A ’sculpture’ at Kingston.
No relation to the song chorus that went:

This is the closest our little take-away restaurant has come to gaining nation-wide publicity. This article was published by The Guardian on January 7th, 2006. If you can find the reference to ‘Chinese’, that’s us!

Received a letter this morning.
Didn’t get the job. No one else did.
The position had ‘fallen away’ due to a restructuring of the department.

Trying not to be disappointed. I now going to give equal importance to my job search as well as the completion of my graphic design studies. That is what’s keeping me ’sane’ as it has more frequent short-term satisfaction from superficially ‘good’ grades of my courseworks.

Praise God.
