The end of an era
I just finished my last day at the book shop I have been working for the last seven years...and am struggling to let it sink in. It started as a student job, turned into a full time occupation for a while, and was an extra source of pocket money for the last year, when I made the step into education. And now I have to really commit to my career change, and hope I have chosen well. I am really going to miss the environment, and the weird and wonderful individuals who worked there. Especially Barry, with whom I had the most splendid Statler and Waldorf double act, where we'd gripe about everything that was wrong with the company, every Thursday. And the Fallic Gong, which we rang every time the pervy porn-addict came to buy his Big Butt magazines. It's been a marvellous break from reality, but time to move on now.
And speaking of moving on, there is this, my new recruit:
A kitten looking for a new home found a home looking for a new kitten! I just hope she doesn't end up dominating everything...although right now she has been chased up a tree by the neighbours' cat, and is caught at the top...and it's getting dark :O Fingers crossed!
In other news I have to get used to the new regime of getting up at six, so it's off to bed in half an hour (at ten!). Summer's truly over!
