It's Chriiiiiiiistmaaaaaas
December 20th, 2008Hello festive folk,
How are things? You look nice, is that a new tee shirt? Oh that’s a shame how long will it take to clear up? Did the doctor give you some cream for that?
Right now back to business, I was thinking of what to write here and as it’s Christmas I thought Id give you a little present. I’ve used all my experience and knowledge to come up with this nugget of advice, brace yourself here it comes:
Patience is a virtue.
I’ve found that not everyone can get back to you as quick as you would like and that the perfect job doesn’t appear ever day. I was wondering why I wasn’t in Heat magazine this week and then it hit me that success doesn’t happen over night and thus I came up with the notion of patience being a virtue (It’s catchy right?). I’m sorry I know that was like the time we got that horrible sweater as a present from our estranged aunt a few years ago that we took back to the Oxfam shop and demanded a refund.
I don’t really have any job related updates for you today apart from the joy of attending an office party that ended without anybody photocopying their arse which was nice. Although every other stereotype about working in an office is true. I’m going to take a break from job and work experience seeking during the Christmas season but I will report back after the New Year.
So merry Christmas everyone!
Oh and have a good New Year and that.
The Sitch (situation)
December 7th, 2008Hello good people of the web,
Right so at the moment I have a low paying job that has the require soul crushing property that all post graduate jobs seem to entail. However I obviously don’t want to be doing this till I retire. This year was supposed to be a nice relaxing year with not much responsibility which would give me the chance to focus on what I want to do with life and that. It was also supposed to let me do some work experience and sound out doing some sort of media work.
So far I have managed to complete none of these goals yet as its hard to motivate your self after working a 9 till 5. It’s also hard to find the time to do work experience when you need to pay “the man”. It would also require me cutting down my xbox playing time to just 40 hours a week which is just unacceptable. So I’m in a bit of a predicament as I need to do things that I just don’t have time to do. I was considering a masters but a nice man at the BBC told me that experience is more valuable than qualifications which makes me think it might be a bit of a waste of money for me, although It might open some doors. So I’m sill considering it. I might just flip a coin.
However the xbox in our house has just taken a stand to our constant requests to work at unreasonable times for unreasonable hours and has ended its own life. This should lead to more free time which coupled with some encouraging words I received from a magazine editor has given me some new found motivation. So it is highly likely that you will receive a CV from me as I am going to plaster it everywhere, so if you see it pass it on to who ever can help me. I will keep you updated with what’s going on and pass on any advice I gain.
Right my spider senses are tingling I believe there is a tea bag dying to be used in my kitchen.
Bye for now
