I saw an ad on Totaljobs or some other website and emailed the named contact about it. I forgot about it completely, and only when I got a phone call today did I even remember sending my CV off! Below are the details of the job I applied for.

Now, I don't have some of the stuff they've asked for such as electronics experience but they might offer training or not care that much about it, obviously they've seen my CV, know what I have to offer and think that I may be worthwhile having. This is a boost indeed.

As well as this, I've been in discussion with another Joanne (this is getting confusing) from Elan Computing (an agency), for a job with EDS (I think), as a "PDA Specialist". From what I've managed to figure out from the vague description that Joanne could give me, it's pretty much the same as I was doing in T-Mobile's TDMS department. Hurrah. Nothing definite back from that yet, and I chased the person up today to be told that they still hadn't heard anything back. I'll give them until Wednesday afternoon and chase again.

Hurrah. Positivity again.

I got a last minute urge to head to the movies last night and went to see the last showing of The Matador (Pierce Brosnan). The film seems to be Pierce turned sleazy. That's essentially it. It's an amusing way to spend 2 hours (well... 90mins running time) but that's it.

The humour is good and constant, the storyline is interesting, but it's just not something that adds up to anyting special.
