An Odd Day on The Costa Del Sol

The title of this post may be a it misleading in that I don’t actually mean it’s an odd day on the Costa Del Sol in general, just an odd day for me in particular!

There I was, happily writing away when my phone rang and I was offered a job interview for this evening. Not that strange, you might think, except it was one of those things I sent a CV off to without ever expecting to get any response to it!

So I dutifully got dressed (well, shorts and a scruffy tee shirt don’t give the best impression) and went off to see what it was all about. It was my kind of interview too, sitting in the street outside a cafe drinking good Spanish coffee - nice and laid back!

Well, it turns out that it’s not my favourite thing in the world to to (working for anyone else in general is not my favourite thing to do) but it seemed like an interesting diversion to bring in some much needed cash and the hours are actually right up my street (only four of them a day).

So I can happily carry on doing what I do online without losing too much of my day to go and earn a crust as a side-line. Of course, I’m working hard towards the day when I won’t have to rely on anyone else for my financial survival in this difficult country (employment-wise). When all these websites and blogs that I’m spending hours working on every day start to really rev up and make money in realistic amounts then I’ll be much happier.

So until that day arrives, I’ll have to make do with a bit of drudgery to pay the bills. Swing low, sweet chariot… well not as bad as that but for someone whose freedom is paramount, pretty damn close!
