I handed in my CV last week regarding a new position I was very interested in applying for. So far, I've seen nothing that suggests I would be ruled out and even better, today I got an email asking if I would mind travelling for up to six weeks? The answer is "of course not!" as I'd love to head back to where our clients are. It's a great part of the world with good opportunities for sight-seeing, shopping, meeting new people etc. plus I'd get an opportunity to see if I could meet up with V again.
I'm trying not to get too excited about it all, but there is a part of me that is getting a little optimisitc about the whole thing.

Bah.
Well, perhaps unsurprisingly, my work colleague has not decided to go apartment hunting with me and has instead found a few friends of his own who are looking for a place to live. Back to the house/flat sharing websites for me, then.
The work thing is still on the card, though I require permission from my boss to apply for it and then I have to go for it... fill in my CV etc.
Socially, I've not done much apart from see my cousin this week for the first time in ages. I am hoping that things might get better socially within the next few weeks though.
Dating is still a washout... not surprisingly really as my social life is so poor. I'm still expecting things to take an upturn when I find a place to live.

Woo! (Woo?)
I'm trying not to get too excited, but things might just be looking up after the somewhat disappointing second half of 2008 (and you only know the half of it, dear reader).
An ex-colleague/friend recently announced he was house hunting, albeit with a friend, but has been receptive to the two of us hunting out a place together as his mate is starting to consider other options. Starting tomorrow probably, I will be investigating seriously the possibility that we hunt out a place... possibly something rather groovy and preferably very soon.
In addition to that, there is the possibility that life might become more interesting professionally (and that's a good thing in general if RB was correct all those months ago when we talked about my industry), but that's all going to rely on a chat with my boss about promotion opportunities.
There's also a couple of offers on the table regarding travel and stuff that will make the first quarter of 2009 quite exciting, if a little expensive! Nothing really on the dating front either... as mentioned in previous posts, the social life has been extremely quiet over the past month or so (even over Christmas, sadly). Still, I'm meeting up with a cousin at the weekend for many, many drinks, which might be the start of more socialising.

A thought regarding girls who take their own photo using a mirror
I mean, for fuck sake, can you not read the instruction manual? Use the self timer, it's not fucking rocket science! Yes, you look nice... yes, your pants are very nice and you are using an inventive way to cover your tits. You look like a fucktard for carrying the camera while trying to strike a sexy pose though, just like these girls.
Well, OK then, I will sleep with you, but only because you asked nicely.
