Keep on keeping on

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Over the past two weeks I’ve mainly been concentrating on staying busy. If I’m busy I don’t have time to think about the facts that I don’t have a job, I no longer have a boyfriend, and that I’m probably eligible for welfare if I took the time to check into the matter. 

Every day I’ve been going to work with my mom to help out with some of her kids. Each morning I get to the school and the kids in her reading group trip over themselves to be the ones who get to read to me. It’s been really fun helping out with them–a couple of the kids are just too cute. They’re all in 3rd grade and they’re reading some books that I hadn’t seen since I was their age, so that’s been a lot of fun. The little boys in the group have been hilarious…one asked my mom about the possibility of dating me and two others fought with each other to see who would be able to hold my hand!

Life is going pretty well for me lately, if I do say so. My job is going well, I now have a TV at my house, and so far this morning I’ve had two giant cups of coffee and a mug of tea. I’m freakin’ wired.

My new job is pretty cool. I’ve been working at Which? magazine for a little over a week now, and it’s been really fantastic. I’m in love with the location—right around the corner from Regent’s Park and a twelve-minute walk to Oxford Street shopping, which I’ve already taken advantage of during a lunch break last week (and I have a lovely black velvet jacket to show for it). The people here are fun and we have a big window looking out onto a tree-filled courtyard between buildings. Technically, I’m a copywriter; I work on the Which? Internet site, doing design-related stuff and yesterday we started doing more editorial stuff. My resume is very excited about that, let me tell you. I’m just happy that it’s steady work, at least until the end of November. Having worked on Web projects before, though, I’m pretty much counting on this thing running past schedule. Fingers crossed.
