What Am I Doing With my Life?



What the hell am I doing with my life? That's a good question. I haven't posted on this blog for so long I've been starting to wonder it myself. 

The last time I wrote a post was during lockdown, which feels like a lifetime ago, but also feels like yesterday.

I'm trying not to be under a false sense of security, but I'm also glad to have some freedom back. 

While all this is going on, I've been working hard at my remote job, leading a team of people, working on a marketing campaign, and having various Zoom meetings.

And, as unbelievable luck would have it, I've been offered a full-time job as an Enquiries Assistant at UWE Bristol libraries!

I'm over the moon to have got this role as I really didn't expect it, but it's helped me believe that I give off good impressions and I'm capable of doing a job like this. It'll be my first ever full-time role, since most of my previous jobs have been part-time summer roles to help me get by, so hopefully this new position is something I can stick with permanently.
