back in the saddle

Over the last few weeks I’ve been considering my career options.  I need some cash, is what it boils down to.  I need a thousand bucks to pay a Manuscript Assessor to tell me how to turn my First Crappy Draft into a Best Seller so that I can be a Writer. I need another thousand bucks to fund the Product Development Phase of my Top Secret Project so I can be an Entrepreneur.  And I need another few hundred bucks to buy myself that KitchenAid Mixer I keep talking about, so that I can be a Serious Food Blogger.  Oh, and I’d quite like to upgrade my Espresso Machine, please, so I can also continue as a Barista.

And whilst I love my job at the Cafe/Cooking School, the cold hard truth of the matter is that I can make significantly more money if I return to my former line of work, which is Scribing.  So, I have resigned from the Cafe and I have emailed my resume to a former colleague who still works in the Recruitment industry and who has already offered me some work.

So… let’s see how that works out, shall we?  Because if you’ve been reading for a while, you’ll know that I never thought I’d ever go back to a job that required me to wear a suit and carry a briefcase.

Oh.

I also need a few hundred bucks for a new suit.
