I work on a doomed project. Like all other projects here, it is late and overbudget.

But mine is more doomed than most. It's a "slap a bandaid on an amputation", a "too little too late", a "let's pretend we're doing something" project. It involves huge COLOSSAL amounts of paperwork that NOBODY reads.

For me it's good: It fills in the gap on my CV which after 6 weeks out of work I was worrying about - it's the same client so it will just look continuous.

I arrive, work like crazy, then split to pick up my daughters from school. This lets my wife work, which she seems to enjoy. I *know* this is a sweet deal while it lasts. But...

But my time out makes it clearer than before that they are passive-agressive incompetent whining box-ticking arse-covering effort-minimising lackeys. No wonder at all that the company makes a loss. What a third rate environment.

Which brings me to my theme - the best time to find work, is while you have work.

When I've been hiring before, even with the best of resumes there is some shadow of doubt in the mind that says," if they're so good how come they've been unemployed for three months?" and then you move on to someone who's obviously employable by virtue of having a job already, as there is a stack of those. Unfair, but that's human nature.

So, note to self - better sell yourself now, than your ass later.
