In which I get a job (again)

Name badge #2

It was around this time last year I was just finishing after a few weeks at a temporary job. I spent the next few months looking for work and half a million applications later I actually got one.

I don’t think I was looking for another job but one unsuspecting afternoon at the start of September I saw a link on Twitter about a job, I clicked on it and decided to see if unaformentioned company had any local openings and they did. I quickly filled the form in and forgot about it. I was so used to rejection after the first half of the year I didn’t expect to hear back from them.

Then I got a phone call. Which led to an interview. Which lead to a job.

So, for the end of 2011 I had two jobs. It soon became apparent I couldn’t do both, I didn’t have time for anything else. Sure the money was handy but while I was working all but one day of the week I wasn’t going to spend my limited time off looking for other jobs. Likewise if I kept both I wasn’t going to go anywhere in either.

There were a few reasons I chose the latter job over the former, reasons I won’t go into here, but after three months of not-much-but-work I finally find myself with free time again.

Free time to spend doing something constructive, finding work I want to do and preparing for whatever lies ahead.

Or, as it would rather appear; sleeping far too long, watching crap-loads of naff films on Netflix and writing for a blog noone reads.
