I extended my stay here at the Safestay Hostel, and for some reason this involved me shifting rooms. I’m not convinced that their system is actually that good at keeping track of available rooms & bookings and so on –…

Round Here
OK, there’s not really any news; Jobhunt not going well, urge to punch recruiters for being shit-useless steadily rising, and I really have no clue what to do about it. Still, it’s a nice photo of the castle, I thought.…
