The Decade so far

Get my first decent job & have some spare cash
Join my first decent band after not playing live for about 20 years
Resign from job, due to a variety of reasons including some health issues and toxic boss.
Sign on dole
Discover that I am virtually unemployable (I have a fairly extensive set of ITC skills)
Try to make a living with band & other music stuff instead.
Get radio play & all sorts but basically no money.
Try to get work to fill in the gaps. Nothing….
Stay in apart from gigs & the odd drink, get £10 pounds of diesel a week to stay mobile.
Work on music practice around 3 hours a day. Do a bit of developing (php, Json, sql Cms web & db & so forth) stuff to keep my hand in.
get occasional call re my CV, which is with various employment agencies.

Conversation always go’s sort of like this:

Agency: “I have a fantastic match for you” , “I would really like to put your CV forward, whats you availability” , “Can you do an interview tomorrow or the next day”

“Have you 5 years experience of ($blabla; Answer “yes I did $blabla & also $blabla++ : ” reply “Fantastic I will put your CV forward now and give you a call back in the next few minutes”….

Ring Ring Ring “hello” , “Sorry forgot to ask can you also give the boss a blow job during coffee breaks & do you have 3 years experience” “yes no problem”

No more phone calls….

Back to Piano practice….. ..

Riing, Ring, Ring there go’s the phone…
