Almost

I almost got a job today, but it couldn't be possible finally. I went to an employment agency last Tuesday, the first time I try one. I sent the cv because they were looking for someone fluent in Spanish. It was a telemarketer job: phone people to convince them to buy something. I had to phone companies to sell them software, something ridiculous coming from me as I use free software (and I put it on my cv -maybe that's why they didn't like it, haha). The bad thing is that it wasn't very well paid and the office was very far from where I live. Really far, in fact out of Manchester. I didn't like the idea of spending half of my day and my wages in going to work but at least it was something to start with and I wouldn't have minded to do it for few weeks or a couple of months. It was temporary anyway. The guy from the agency was quite convinced about getting the job but apparently the company has found someone else by itself. So I'm fucked up and still looking. I'll try other agencies this week to see if I am luckier.

As for the rest, there is little else to tell. I like Manchester city centre and all its old and new buildings. Last weekend I went to the (Afro)Caribbean Carnival which takes place every year. It was funny although not too funny when you are alone. The weather wasn't bad on Saturday but it rained the night before and it was quite muddy. There were colourful and noisy amateur performances. Plenty of leaves, bright clothes, amazing costumes... I was entertained for a while.

I also saw the other day the first MacDonalds Mac-auto of the UK here in Manchester. You can imagine how bored I am to be here telling you these things hahaha. Well, I also went to visit Chester and I think it is very beautiful. Lovely to spend one day and see it, but living there must be a boredom torture. You know, like Oxford but even worse. Or like being jobless in Manchester, but even worse. Well, no, not worse than this...
