Say Hello 26, Wave Goodbye 25
That was a bizarre year from a work point of view. For the first 8 months no work, except being ghosted several times by potential heritage employers (this is the state of empathy-less HR, such a big problem). To keep my moral up I discovered swimming. I also dabbled in creative writing and found I had a thing for inventing comedy dialogue and veering into fantasy. And my hobby research, into Miss Stafford of Peru, helped keep my archive research and presentation skills active.
Surprise in August (usually a dead work period) came flying in an offer for temp work for Cranleigh Cottage Hospital heritage project, followed by the job offer from Royal College of Physicians. Now I am dipping into fascinating hidden medical history with yet more archive visits. And I also rediscovered my local beach which is best to visit when its cold and windswept to clear the cobwebs (see above). To sum up dear reader, as John McClane shouted many times: “YIPPEE-KI-YAY, motherf*****s!” 🙂
