Respite

It’s taken a shade over two months, but I’ve finally found some work. Everybody tells me once you crack through the job market it becomes easier. We’ll put that to the test.

But for now I’m in a position I’ve wanted to be in for a long time. I’m working for a publishing company. The trouble is it’s at the bottom of a very long ladder. I’m the tech support geek; probably my least favourite role ever. But it’s a means to an end and if I were to be a little more honest I like the idea of being mobile, of accessing anyone in the entire organisation. I don’t feel like the kid fresh from school. Something inside has made me hungry and focused. The years in Unisys have thickened my skin and taught me a thing or two. It seems too that my time in Africa has strengthened me. I guess there’s nothing quite like exploring a continent on your own.

And part of me wishes I were back exploring Africa. One day.
