Working 9 to 5

So, I am now in the big wide world of work, yeah ok it's not for the first time but a whole year off? sheesh!!

So far I am on my second day of my practicum with Edmonton based fashion magazine Parlour and I have got to say I am enjoying it immensely, possibly due to the fact that I've worked a grand total of 5 hours in two days. I am definitely in the right industry!

Today I had the whole day off, and so I spent it serging up a storm whipping up a dress and 4 tops out of some wicked vintage fabric), it was like being on summer holidays as a kid, I stayed in my dressing gown till 4 o'clock and only got dressed when my bud came to visit!! I resisted the temptation to eat cereal all day, although I did gorge myself on beetroot and squishy cheese triangles, oh and chocolate!! mmmmmmmhh chocolate!

My buddy has been staying with us for a bit and she's moved out which is sad, although no more feelings of awkwardness about walking to the toilet naked, that is a plus side I guess, although naked russian roulette at 4 am after way too much tea did have a charm all of its own!

Anyway, I am back in my dressing gown drinking tea and sewing so all in all a pretty productive day.

Thought for the day: Tomorrow must make a concerted effort to get a job that pays REAL money, no magic beans
