This is a little later than planned… I’m sure no one is surprised.<\/p>\n
Here’s a little summary of my current job.
\nI wake at 5.45am, when it is so early that it’s actually cold. I get the bus to the city, mainly with people in gym kits. I arrive at work. No one says good morning. Everyone continues to dice chicken\/make toast\/count money. I stand at the till. And I stand there. And I stand there. Occasionally, the odd customer will recognise that I am a human and will have a conversation with me. Usually, they just want coffee. It’s not all bad, of course; I get fed, sometimes when it’s quiet the kitchen staff come and stand with me for company, it pays the rent. But really I’m one step up from a McDonalds worker. Not even a step. A tiny little stumble over an ever-so slightly (best call health and safety) raised bit of pavement.<\/p>\n
And then, in the space of two days, everything changed.<\/p>\n
I got a new job. Sean got a new job. We found a new house. We’re pet owners again!<\/p>\n
My new job is worlds away, and I’m actually a little sad that I have to wait five days before I can get stuck in again. Although a lot of the time I’m running to the dry cleaners or steaming dresses or writing address labels, I don’t think I could have found a nicer environment to do it in. My boss is considerate and wants to teach me everything; she values my opinion too, which is so refreshing for someone who’s worked in hospitality forever. Oh, the office is air conditioned too. HOORAH.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow we move house again. The new place has cats called Crookshanks and Bellatrix. Well I just about lost my mind when I saw them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
