A Bookishly Brilliant Afternoon

by unpolished-diamond-x @ 15/07/2008 - 16:37:15

Recently I've been trying hard to find a part time job that will fund my dvd addiction and provide me with some money to put away for uni,my trip to paris next year and just for general saving.

Unfortunately I've found that nowhere wants to employ my youthful fifteen year old self.

So, in an attempt to gain work experience and keep myself busy for at least one day a week in the summer,I've started volunteering at a charity shop in town.

It's a branch of the children's charity Barnardos selling books of every kind.

If you don't know me,and the majority of you don't,before I became so interested in obsessed with films,I was really interested in obsessed with books and reading. I'd read anything I could get my hands on. It was my favourite past time and getting lost in a book was my idea of heaven. I still enjoy it,but my time is more filled up with film watching and buying now.

So, this bookish side of myself is getting to enjoy itself in a book store for four hours every Tuesday.

I found out about this opportunity through my mum. She works with the husband of the manager of the shop and she was telling him about how I wanted to get some work experience before applying for a job when I finally turn sixteen. He told her his wife owned a charity shop and had a word with said wife. She said she'd be happy to have me and so now I've got this wee volunteering position.

It may seem like I'm making a really big deal out of this but I had my first proper day there today and I really enjoyed it. The people are really nice and made me feel right at home. I also liked working on the till because hey,I like pushing buttons :))

And I feel good because it's for charity.

:D

Until Next Time
