residents eagerly anticpate the arrival of the postman. The people we deliver to are, generally, a bunch of halfwits. They are the living dead. Their brain cells - in this part of the world anyway - have been eroded by too much alcohol or drugs, or crushed beneath the burden of living in such a blighted shithole. Of the thousands of addresses I have delivered to since last summer, I cannot think of any where the occupant has had a. Hi, I'm your pos...

Endless Holiday: What I Did On My Summer Holiday...

http://manseekswork.blogspot.com/2011/08/what-i-did-on-my-summer-holiday.html

Thursday, 4 August 2011. What I Did On My Summer Holiday. Posted by Trevor Ward. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The story so far: I've been rejected for jobs as a part-time council typist(because I couldn't produce my English GCSE Certificate from 1976), a carrot picker(because my CV included my photograph), and a part-time tour guide(because I couldn't afford the £250, two-day, 1,000-mile round-trip to a preliminary "10-minute" interview). My endless holiday continues here. View my complete profile.
