Feeling Better

Ibuprofen certainly dulls the headache, but it doesn't solve the weird feeling when I stand up. Still, the nosebleeds have stopped, and the throat feels a lot better. I've even been eating a little bit, and should be back at work tomorrow.
I got an email today saying "The decision has been made not to shortlist your application on this occasion due to an unsuitable background for this specific role" - a total surprise for me, as it was for a job as a Web Designer/Developer. They wanted "candidates with varying leveles [sic] of experience" with "experience in web design, content creation,search engine optimisation,database applications etc.Skills in HTML,CSS and ideally some knowledge/exposure to ASP/PHP/Javascript/DHTML." Yes, I hear you cry, I can do all that (okay, so I've only toyed with ASP and not used it anywhere near as much as PHP). But I'm not bitter. It looked like a bulk rejection email, I shouldn't take it personally. And it was based in Buckinghamshire.
Kev scored a higher quirkyalone core than me (he got 104), but I'm sad to say my BMI (Body Mass Index) was lower than a friend of mine, apparently I'm underweight (even though I knew that) and "Weight loss offers no health benefits" - isn't that what the word underweight implies?!?
Kev currently has his MSN name set to Master and Commander - One boat chases another boat. That's it. For 2 hours. which reinforces my decision not to watch it because it looked crap. Maybe when he's here we can go to the Odeon more often and only watch good films.
