Morning, world. the #PlanForToday is fluid and noisy, because the wall for the flower bed in the garden is starting construction. Noisy, dirty and hot, our crew will be hard at work. I suspect swearing to follow. Maybe some of the patio slabs will get laid too.

Neither of those jobs yielded a result this week: despite both companies telling me I interviewed well, neither wanted me. I have another couple applications closing this coming week.

Tennis coverage starts at 13:00, should be a good semifinals, and I have a few small bits of freelance work to do: 1 JAWS script, a VBA cludge for outlook and some documentation to update for a converter I sold a year or two ago that needed an update last week.
Tonight we aim to finish season 3 of #DeepSpaceNine, we only have 2 episodes left. Life feels quite dreary just at the moment.

@cachondo Really sorry to hear about the jobs. Job market is pretty depressing a lot of the time, it seems. Did they at least tell you why?

@simon both positions had candidates with more fitting experience. I've done plenty of teaching for instance but the other candidate in the one job had taught courses from their existing provider and on the same level, etc. Not holy surprised in either instance. But frustrating all-the-same...
