The world of Lizzie
Hello folks,
I don't post actual content very often (ie just calls to arms and memes). So for those who a) don't know and b) care, here's whats goign on eith me
Exciting new job
Firstly very exciting news! I have got a job running Amnesty International's Fringe shows, Stand up for Freedom, this year. It's very excting and I'll get to meet lots of famous comedians but more importantly be doing Stuff again. I miss being in that kind of role so much, so it'll be dead fun and hopefully lead to nmore stuff by impressing up my CV.
Plus, helping save the world, which I feel bad about not really doing. I actually used the phrase 'I want to change the world...god that sounds really stupid' in the interview and still got the job! (He reminded that this was Amnesty International and wanting to change the world is pretty much their thing.)
End of crappy old job
Of course, the Amnesty thing is just voluntary - a few hours a week and then more during the Fringe itself. It coincides, though, with my having quit my job at Leith Social Work cos of a)having no money and b)having no job satisfaction. I have registered with a shiny new agency who say they should be able to get me at least an extra pound an hour and are fine with the time off for Amnesty.
I think that since I made the decision to quit and look for something more fulfilling the universe moved and gave me the Amnesty thing as a sign I made the right decision. Which is wanky, but true - kind of like the changing the world comment!
Selling up
We're putting the house on the market at the end of the month - just waiting on getting the double glazing put in (next couple of weeks) and the kitchen retiled, the rooms repainted and the doors put back on in the bedroom. If anyone has any special skills in any of these areas, let us know and we will give you money in return.
We're probably looking to buy fairly centrally, or maybe round Leith Links. With any luck we'll be moved by Ari's birthday.
It 's nice to write all these thing down sometimes.
Byee!!
