Looking at this on paper (laptop screen) it doesn't really look that exhaustive but after the 100 odd CVs sent along side tailored cover letters for each one applied it was pretty tiring. Taking into account I was living in a shit shared flat with 8 dustmen/unemployed people with no laptop/computer, mod cons or social interaction every inch seemed a mile.

By coinsidence I got told I had to move out with no where to go, got offered the job I wanted and then moved in with best friends into a great house within the same 4 days... That wasn't a bad week.
