I'm the boss of me...

Tomorrow, I start a freelance temp job at a well-known London advertising agency. One wonders how my re-introduction into society will pan out, having spent the past six months working solo, with nowt’ but an arsy black cat and yours truly for company. I am, by turns, petrified and thrilled.

In my mind’s eye, I see a dog. A small, wiry, friendly faced, mutt, skidding uncontrollably from office pillar to post. People! People! People! OMG, I do exist! Staying at home for six months can wreak solipsistic-style havoc with one’s sense of presence. Here’s hoping that I can resist the urge to lick my new co-workers.

How I might respond to command is another matter. Can free-will be relinquished once one has controlled one’s own daily destiny? Dog-like I may be, but I have learnt a lot from that black cat over the past six months. Everyone takes an afternoon nap between three and six, don’t they?

More to the point, will one have enough hours in the day to pursue one’s hearts desire? In short, will this dog live to blog another day? Time, cups of tea and biscuits will tell.

On the upside, story-seeking opportunities abound. What treasure may lurk un-dug amongst the creative and account management departments of one of London’s best-known advertising groups? What ‘tales that are still to be told’ could be nestled somewhere between the water cooler and a ‘tissue meeting’?

Ho hum. It’ll be good to get out of the house and I like an adventure. Especially one that might involve food. I could be getting prematurely excited here, but my friend who works at Mother gets a free breakfast and lunch every single day that she shows up to work. That seems like a deal. Like all good dogs, I respond well to free treats.

So, now to search for the A-Z, find two shoes that match and prepare a Scooby snack……just in case.
