The Next Move
Well, it's been a full month since I last posted. Once again life has whizzed on by and I've found little or nothing to blog about. However, I've been pondering certain life choices of late...nothing drastic... I am in a job that pays very little, is good experience but has very little to do with what I'm good at, and it seems to have made me turn a corner. It's made me feel a bit more ambitious than I have been before. I expect I will stay in this job for at least a few months longer, but I'm certain that I can do better. That's never happened to me before. I've wanted jobs before, but never with any real sense of ambition behind it. And to get where I want to go I'm pretty sure I want to do a masters in arts administration, or similar. So I'm going to look into it.
In the meantime, I want to look for more jobs. HR in a bank is all very well, but to be honest my role has turned into a recruitment assistant rather than anything else. And the days in the office are filled with chasing people for information and then being chased for other information for which I have to chase other people. It's all a not so fun game of cat and mouse...on a constant cycle. Woo! Actually the days go by very quickly because I'm busy all the time, and I like it when things go well. Just last week it was a pain trying to get anything done. A good analogy of it is the idea of wading through treacle. Fun!

Hehe I thought about Doc Martins too!
It's a bit pointless deleting a duplicate post if it's gonna leave a message there!
I didn't get to congratulate you on this job before you're moving onto the next!
I'm kind of in a similar situation, I enjoy my current job, but I know the only way to progress is to do a master's and leave the current job or at least temporarily. I just can't seem to get motivated to apply to universities again.
For some reason it seems more difficult now than it did the first time around. I guess when I first applied it was someting exciting and a new experience whereas now it just seems like the means to an end. I thought working for a while would spur me back to university.
I'll have to do something soon.
