Employment, oh joy!

For practice this will be written using the proper Irish terms for things to the greatest of my abilities.

Timeline of events:

• Spent Monday mostly doing the tourist thing in Cork and Blarney. Find a cheap webcafe Monday evening; shoot my CV off to various temp agencies and whatnot. Also send out a few emails about potential non-hostel living accomodations: short-term bedsits and people looking for flatmates.
  
• Spent Tuesday walking around Cork in shoes I am not used to walking in, rubbing blisters in my heels and handing my CV in to anyplace that is recruiting. Finally go back to the hostel to rest a bit and watch some Buffy, which always makes everything better. Get a call on my mobile from a temp agency: they want to know if I can go by in half an hour to interview and fill out forms as they have something for me tomorrow. I go, fill out the forms, get a job.
• Go to check my email Tuesday evening. Get another call from a guy looking for a flatmate. Schedule to meet with him tomorrow evening.
  
• Wake up very early this morning, try to find someplace to buy a cup of coffee, fail and settle for a can of Red Bull from a newsagent. Take the bus into Ballincollig and spend the day sorting and filing papers in a small office.
  
• Mid-morning, get another call from another temp agency, arrange to go in and talk to them on Monday.
  
• Take the bus back to Cork, meet Potential Roommate (who would also in fact be the landlord). Hope I don't come across as too American or anything.
• Go back to webcafe, continue looking for potential places to live.
  

So, the score is: One week overseas, a good possibility of steady non-retail work, and a good chance of finding a non-hostel place to live within a week or so.
