What A Good Day (For A Change.!)
Apr. 1st, 2009 12:36 amI'm looking for a cloud of magpies to descent from the sky with their thieving beaks, as a decent amount of good luck appears to have congregated in one place at one time and hasn't turned out to be a false dawn full of shite...
As I've mentioned, I have been working a pretty cushy job at Manchester Council, it's been great generally and a massive boost to my confidence.
On Monday, I moved from Chorlton (which for those who don't know, is the cool twentysomething hang out suburb of Manchester) to the city centre for an extra couple of days. Which was nice!
Then the couple of days took an odd turn, I've been offered another job for 3 months (albeit part time but since we're living at my parents not too bad a thing.) Like the original temp job, it features many things that seem almost unrealistically good.
For instance, they insisted I go in every day but they asked me to pick my own 3 and a half hours of the day, so 12.30-4 it is then! A nice sleep in and avoiding rush hour neatly.
They also gave me a leaving present of a Creme Egg Easter Egg and mug and bought everyone a chippy lunch on the last day!
Coincidentally![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thelma_viaduct has also got a job with the council although she cynically thinks it will be wrestled from her grasp before her first day tomorrow! I hope not though.
Oh and I took a Mystery Shopping Assignment as I thought I might need the cash from that too!
It finally seems that things are coming together a bit and we can save for the CELTA course and travelling itself. It's taken a while, a lot of tetch, a bit of bloodloss and a lot of tedium and lies but it seems to be on track (a little, fingers crossed, probably...)
Even my five a side football team won tonight (ok, the other team didn't turn up but that's not the point, 10-0 is 10-0!)
