It's almost three weeks since I last posted. I've been lurking though, and reading through threads when I can.
Well, some of my PMA over the last months has paid off, in a really big way. I was offered a six week, full-time, temporary contract in a different department to the zero hours one in which I work as a result of always being so helpful, sociable and bright at my zero hours job.
This is making a huge difference to my financial situation. I can now relax for the remainder of the year, knowing I can get by. I don't live a fancy life, to be sure. I live the life of an artist, from month to month. But the pressure is now off, and I can relax for the second half of the year, which is an absolute luxury for me...especially since BD in October.
I know that there is a part-time position coming up in this department in which I've been working this temporary contract, so I'm doing something that I've never done before, and working this job with an eye to applying for the part-time position if it does come up. I feel I'm doing OK so far.
I can now wear my own clothes to work, instead of my zero hours position uniform, and everyone has commented on how well I look and how nicely put together I am.
I have some serious GAL lined up for the weekend, and am bringing several groups of friends together on Saturday night who have never met, but who I would really like to introduce to each other.
This is all doing wonders for my self esteem and my confidence.
