So another couple of days, another couple of miserable days of not getting anywhere with work, jobs, house hunting, cleaning, showering, brushing teeth, etc.
Here's a bit of self loathing anyway.
So it's been another stressful week, where nothing has actually popped up. No jobs, and I was speaking to a friend who was also in the same spot. We're all in the same spot to be honest, and we're all stressing out but what I found amazing was the number of job vacancies that see you and think you're over qualified thanks to that fancy degree of yours...
There's this problem that they think we won't commit to a job because we're too over qualified and it is too much of a lesser job for us to apply.
We are applying for lesser jobs because we cannot get higher position jobs!!!!
The thing is, if you're not overqualified, then you're under experienced OR! You're under-qualified and over-experienced! What kind of balance is there?!?!?!?!
They're excuse for being over qualified is that you have the option to just up and leave for a better job. True but in these times do you think there are nearly enough jobs for people to do that?!!
Over qualified... I hate that saying now, the degree has got me nothing but rejections saying I'm over qualified.
My friends are also having the same issue, a degree has done nothing but stopped me from getting a job as well as them. I am actually better off telling them I don't have a degree.
If they ask what I've been doing for the last 3 years... In a coma.
Or maybe just been on holiday, away in another country, working with children in a third world country, or lazying about on the couch watching reality tv shows... oh god....
I know right.
So what do you think about the way people are made to reject those who have a degree for lesser jobs? And before you go "what do you mean lesser jobs?" You know what I mean, don't take offence to it, I only mean, the jobs you take as a part-timer. Come on, that is a lesser job right?... I'm digging myself a hole aren't I...? Damn...
Anywho! This week I was also going to talk about clothes shopping and about how I've put on weight I don't fit into any of my trousers any more. But that was already done by my friend Perry at his blog: Perry's Blog
However I'm not about to tell you how I'm going to come up with an exercise regime, eat less fatty food ('cause I love food) and work out like I need to compensate for something... which I do need to but I'd rather not talk about that...moving on!
However I will say, yes you can be skinny and be fat, it is possible. Eat and don't burn that stomach off, equals a lot of fat on the belly with lanky arms.
Kinda puts an image of a cartoon zombie in red and white striped boxer shorts...
nice...
But it is annoying, I have a tiny frame, I'm skinny, I'm the envy of most women, cos I can eat and not put on weight and if I do gain weight I burn it off faster than monkey on fire....
poor analogy I know...
But I cannot build muscle! Honest to god I'm doomed to forever be tiny frail and skinny. Damnit! I'll be an invalid in soon. Only good thing is I can fit in really small spaces like a suitcase or a bag.
Football!!! Or for the American audience, "Soccer".
Actually having spoken to a few of my American Amigos, we have decided that American football will forever be known as Gridiron and football shall be football!
Mainly following Liverpool FC...
Liverpool Beat Chelsea in a 2-1 victory at Stamford Bridge thanks to a superb winning goal by Glen Johnson and a brilliant move by Maxi Rodriguez earlier in the game.
Yay! ^_^
It's a shame Maxi not being chosen over Adam or Henderson, don't get me wrong Henderson and Adam are brilliant but they don't play as well with Kuyt and and aren't able to make the run into the middle when as well as Maxi, he's very good at picking the right time to pop into the box to support and always takes a cracking shot! Kuyt was always been on and off when it comes to consistency but I thought he did well playing along Bellamy and Suarez since they're all very fast paced players, they can keep up with each other and storm through a defence with maxi supporting behind. Which towards the end of last season, he had shown he was more than capable of attacking like a mad man and scoring like crazy!!
But with the acquisition of Carroll, it's put a lot of emphasis to change the game style to feed the ball to Carroll.
Again don't get me wrong, I did have my doubts about how Carroll was going to gel into the team and whether he would fit but he is getting better. Complains a bit too much and blames too much on other players on the field from the way he reacts.
King Kenny has mentioned that the price isn't an issue with what the players can bring and it shouldn't but to be honest I'm still not a huge fan of him. I know he's done a lot for Newcastle but this isn't Newcastle... no offence... much love to the Newcastle fans! Unlucky in the game against Man City, that was always going to be a tough one.
Thank you for all your players, El Toro (Jose Enrique) has been a great addition thanks :D
Can we also have Robert Taylor and Collocini please? :D
Swansea has been in Liverpools eyes as well, with the possible acquisition of Nathan Dyer in January, whether that will happen is yet to be seen. Dyer has been one of the best winger of Swansea in a while and his ability hasn't been unnoticed. However a bit of 12m would be needed to pinch this player.
Tottenham had a good game once again as they took on Aston Villa. A game that saw Aston Villa, not really put up the fight they could have and definitely not attacking the way they can.Tottenham's attack saw them fly 2-0 ahead courtesy of Adebayor leading them to a win quite comfortably, some may say.
Anyway, that's all from me this time!
I'm Andy Lai, Signing out!
