After a cold and damp winter this was spring coming in with all guns blazing. Walking to the bus stop with the park on one side of the road, and gleaming white regency buildings on the other, was my wake up time, and since Id started skipping coffee for this fast paced stroll, this kind of weather certainly did the trick. I take a bus from here on into the city. 10 minutes of to-ing and throw-ing but its rarely crowded and mostly leisurely, especially as it gives me time to send a few texts and set up any potential socialising for after work. As a secretary working in a large yet friendly firm Im fairly unstressed most of the time. But it makes me wonder sometimes whether I should climb up some sort of career ladder, whether Im just hiding from any more challenging roles. Working through an agency gives me a lot of freedom, or at least gave me a lot of freedom flitting from place to place with no long term office politics to deal with and things like that. I pick up a PA jobs section from a newspaper that someones left behind on a seat in front of me, and skim through. Id like to apply for a permanent position, but Id definitely need to train for new skills. Most proper secretarial jobs require a range of abilities and knowledge that sometimes you cant always learn from just any secretary job. But the glorious weather has inspired me. I think about the qualifications I do have, and how to build on them. The bus swerves round a corner - somebodys eager - and I slide along the seat a little. I think of last years skiing holiday and the sunshine on the mountains. What a relief it is after those gloomy winter months to finally get some decent weather, and its so much more profound in the city when its like this. Puts everyone in a good mood. Careers advice is hard to come by in the work place, and its kind of weird for me to just ask for something without offering something in exchange, but I do need some sort of challenge in my job thats going to be worthwhile and build on what I can do so far. Im nearly there now, and from the bus stop its just a hop skip and jump from the gleaming office block off the main street. Im all set for the day. Im still holding that newspaper jobs section so I tuck it under by arm - dont want to give my office manager the jitters - theyve come to rely on me but then again, theres always the possibility theyd take me on permanently.
