Finally the wait is over, I got the job! I received the call this afternoon and I can tell you it was relief of monumental proportions!
I shall shortly be returning to full time, grown up employment. Oh god, am I ready for that? Ah, what the hell. I’ll be fine… my cv says so! he he.
On a slightly more serious note, I’m really quite pleased with myself. It’s been a while since I’ve had to impress anyone (well, apart from my boyfriend of course). When you’re in a job that slowly turns your brain to soup, it’s difficult to summon up the energy, enthusiasm or even the right shoes to make you feel worthy of a new start. That’s pretty much what happened to me at my current (but not for long) job. You slip into that safety zone where you get used to a regular wage, which for this part of the country isn’t bad. It means you get to do all the stuff outside of work which is much more fun but generally involves money. Pretty things aren’t cheap you know and there are so many delights to be had, what’s a girl to do!
Well, I’ve now secured a job that appears to be both varied and challenging (which is company speak for “sometimes you’ll hate this job just think of the shoes you can buy at the end of the month”) and the salary is ok. I’m obviously worth a whole lot more but to be fair they still have to show a profit after I’ve been paid so I guess it’s a little pushy to name my price. The people seem nice and I hope I get make some more great friends. Oh, and I really hope they have a sense of humour. You’ll be amazed how many people have it removed thinking it’ll save money, much like a water meter!
Anyway, I’m quite sure there’ll be lots more on this topic so I’ll leave it there. I have to go and source new shoes and bags now, I mean, it is a new job after all and I feel it’s my duty to look good for the nice people who gave me a job! Yay!
