How depressing. There I was, sat at my desk thinking thoughts thoughtfully when ‘ping!’ I get an update on my messenger. My brother is currently in Thailand on a two month holiday with his girlfriend, taking a break until they can both find jobs here in the UK (she’s been trying to get a job in the legal profession for over a year after completing a postgrad in law).

However, now that Labour have announced that the recession is officially over, I’m sure they’ll have plenty of jobs to choose from when they come back.

Until then I am officially jealous.
