Just got back into London. Skies are grey again. I forgot, but remembered again as travelling on the train - I could not tell if it was morning,noon, or evening... no sun!
I am staying in a big, but fairly quiet and very cheap hostel outside of London. Because it is a pretty good deal there are many people here who are looking for work. People looking for work are from the U.K., Brazil, Sweden, Denmark etc. Alot are hoping to improve their English skills. This was also the case in Ireland.
Anyway there are also quite a few older people as well. When I got into my room today I met a guy with an English accent in his 50s who was going for a nap. He had spent the day trying to find a 'fng' job. Going to lots of 'fng' places, but you cannot get an 'fng' job when you get to my age.
He said there were lots of jobs on construction sites, but he was too old for that.
He was going to the office tomorrow to see if he can get on the Dole and register for some IT training.
The best job idea he has right now is to sign up for medical experiments. This is what he was saying. He was keen on the idea as he did one for 4 weeks before and made alot of money in a medical trial taking anti-depressants and then reporting on side effects. Here room and board was also included in the hospital or university where he did it.
