Day 886

Prepared for the 'restart'. My deliberate new policy of being relaxed worked a treat. I got a poacher-turned-gamekeeper ex-fellow-jobless-graduate, we even had a few laughs. While he was fetching a form I sneaked a look at my records upside down across the desk (again). 'Client very negative' it said, about my last visit. But I had laughed while looking at the job boards, '£4000 per anum' read one of them, loosely translatable as '£4000 up the arse'. So I was in such a good mood I made vague promises to go to a voluntary 'job review workshop' on Oct 6th.

In the library spotted a cluster of girls from my old school; they seemed so small! And fashions have changed. Times have moved on.
