This goes out to my people still in the struggle

So as I was saying I’ve got a new job, I’ve been out of fulltime work for a yea now. A Whole F**king Year bruv!

The recession hit me pretty hard and while at first I took it in my stride, I was soon missing fulltime work like a Kardashian without her fake lashes. In April 2008 I gave up fulltime work in an engineers office to pursue my career prospects in radio broadcast and events management on a fulltime basis, up until then it was all training and freelance. All was going well, couple months work experience; some paid work here and there, earned some skills and successfully managed events… I didn’t see the recession coming but like a wave it looked harmless but it knocked my bikini off and left me vulnerable. Ok so it was my own fault but I wasn’t putting the blame on anyone was I.

Many of you unemployed brethren know how hard it’s been. No contract = no secure work, gaps in my CV= not a reliable candidate for work. Not enough experience = under qualified. Most of the time and lets be honest, the fate of most jobs on the market have already been decided and usually by some snake like character who run the office and like gargoyles have always been there guarding the building for many years from anyone who will bring change and possibly the threat of competition – you make me want to scream and tear out my beautiful hair that you envy oh so so! Trust me I’m still coming for your job

…Well from tomorrow this is no more. My lovely agent Natalie at Morgan Hunt hooked me up with this cushy little job at the local council, 4mins walk from me yard; where I’ll be pushing paper through scanners and determining where they go in their journey on the archiving database…so maybe a step in different direction but it’s money and I’m moving again, onwards and upwards I shall go… oh, and my best mate Orla works in the building to …SCORE!!!!!!!

The last year has been unfortunately negative as well as productive but that’s all behind us now although I may reference from time to time, so things makes sense…. I digress!

Welcome to busy little elephant, cause from now on – that’s what I’ll be, busy. No more dwelling on him, her, you or them. It’s about me and its about f**king time too – time for things to take off and happen.

Let’s see how long I’ll last.
