February Blues

I'm a bit down at the moment: for some reason February does this to me. Perhaps it's the fact that there's fuck all to look forward to in the rest of the year, like my birthday. That was just at the end of the start of January, or the start of the middle. Everyone's realised just how little money they have to get to the end of the month, and they're partied out from the festive period anyway, so no-one can afford to help you celebrate/can be bothered. Birthdays in early-mid January are awful.

Then there's the job situation: made redundant in June, job hunting since November, not even a single offer of an interview. I hate not being able to suss out the HR bullshit.

So I've upped the Open Uni work, just in case I can't get a job for a wee while. The problem is, one of the courses I've chosen, although austensibly a technlogy/engineering course, it is being studied by way more non-engineers than engineers! Managers studying for degrees in mind control, sorry, management; Business and Marketing and other such onanists with non-jobs. They've already carved up the course fora with their "aren't we the chosen ones" bullshit to the extent that a clique has formed already - the official start of the course isn't until Saturday!!!

Also, I'm trying to sell a car: and old one, one that has a high mileage, a little rust, but a good 'un none-the-less. The last MOT went without difficulty; the engine doesn't smoke nor lose oil; the electrics, bar a rear window (because there's no switch) and a headlight wiper(it's Swedish: you don't realise just how good headlight wipers are until you travel in heavy snow like we had in early December) all work; the tyres are all good and have plenty of tread; but the interior headlining has been removed because it had fallen down.

I've had a couple of enquiries from chancers who want buy it for less than it's worth as scrap - F right off.
What is it about February that sucks?
