Don’t know if I should use this or the main sad thread for the temporary ‘things I want to rage at or am frustrated by’ thread.

Through the work placement programs I'm going through as part of my unemployment benefits, I was put into a class for general jobseeking tips and CV-writing practices. During the course, the organizer flipped through some information on a website tracking job listings and registered unemployed in the area.

For my city and surrounding areas, there were somewhere around 75-80 registered listings for job openings, everything from nurse technicians to private help/nannies.

Number of registered unemployed was 240+.

If you look up government job growth figures for your city vs the number of adverts you'll probably find that the amount of hires greatly exceeds that. Most filled roles never get to the point of needing to advertise.

Getting out and meeting people who work in the field you wish to work in is as important as applying for jobs. Also, if you have contacts, then when a job is advertised, you can ask them if they know anyone in the company or know more about that company.

Still not entirely over this cold. Shit. And I have to go to an appointment in a few hours... nothing important, but it involves a bit of travel.
Going to head to the supermarket first, I reckon, to get some tea, hot chocolate and a hearty soup for breakfast, amongst other things.   

Also I seem to have forgotten all of the cool dreams I had yesterday and this morning. Dang.

My dream involved talking jelly fish and taunting the mad scientist trapping me with said jelly-boyos to the extent that he attempted to make a new alloy oit of iron and something else. I was then gping to use this alloy, the result of his pride, to make good my escape. But I woke up.

Was it iron and jelly, by chance? Irly?

I don't think dream-me took the effort to simulate the second part of the alloy. So your guess is as good as mine.

it is so hard to find a good copy of Apocalypse Now. The Redux cut is far too long and the multitude of new scenes completely break the grim and bleak atmosphere of the film by destroying tension wherever it appears, until the last 20 minutes. I have a French recut of it that adds in SOME of the scenes, but for some reason a beheaded character returns to call in an airstrike.

Oh, you mean like

that weird moment where they come across some bungalow in the jungle and stop to have a relaxing dinner with their friendly (possibly French) hosts?

I'm honestly not sure which version I watched in the first place or how many bonus scenes it had, haha. I've been meaning to re-watch it but the version on Netflix is pushing three hours... I think I'd rather watch something closer to the original and see how it compares to my (kinda hazy) memories of my first viewing.

Not quite what I meant, I have a version that was supposedly an unofficial recut for showing in France, and its sadly the closest thing to the actual original film I can find. The one on Netflix is definitely the redux version.

Does irritated count for this thread? Cuz I don’t usually come up to GD but it’s fucking frustrating when my Tourette’s makes me unable to stay in bed some nights without getting up and running around my room like fifty times and I think I wanna have a post here to bitch about it.

I would imagine a 'mildly irritated' would be fine mate. The Rage thread got nukt so it's either this or the WTF thread.

Er, no, I mean, is that scene one of the ones added in the redux version(s)?

I played To the Moon again today.

Noisy people on the train. Looks like there's at least one small child in the next carriage, so there's not much point going to the effort of moving. So much for a nice, relaxing trip with my nose in a book-- oh wait!
The worst offenders just got off a few stops before me! Though now morons behind me seem to be filling the gap. Ugh. I should really get a more portable cord for my headphones already.
