I found out, when I went in to work on Tuesday, that all of those being made redundant were being offered gardening leave to conduct their job hunting. I accepted and I've been at home all this week. I've made a few applications.

I'm now going to create some Excel spreadsheets and put those scripts I wrote into them. After all that's one of the reasons I bought the laptop. Next week I'll go around the employment agencies and show them the scripts in action.

I made a discovery at the start of my job search: the monster site doesn't work on Apple Macs. It does, however, work on Windows so I applied for a couple of jobs via that site last night.
