Absolutely knackered

This part-time work set-up is hard to get used to. The work itself is good, mind you, although working late in the week means I’m dealing with a publication has lots of advertising features on “non-invasive” but nonetheless gruesome-sounding procedures, all in the name of beauty and well-being.

It can’t be long before these pampering institutes are offering women brand new heads, available in an array of colours, shapes and facial expressions. Personalities sold separately.

My regular part-time job will be early in the week, so I’ll be working on other, more news-based titles. Until that starts in a in a week or so they’ve been giving me some gigs on a nice fat freelance rate. I can hardly complain.

Having said that, getting up at 6.30 in this weather is a bitch.

If I'd known what was involved in freelancing, I never would have started. I don't regret it though.It was an excellent business education.
