Quick post... to say nothing in particular



So now I have a job. I haven't posted anything in a while, but I will. Ideas for things I badly want to write are flitting through my head now and again. I'll be in touch soon.

Now that I have a JOB, the bit of brain space that was clogged up with job application deadlines, occasional little bouts of what-do-I-do-with-my-life anxiety, the do-I-apply-fpr-this-job-or-not, etc etc etc, is now free. I find myself having the space, in my brain, to actually think: I have the time to do something good in the world.

Remember that blog post I wrote about how, when you have a job, the job wants your soul?... My job does not yet take all of my soul (part-time gigs are the BEST) but people have started dangling offers of 'more hours' in front of me, with the shiny prizes of possible promotion, sometime in the future, attached to them. Not always the most decisive of people, I find myself in the occasional dilemma.

Ideally people would not dangle these exciting things in front of me, though, because I have important things I want to do with my free days. I want to change a little bit of the world.

I remember reading in a book about 'what to do with your life' that you should consider taking the thing that everyone says is impossible, and set about making it happen.

... Big goals, yes?... More on that soon.

All the best
