A Working Progress

So, it's 2009. I seek to the future for something great to happen. For a moment to shine. I look behind to the past to recall and learn from my mistakes and I have made some huge mistakes. I've betrayed friends through irresponsible actions, I've been portrayed a liar which, for one thing I'm sure of, I'm not and I've been called Lazy.

Well in my career shift from being employed to, well, not employed. I decided to do something bold and daring - get a job that incorporated manual labour to encourage cash flow and reduce boredom and possiblities of despression.

During this time it's so easy to get lost in self-pity and doubting your own worth... and it's all to easy to give up. Believe me. I know. I experience 5 seconds of the deepest, darkest part of my emotions and felt lost. Thankfully I relied upon the fact that when all esle fails there is something that I have that no amount of financial stress or friendship trouble can take away - my passion for people.

I made a few phonecalls and some phonecalls were made on my behalf and I was to attend to new areas of work that I hadn't done before... Bar work and Restaurant work. Flexible hours and possibility of tips were the main attraction but once I had done trial shifts at both places I was hooked.

I've been working at these two places at all hours of the day and night for about 3 weeks... and do you know what? I love it. It can be tiring but I just have to ensure that I have enough Vitamins in my body to keep me in check... I have met some more amazing people of London and I've even been inspired to take on a Social Media project to create a new type of community (thoughts on this later).

So far they have been experiences of ability, strength, courage and personal development and I'm ENJOYING every working minute. Every mistake is soemthing new for me to learn and every shift I do is increasing my knowledge of something else that I can apply to business... These are exciting times for me now and, whilst I wait on the news of a job vacancy I've interviewed twice for, I can now enjoy connecting with people and making myself a better person through this crisis.
