Well, I’ve finally done it. I’ve finally got my hands on a full-time job in Glasgow. After seven weeks, I’m there.
I’ll be working with Gift, a fundraising body for a number of widely renowned charities. I’ll be fundraising for UNICEF, Concern, and many others; out on the street in the cold, wind, rain or shine. I’m going to be a ‘street vulture’. :-)
I cannot wait. I’ll be meeting many new people and interacting with ‘new characters’ and earning some great money. My working hours are between 10am and 6pm, and I’ll have two days off per week – meaning that I’ve both my evenings and weekends free for writing time! Huge win!
During my time of unemployment in Glasgow, I’ve kept myself busy writing and watching movies/television in my flat. With regards to my writing, I’ve found a spot where I seem to get most of my inspiration. Of course, I’ve been sitting in every nook and crevice that I could inhabit whilst pottering about during these last six weeks. Yes, my favourite place for writing and ideas is actually, my shower. I’ve written or rather improvised so much comedy and so many small scenes whilst in the shower – which is funny because not only am I working on my scenes and writing – but I’m getting excellent memory training as of course, no writing tools are present…
I’ve been thoroughly enjoying my acting classes. They’ve really given me an extra push towards wanting to create something. I’ve been pondering ideas on a project which I’d like to invite the whole class to take part in. I’m working around a few ideas, and toying with some scenarios which would suit my colleagues in the hope that they’d all be willing to take part if this project ever gets onto it’s feet. But watch this space where that is concerned.
Anywho. I’m off to watch some 24, followed by the illustrious Woody Allen and I’ve a bottle of wine waiting for me!
Pleasantness to all,
TTFN
