    What job? :D
    Currently unemployed for about 5 weeks at this stage. Feels weird having the day to myself. Getting a bit bored of it right now.
    Going to look for work in the new year.

    Only part-time as well but I hate it. Alot. But still, I don't have to care about it, its only a crappy job to help me pay the rent. The thoughts of having a real job/career that I'd have to put effort and energy into really scares me :eek:

    Love my job (Library Assistant with Fingal County Council) but only been in it a month so who knows what could happen.

    The people I work with are all really different, the people who come in are all really nice, the pay isn't fantastic but there are steady increments and fantastic job security, and I get lots of holidays.

    \o/

    I'm a student teacher, and it can be sooo stressful, but it can be amazing, so much fun and great feel good factor. I can't wait to graduate and get my own class. Til then I'm workin one day a week in an aquarium as a tour guide and I love it so much. Best job ever, so laid back and easy, chatting to kids about sharks! I can't believe it's actually my job most of the time.:)
