Work Experience

Dress: Primark (CS, "Cinnamon", £15.00)

Wedges: H&M. 

Good Afternoon you beautiful people out there!

This is what I wore to my work experience today. And by,work experience, I mean doing some photocopying and filing for my mum and dads friend. And by, wore, I mean this is the dress I had on. In reality I wore this dress with thick, black opaque tights, black sturdy and freshly polished shoes, and a fluffly monsoon cardigan to keep me warm. But for the purposes of this blog and for photographic effect I've went bare legged and teamed it with beige wedges. Wishful thinking for summer or what?

It was only me who was in the office today so I could have worn my jeans and converses if I wanted to but then it wouldn't have put me in a professional mood. Honestly, I cannot wait 'til I graduate and find employment that doesn't enforce a micky mouse uniform. My uniform at the cinema where I work is plain black trousers, black shoes and a black shirt. This also was my school uniform and in many ways it makes me feel like I haven't properly became an adult yet. The day that I leave the house suited and booted with hair pinned back will be the day I do. 

I did have a couple of years out inbetween school and University and I lived down near Birmingham where I had a variety of jobs. My favourite was when I worked in as a recruitment consultant (a fancy name for a cold call salesperson imho) and I had my own desk, my own telephone,  and my own works' mobile phone. I also had the good fortune of being able to pick as and when I had lunch, come in and leave and could stop to have tea breaks anytime I wanted. Ahhh I miss those days. 

Three years of University has mainly consisted of sleeping in til eleven most mornings, daily watching of The Wright Stuff (12 O'clock repeated episode) and five month long summers. Days like today make me wonder what my life would be like if I hadn't went to Uni and continued to work full time. Well, firstly, I wouldn't be ten grand in debt, and I also believe I would be driving by now ( I am ashamed to say that at 22 I've only had one driving lesson and never bothered going back),  But I also wonder...would I have seen more of the world by now, would I have a mortgage, would I be married to my partner of 7 years and gulp... would I be a mother by now??? 

Well I'll never know and I don't know if all that would neccessary be a good thing for someone so young. But then again, the onset wrinkles are creeping in and I no longer can get away with doing the reckless things I did as a teenager. So soon enough I will be a fully responsible adult and yearn for the days when posting a blog was at the highest priority of my day.
