"If wishes were horses beggars would ride" (old scots proverb)

 Hello to anyone out there.  I suppose you have noticed this blogg was opened years ago.  But didnt have much activity. Well 0 activity. I am not much of a social media junkie so was and still am not up on how to post and make my posts eye catching as you can see.

So straight to the point.

I was confused as what to do as I had a lot if agencies contacting me. 

Well I'm not anymore.  I made a decision. I had to.  If I dont like it I can always resign.

I start, on a trial basis work on Wednesday. Weird but there you have it.

I'm not nervous or anything. Which is not like me. 

My dress sense is different. I'm not like other people and this was even more prominent when I was younger. So I am going to find a more acceptable wardrobe professional. But I wont lose me like I did before.

Maybe before I start work I will send off my creatures or finish one of many many stories i have stashed under my bed.

If anyone is reading this can you give me hints about how to make my blog interesting and colourful.

I write but I can only write well about make believe and magic.

 

If wishes were horses

Like some out there, I have many wishes, dreams and imaginations. Like many, they rarely become reality. 

But I've found the more you dwell on what you dont have, the more you dont have. 

Its a waste of time and takes you to places you should not be. Which are very hard to leave.

I dont think I am alone when I say; I looked up from my work of 28 years and had not progressed to where I wanted to be despite working my whole adult and some of my youth. 

So I did a really scary thing. 

I resigned. 

🥺

I had and still have no job to go to. It was a very 'The straw that broke the camels back' kind of decision.

I have a little savings and I mean a little. Not a few hundred thousand pounds in an offshore savings account and a few hundred bonds. (I wish). Very little.

So despite feeling guilty, I went abroad for my birthday not on my own,  but with my sister. 

It was cheap but absolutely lovely. A different place, people different atmosphere.

Of course I realised all I have been doing was working to help everyone else and not doing anything for myself. 

I now find myself in a unique position. Out of work, yes but. Due to the past pandemic. Work had been very short staffed as people were off sick a lot in my workplace. 

So I found myself learning new skills. And working in a lead role.

Since putting my CV up on Indeed and Reed, I have had many agencies calling me up for work. I really dont know what to do? 

I have never been in demand before.
