Hello! Just to let you know that Ihave lined up a job at Marks and Spencer (kind of like Myer or DJ’s here) until Xmas and I have booked to fly to Amsterdam onthe 21st December with Easyjet now too so white Christmas here I come.
I have been really worried aabout stuff lately. I went for an interview for a writing job (a pretty dodgy one actually, writing all this content for those viagra, weightloss junk, sex toys…all that crap you get in your SPAM) …theres more to the company than that but its how it makes enough money to stay in business. It wouldnt have been a career move but it would have been more interesting than selling plates in M&S. I would have had to stay here for probably another 6 months. But I didnt get it (I actually felt relief, coz I don’t know what I would have done if I had. So lucky I left it to fate…_)
To be honest the idea of staying in London for another 6 months away from family, friends, SUN(!!) justdidn’t really appeal to me. London was always only ever going to be a place to base myself for a few months to wait for Christmas so I could join Hayley and Nat in Masstricht.
So as long as I don’t have a totally evil manager or old, evil colleagues I plan to make the most of my time working here….Well even if it sucks at least I know it’s not forever. i know there was a chance given with money, eventually some friends and a decent job, I may grow to love this place. But frankly where I am now, I don’t want to risk it. As boring as my job at home is, it gives me a sense of security and at least some plan for my future. I want to be an editor one day…..I think at least one more year at McGraw-HIll is going to get my closer to it.
I have wonderful friends at home….I always knew I didn’t need to come here to build a life. When I get home I feel like I can handle anything. In fact I thinkI will look at moving into a sharehouse somewhere.
I am content……
I can start my countdown for home soon too. Just deciding to do Ireland for NYE. Think I might….
Can’t wait to get back for Australian summer!!!!
