New job

    I had the first day in my new job today and it went very well although it is a change of role for me and there is a lot to take in and figure out before I will become comfortable with it.

    Although my qualifications are in youth work and that is what I have been dong until now, the closure of some centres left me without a job so I applied for a position as a PA, partly as a laugh really since it is a 'feminine' role traditionally. Imagine my suprise when I was invited for interview and then later offered the job!

    They do know who they are getting as well, since I wore boots with heels, make up, earrings, bootcut trousers and a blouse to the interview, and that is how intend to carry on. To be honest I have no choice anyway I have no intention on going out to buy male clothing.Yuk!

    Ultimately, I will be returning to youth work at some point but this is proving to have a nice 'feel' about it, maybe because of it's traditionally female role. I do know it's going to be crazy at times though since I know what the workload is like.

    Oh yes, in a couple of weeks I have to attend a two day seminar with the other PA's and secretaries in the service, that should be interesting since guess who will be the only non GG in the crowd!
