The past day or so at work has been interesting to the say the least ( Read more... )

Ok shit, they've offered me the job ( Read more... )

I made a remark the other day at work that may have bounced back in my face ... and proven the theory. Nathalie (another publishing assistant) and I were discussing how whenever I start somewhere not too long after someone leaves, she joked that maybe I'm jinxed. Becky (the Law publishing assistant) who started the same day as me quit the other day ( Read more... )

It's the end of week no. 3 at work for me and so far I'm enjoying it, though I feel like most of the time I'm drowning under a sea of paper and (paper) files. The work isn't uber interesting itself but I do get to glance at essays and books on topics that do interest me and I know a bit about so that's enough to keep me happy. It's kind of cool ( Read more... )

I've been offered a job!

In Publishing!

Working on the Classics ... Philosophy and Religious Studies lists in editorial ... could this be more perfect? Probably not.

Every entry seems to start like this nowadays: It's been a hell of a long time since I last updated, I have no idea where the time goes. I can't believe it'll be Christmas in not much more than a month and of course it'll be my birthday and I'll be edging toward 30 (at 26) scary. Freakin' scary ( Read more... )

Do you ever write an entire post only to be distracted, turn off your computer having left your entry saved via autosave then completely forget about said entry?

So if it seems like I've to all intents and purposes died chances are I have been making an effort just ( Read more... )

*Hopes*

:s

I almost don't want to have any hope anymore so the fall won't be so hard when I get the rejection letter ... I just can't help but hope. It all seems so perfect ... too perfect for me anyway. The job, the place (a school!), the people and the fact that I'd be able to help the Sixth Form rowing squad and get involved in coaching as well ( Read more... )

Oh god, I've got stuff I need to flail about on here but why is it that whenever I have the urge to write I have no time? :s I miss lj, I feel so distant from everyone on here and people don't seem to post as much as they used to anymore though I know I am one of the worst culprits for that. Our lives seem to have gotten so serious and stressful ( Read more... )

Ok so my little dream didn't come true and Cambridge didn't offer me a place ( Read more... )
