I wonder what will happen between now and then?

Admittedly I haven’t posted as often as I hoped but I’ve only just finished my exam/assessment period at uni therefore I’ve been so incredibly busy. I’ve literally been restricting my time spent online because of it! (May have grown out of Facebook now?!).

Currently, I have all the time on my hands I’ll be posting more and trying to really establish an online presence again.

‘Course, I could start now but I’m running on three hours sleep and I’m pretty sure I’m about to crash…

P.S. Oceanus-Anima.com is technically four years old now, as of today. Bloody hell.

Anyway, there is some point to this post before you start wondering just what the hell I’m on about. No, not an amazing point, but one worth mentioning. Or something.

So today, October 8th marks the anniversary of when I started working. My second anniversary because I have now been a working girl for three years! Shocking!

Yep, that’s right. I started working when I was sixteen and haven’t stopped since.

I’ve actually been with the same company for my entire working ‘life’ although I’m currently in a different division to the one I started in, and now live in a completely different part of the country. So I’m loyal, you see?

My only regret of starting work so young is that I am unlikely to stop working until I retire. Which is a shame really. Although I didn’t have to work when I was sixteen, when I moved out from my mother’s at the age of seventeen I did have to work to pay rent every week. It was a necessity!

So now that I haven’t (thankfully) moved back to living with mother dearest, I still have to pay rent, and still have to work in order to live!

Up until about a month ago I was part time, but for just this year (until next September) I’m now full time whilst I take a year out and get some – wait for it – money behind me!

My advice to you, the young, innocent teen websurfer is this: don’t start working until you truly, desperately have to. There is more worth in enjoying the time of your youth than earning cash just to blow on current trends you don’t actually like.

I do wish I’d waited to start working until I had a need to earn money, but it did mean that when I moved out I had a stable company to transfer jobs with at a time I did actually need money.

So young’ns. Think very carefully before taking up that Saturday job you’ve been tempted by. Do you really need the money that badly?

And there ain’t no time for a working girl.
