You wait ages for one, and then all of a sudden two of them come along at once.
Oh yes, THIS blogger is back in employment!
So, what are you doing, I hear you ask? Well, the first one is at a place called ELM Legal Services, about 15 minutes away from my house in Bristol. It's a job in a call centre, but it's nothing like sales work - I ring people up and ask them if they have a will in place. If they say no, I ask if they would like to receive a letter of information through the post about our services. If they say yes, I confirm their details and hang up. Easy peasy. And it pays well and will fit very nicely in and around my studies when I go back to uni in September. Perfect.
The second one is a little more 'cooler' - I'm also working for Planet Mosh, a metal webzine, reviewing albums and the like. It's pretty cool, I have two reviews up so far with more to come as time goes on - you can find the one for Kids Can't Fly here and my Whitechapel review here. I recommend both of them to you highly. My next one will be up in over the weekend, I should imagine. I'll also be able to cover gigs and stuff too, I am so happy I'm working for them: a lot of experience and help on my Creative Writing front, for sure.
What else has been going on in the past month? Well, I performed in the Creative Writing Showcase, which saw me play a very gay director from New York, which was a lot of fun. I've got immensly jealous of everyone who went to Download Festival, I've recorded a radio play for the Drama Soc (which, with a bit of re-recording and editing will be aired on UWE Radio, yay!), I've booked myself in to attend Soul Survivor this year for the first time since 2009, and as I type this I'm sat at home having done a few shifts in Gloucester this week at the Cathedral Coffee Shop and done some work for my dad. Phew! A lot goes on in a month. Oh, and I've had my heartbeat pushed into hyperdrive by England at Euro 2012, which is a standard nowadays.
Iron Maiden kick off their new tour tonight in Charlotte, NC. It's based around 'Seventh Son of a Seventh Son', which is my favourite album by them EVER. The setlist won't be posted on here for the benefit of spoilers and the like, but it's going to be an utterly wonderful tour - even if they'll most likely play Download, which annoys me. Oh yeah, and to all the people who fucked off home without seeing ANY bands at Download 2012 due to the weather, and then complained about everything - shame on you. It's your own fault for spending £200 on a festival and not dealing with the rain. You all need a good healthy dose of Man the Fuck Up. Yes the festival could have been better organised, but you should have been prepared as well.
Anyway, rant over, I'm going to stay up and wait for Maiden's setlist. I will be back in touch soon.
