My first blog entry DUN DUN DUN!

Actually, it's not even remotely dramatic, as I have nothing interesting to say. Instead, I shall ramble about my day at work. Which, while the beginning of a full week, is not actually all that interesting.

First, I suppose I should probably explain what exactly my job is. As a Youth Worker, I work with at risk youth in a not so savoury area of my city, trying to make them less at risk. This involves having a group of kids each tuesday and wednesday morning, and letting them talk about whatever's going on at home, and generally making them feel safe. Surprisingly enough, that's all it really takes.
ON TOP OF THAT, part of my job is to learn skills so I can get employed elsewhere when my contract runs out (it's some complicated government scheme). So on mondays (like today) I learn random skills. Today it was screen printing.

Here's where I get to the point. Screen printing, we actually do every monday until the wonderful lady teaching us all gets sick of us. Anyway, so, I spent all of last week painstakingly cutting out of annoying plastic, a stencil I wished to print onto a t-shirt. Then realised I had done it wrong and had to start again (with a lot of swearing). But today, it all got finished... and I managed to print a kick-ass picture of Jack Skellington being creepy onto the top I was wearing.

Wasn't that an awesome story?

No, not really, but tomorrow we take the first group of kids out mountain biking... maybe that will be more exciting.

Till then
