My first professional post!

I got a job and a relevant job at that - which I am surprised about as I thought the interview was a disaster. It was very annoying - I was completely calm until I had to sit in front of three people and big myself up without sounding like a complete idiot. It's as a Library Assistant at a secondary school just outside of Bristol, and I am very excited even if it's not exactly the most high powered position in the world - it's my first professional role and hopefully the one that catalyses my future career. It finally feels like things are coming together - Both my husband and I have jobs in the new city of residence, flat is sorted out and old house is rented so no need to worry about that. Time to breathe a long overdue sigh of relief.

Of course, I still have my Masters dissertation to complete, but now I feel that I can concentrate wholly on that task without having to worry about finding gainful employment. Hurrah.

Feeling great, if not tired at the moment. I will probably blog more when I get started with my job in September, as more of a way for me to keep track of what I've been doing and learning than anything else. Can't wait to get my teeth into something and make a difference! This job sure wasn't serendipitous, but I can't help but feel lucky. Better dig out the old twin set and pearls...Or horn rimmed glasses.
