It's direectly related to my degree, and it starts January 07, which is something I am looking for. As much as I am keen on starting a business, it's a risky business, and I can still do things like putting on shows/running a webzine in my free time, and build up from there. Also, I can keep the footbag scene updated on when grants are ready to go, that kind of thing. The skills, most of it I'm pretty fine in, some of the financial stuff I might not be so 1337 on, but I will put in an application. It may also help me that I'm already a Sports Commission Employee (ASC runs the AIS).
So I'm just hanging out at Kate's place, I think I'll go home in a moment, she's gone off to work. Nothing to do today, so I might get an application for this job together. Also, this would definitely get mum and dad off my back about "why haven't you gone for a job" etc.
