Yellowtrampoline

Again, it has been far too long. I have still not given up on my yellowtrampoline, but life tends to get in the way a bit now, I’ve found. So what have I been up to? My job at Amersham was amazing, I adored it and the people I worked with. However, sadly there was not enough in the coffers to keep all of the trainees, and Teresa was the lucky one to get the tutor job, so after two extra months as a hybrid tutor (slightly more pay) I left the centre, and, of course, my new home and friends, Brownies, WI…
So now I’m back at home for a bit. I’m not as despondent as the last paragraph may make out, I promise. I’m fully aware that the tiny but perfectly formed centre at Amersham might one day have felt too cramped, and in some ways I’m grateful that I never got to that stage. In other ways, of course, I wish I was still there!
My job search has thus far borne no more fruit than a couple of interviews, and although that is a good start, it’s not a job, is it? The main, sometimes only, reason given for not employing me has been that others had more experience. But, if noone will employ me, how will I get experience?!
I’ve decided the answer lies in more applications, hopefully interviews, and Oxfam, so I’ve started volunteering in a local shop, about once a week.
So, there, I’m up to date. Back to the application grindstone.
