New project

Until now I've been working as a monk does, attending the needs of our monastery and its environs. However, circumstances have become somewhat different of late. Due to some depletion of the inward flow of money, I have been ordered to secure an income for the benefit of the building and its peoples. I undertook a search for suitable employment two months ago, although living on a small island my options have been quite limited. But, last week, things changed somewhat. A debate had raged over whether or not I would have speaking rights on location with my employer. For the future of the monastery it was finally agreed that I should indeed have the right of speech, or else money would be very difficult to come by. With this useful tool I would be able to promote my skills with more force and, I should add, a certain eloquence.

Through connections and acquaintances from such social buildings as the public house and the off-licence, I was directed to a possible solution. After a period of prayer and fasting I contacted the local school and pushed myself forward for the role of Career Advisor. Admittedly I was on shaky ground. With little or no experience I was hardly ideal for the position. The fact that there was no vacancy was a potential issue, but a frank and direct conversation with the Head was fruitful. Initially (understandably) he raised several objections but slowly, minute by minute, he was turned by my persuasive words. I negotiated a worthwhile salary in the process, certainly enough to help my brothers at the monastery, and I left with his thanks ringing in my ears. I hope to be able to guide the young people of this island in their search for a meaningful future.

I am going turn in now as I am worn out, but I will leave you with a few words of education, namely that you avoid eating frozen pizza as it is shit. Cook! Enjoy the fruits of your own labour, not some toss from a cardboard box with plastic cheese and shitty little mushrooms all over the top of it.
