Nice Work When You Get It

*STOP PRESS*STOP PRESS*STOP PRESS*STOP PRESS*
I got a job.
THE job
I was hoping for.
10:30am and I’m at the sinks in the ladies’ at college.
The editor of the Enfield Gazette rings through.
“I hope this news pleases you," he said, "I’d like to offer you a job. “
Hell yes, thank you , thank you.
“I’m really pleased Nadia, well done,” he added, “The two other girls were gutted (those that interviewed me alongside him on the panel), "because they wanted you as well.”
I'm flattered.
But of course given the choice of where to work, my loyalty is to Enfield.
I had the interview last Friday Jan 26 so the speed of the decision is just what I needed to push through final exams next week.

Start date is sometime end of next month. I said I’d be willing to forgo the placement I lined up at G2’s The Guardian in the event of no immediate job prospects.
But he’s happy to wait for me and says I should do it.
Looking forward to starting out, joining the deam team and yay yay salary!
Wouldn’t ask for more.
