Glad that the end of was great, Peter, and good luck on the job research. And one that doesn't try doesn't have a chance, so it's a good thing to apply anyway and you never know for the programming job; fingers crossed, in any case. Both graduates, you look great.

Heh, I've always been known as the "whale" of Chaos ;D I certainly could stand losing 20 pounds - as I put on quite a bit this year - but I betcha Elliot will think again before calling me the great white whale Funnily, though, I use a size XL over here and when I bought some clothes in New York I had to use a size medium, which was almost too big. Guess those Damn Americans are fatter than your average european

Thanks all for the well wishes. I've been job hunting these past days and have applied for three so far with a fourth coming on Monday. Unfortunatly there's a lack of relevant work in my area, so I decided to branch out a little. The first job I applied for was a a programmer. I specialised in ASP.NET 2.0 using C# and those are the exact qualifications the company is looking for so that's cool. But that was the only job that catered to my qualifications so I decided to apply for two jobs as an internet supporter. It's not strictly within my qualifications there'll be a learning period and I should be able to handle the job. In fact, I already have an interview with one of the companies on Tuesday. Then I've heard of another place in my city that needs supporters and I am going down there on Monday to apply - might as well find a lot of interesting places and apply. Now, economy wise it IS extremely important to find work asap. I'm a member of the union and thereby entitled to reviece unemployment money when I graduate. The problem is, though, that graduates are locked from unemployment money for one month after graduating and then the money will be paid backwards. That means that I graduated on June 22nd and won't be able to reviece money until the month after. AND those money won't be paid until August 22nd. That pretty much means I will have NO money to pay rent or anything else until then. Then I talked to the welfare office but they require that I start some cleaning job at elder homes to be on welfare. That's all good and I would be willing to do that - but I can't. They don't think I'll have the time to get trained because it's such a short period. That option is closed to me as well. The only option, besides getting a bank loan, is to go on the small welfare - that would mean I'd get a minimal amound AND that it'd all have to be returned the instant I'm entitled to unemployment money from the union - meaning if I got the money now I'd have to pay them all back on July 22nd. The guy I talked to advised me to get a bank loan because it'd be futile with the welfare anyway. So - I need a job

Getting a job is a hassle at best, so good luck! BTW: I took a look at that picture of you graduating, and the chick looks hot. To bad that phat guy in the green shirt is ruining the picture. <--- remember it's all good.

That's cool about the interwiew and job applications, at least, and I wish you that it works out; same for the money. The wish, not that it's cool. And fingers crossed so you can solve these without having to deal with institutions, too, if it's workable to avoid it somehow.

Congrats Pete, you do look great, no overweight to see there Ubs, congrats to you as well, but is this the Swedish uniform for the navy or something? ;D The suit is an ordinary suit. The hat is the traditional Swedish graduationhat which everyone (and I mean everyone) wears when they graduate from Gymnasium. Most pepole do nowadays though. It was different when my father graduated (I think he graduated...) though. Übereil

Übereil Not that I cherish agreeing with ube, but the suit is fine. pretty standard suit and a lot of people wear one when graduating. The hat is also used in Denmark and it's the standard hat used in the Gymnasium indeed.
