Job hunting can be fun

I am trying to find a job to fill the 98% of my life where I have no university commitments and upon searching the internet I came across a thread which was relevant to my interests.

The title was "Estimator".

Brilliant! I wonder what estimating involves? Just making everything up? I'm pretty sure I could make stuff up. I would like this job to involve sitting at a desk in the centre of the universe and having people from all over the world calling me with inane questions like so:

Estimator

(One of many crude paint/google image cartoons to come)

I opened the advert and it said this: "A role is available within their estimating department. The client would like to considered candidates who can demonstrate a proven track record providing an estimator role within a build environment."

Written obviously in estimated language using estimated words. Of course the advert is only an estimate, and not necessarily accurate in describing the job.

The hunt continues.

Dear Pizza Hut

I had an inspired dream the other day to help Pizza Hut along with their rebranding. I dreamt that after telling them Pasta Hut is a shit idea, I told them that to keep current and up-to-date they should print newspaper headlines on the pizza crusts. It wasn't received well, so I woke up.

In other news I am in some kind of origami hippie nightmare. My house is littered with paper swans, folk music, deer hunters, feathers, Charlie Chaplin DVD boxsets and balls of yarn. I often wonder how people can get any pleasure at all from the aforementioned. Oh yeah and Seinfeld is shit too.

Bye!

Awkward first post

Hello.

My name's Mike, and I decided to start a new blog where I tell you what you should find funny, pleasing and otherwise good. It will have nothing boring in it and will be punctuated and capitalised properlY?

Great!
