The Luck of the Draw
Gutsy Grad ― I don't know whether I was green with envy or just plain sick but the number of high end designer coats I handled yesterday was insane. It was Dolce & Gabanna after Prada after Burberry, and so much fur; god knows how many dead animals I hung on... (more)

Selling My Soul

No Job, No Benefits...No Nothin'

Am I Just A Number?
Gutsy Grad ― I really don't want to be done for libel but I'm about ready to turn an unfamiliar shade of puce and start yelling awful things on the streets of London about a particular company we shan't name here. It seems to me that not only do jobseekers have... (more)

Rose Tinted Spectacles?
Gutsy Grad ― My friends and I have decided that buses, men and job interviews are all alike: None turn up for ages and then they all come along at once. After applying for so many jobs I lost count, I now have two very useful agencies working to find me a job,... (more)

Spam Attack!
Gutsy Grad ― So I just found out that I've been fooling myself all along. The hundreds of views which I was so proud to be racking up on my page count are mostly something evil called referer spam. OOOOH I hate spam - whether it's electronic, paper or meat based,... (more)
