So, its been a while since I had a blog... The one I last had was whilst I was at Law School - which seems like a million years ago - and I struggled with keeping that one as up to date as I would have liked, though god knows what was getting in my way: Considering doing some work and then having a coffee and cigarette break maybe?
So... I managed to time the start of this blog with getting "Big Opportunity of My Dreams" Job (BOMD Job). Before that I was whiling away my time at a small Dickensian law firm, not doing very much and letting it get to me, between the wonderfully short hours of 9:30 and 4:45. Then 2 months ago, little firm was eaten by a big commercial soulless firm and I finally got the urge to go and find something better. I stumbled upon BOMD Job by accident four days after I started looking and managed to blag my way in two weeks later. And its great! But boy, is it stressful and long. I am now working 8:30 - 7 most days and those days are filled with a heady mix of excitement and terror. Needless to say, I never have the time to cook tea, let alone actually blog. I do managed to read others (thank god for my iphone) but I am little lax with posting.
I have decided that this is okay for me, because being an active part of a community that I enjoy so much, is important to me and is preferable to simply reading all the blogs I love... but I hope that is okay with you (the very few of you out there!)
P.s When I got BOMD, they gave me an "Apprentice"-style grilling and asked if I was willing to work all hours... I instantly replied "Er, Human Rights, Court of Appeal, Snazzy International Office... Hell Yes!!" but then realised I should actually talk to Wil about this, as it kind of effected him. His response was that I should go for it, even though it now means all things changing in our lives, starting with him cooking diner all week. I think it is pretty cool that we can change our roles like this (I used to cook all the time - I like it!) and that they are so easy to change! I was honestly like "Well, you'll have to cook now I finish so late" and he replied "Tuna Pasta Bake 5 times a week it is then!" and it was done! I feel a lot easier about our future now, and am worrying less about the traditions of marriage eating us up!

Fluid role changes to accommodate major life changes are what it's all about. Or so I say... (Congratulations on BOMD job!)
ReplyDeleteAnd having once not only abandoned but also deleted my blog for months, only to come back to it and find that some good folks still wanted to read what I had to say, I know that feeds/readers are a wonderful thing.
Congrats! Sounds like a pretty fabulous thing so go get'em.
ReplyDeleteThanks ladies. I'm still on my probation period and it's pretty cutthroat so we'll see!
