| My séjour is nearly over, now, and
I'm feeling pretty good. Paris makes me happy! I'm really enjoying my
job: working on a feature to mark the second series of 'Gavin + Stacey'
going to terrestial - cue discovering the second series via internet
telly. It's called Research, people, so technically it's unpaid
overtime!
Plus I am between two sets of visitors: this weekend, two
high-school girlfriends came, we saw Monet's waterlily paintings, ate
pastries, had steak and red wine and realised we're all now 'young
professionals'... Funny... Bit like discovering you're starring in an
episode of 'This Life'.... Perhaps I need to reinstate the line between
'TV' and 'Real Life' again. But it's funny how having familiar people
in a strange city helps you relax a bit.
I'm going to miss Paris, but I'm so so happy with the thought of
being back in the country - merely a trainride from all my favourite
people. I'm back on the job-hunt (boo) and have so far been offered a
first-stage interview with a tutorial school in Bristol (yay). Wouldn't
be in media/journalism, but it still looks an interesting full-time
role. I'd be working in education, with kids, helping kids read good,
maybe teaching book-esque things; I'd be in a team, hopef work with
people my age, get responsibility, etc etc etc. All those things would
keep me happy and busy.
So I'm not too depressed by my job prospects - let's face it, I could get getting the boot from Citigroup. How about the rest of you, how's it going? ...Dying to hear about your successes and frustrations in the job market. Leave comments? |
