Galway updated

Since moving to Galway I've found very little to write about. I like it here. Most of my previous posts tended to center on how I did not enjoy my period of incarceration in Dublin. Hence I ranted, now I have no rants left.
I guess the one of the advantages of living in Dublin is the employment. I had a brilliant job in the capital and Galway simply can't match that. I've joined temping agencies galore but so far no joy on that front. I think the frightening thing about finding work in Galway is not that there aren't any jobs but that everyone here is so qualified! I have a friend ( i know shocking) who started working as a counter assistant lately and everyone in her place of work is a qualified chef. In one of the temp positions I had recently in Customer Service all the other staff were tri-lingual at least. At least! I have trouble understanding people from Cork.
Unusually even though Galway is the third largest city in the country ahead of Limerick and behind Cork and Dublin, many of the larger shops we've grown use to have yet to arrive. For instance no H&M, no TK Maxx and no Mango. Aahh Mango...all though since I'm technically unemployed this is to be seen as a good thing...aahh Mango.
