The Sitch (situation)

Hello 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 wantto 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 40hours 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

God, I had a shock then, I thought that guy say his mate had just died. Double take.

Yeah I'm temping at the mo... I feel your pain when it comes to scouring the job pages after a day staring at a screen getting a numb brain and backside.

Who's your mate at the Beeb then, high-flyer?
