celebrate good times
Things have been happening. All kinds of good things. First, I got a small loan for my business, so I can get started on some niggling details right away. Hopefully I will be pedalling the biscuits to park cafes around southwest London in the new year, as well as at Richmond farmer's market. Tons of baking to do. Plus I need to work on the logo.
So after I got this loan, my agency managed to get me an interview for a long term temp position. And I got the job because its mostly an online company and I have bags of experience in that area. (I'm pretty much completed overqualified for the job, but its only temp.) I am really happy about this position because I love what they are about (health consultancy) and the people there all seem super nice and the location is awesome (easy to get to by tube, easy scooter parking, awesome lunch & coffee places). The job itself is a bit simplistic, but in a way that’s nice because I won't be draining my brain, I need it for other stuff! Besides its only 2-3 days a week. Oh, and even the pay is good.
Some say good things come in threes? Well while waiting for the third thing I got a flat on my scooter on my way to the first day of my new job. At least I broke down next to a tube station. I still got to work on time. (Way to go Northern Line!) And speaking of the underground, I saw a big billboard yesterday saying that Nat West was sponsoring free public transport in the city on New Year's Eve. This would be great except for the fact that workers are threatening to strike on that night. Oh well. At least cabbies will have something to celebrate.
Things I'm looking forward to on Christmas: Alien invasion in the new Dr. Who & baking gooey magic bars.
