Finding jobs is easy. Actually getting them... well...

I feel as if I've been neglecting Sausage and Mash but turns out that I've only been away for 4-days.  And in those 4-days I've been trying to sort out a proper job for myself to see me through my unthriftful nature.  I don't think that I'll never be able to find a job because I can fall back on my engineering degree, and even then I'm trying to whittle down my choices by being located in London.  The major problem I see is actually getting the job I want to have - maybe I'm being picky, but I suppose that if I try for those and fail then I know where to go from there on.  I'm not worried about rejections because I'll be expecting them, but it will grate me if the companies don't reply, especially seeing as I've taken the effort to stay old-fashion with snail-mail of CV and cover letters.  I'm sure everyone still likes to have receive a letter that isn't a bill or junk mail.

I've been playing Messiah on the PC, which I had started a long time ago and got stuck because I was crap at games then.  Now, I've managed to get further although it managed to crash on me, then noticed the time and thought it was a sign for me to stop playing, which I did and set off to bed.  The premise is that you control a Bob, a chubby baby angel, who's been sent down a futuristic Earth to sort out the mess we're in.  You can possess characters and run around in their bodies to help complete your mission.  So far, so good - a proper review will be posted soon.

Also playing Full Spectrum Warrior.  Now, the reason I got thise, besides it said to be a great game, is that: (a) it was £4 at CEX, (b) it is Xbox Live enabled (i.e. I can play multiplayer online).  Hazzah! I thought - it was a bargain that I couldn't pass up.  But I was disappointed when I tried Online to find that there was nobody playing, nobody had set up any games.  I had better experience with Top Spin but not by much - only one or two games set up and nobody wanting to join my game - so I'm kind of thinking that I've joined Xbox Live a little bit late.  Well, especially seeing as Live has been solidly running for a couple of years and that the Xbox360 is just round the corner.

The experience was a bit off-putting, and I don't want to get my online fix with Halo2 because I've read so many bad things about it lately - mainly the screaming/annoying US teenagers to be found on the servers.  I'm thinking that I may well have missed out on a lot of fun, and am going to have to wait until I get an Xbox360.
