Positively Pink with Possibility

Anyone who knows me will know that my husband and I have been hit pretty hard by the recession. Having both been working in finance at the time of the collapse it’s been a strange couple of years. Hopping from temping post to temping post the future has been rather uncertain for us both.

This morning my husband discovered that he will once again be looking for work. He’s disappointed but also optimistic and to be honest so am I. Something seems to have clicked into place for us in the last few months & although we are all but back at the start something seems different this time.

I don’t know whether it’s the sunshine or the radio’s great setlist this morning but I’m feeling this recent activity in our working lives is for the best. Far from being depressed and worried, I’m excited about the possibility.

If you know my husband you will agree that he wasn’t made to work in an office for the rest of his days. This is his time now, of that I am positive.

The End Of A Rather Entertaining Era

Well what can I say, I'm changing jobs once again. I know that's the life of a temp but still, it means a new set of colleagues & more frighteningly in this case, a headset! Still, I do seem to settle in quickly enough in most assignments & feel like an old hand in no time.

My latest role has had some fairly original moments that I feel my new role will possibly lack.

Highlights have included babysitting an egg wrapped in blankets of tissue, studying a shockingly wide assortment of stab wounds & trying to fathom how anyone could feel it's appropriate to get your boobs out in a reception area "for an airing"! Oh and add to that a robbery which resulted in having my finger prints taken by a genuine CSI agent (it said so on his fleece) & I think you will understand my hesitation in moving on.

So future friends & colleagues, you have a lot to live up to & if i start doing anything deemed 'inappropriate', go easy on me. It's been an interesting few months.
