I seem to be doing well for extra work at the moment. Today I worked for an extra shift that went on extra-long. This went from 5pm until 11:45pm which means loads of extra money. I did have a chat about a higher rate of pay but apparently bookshops don't pay as much as I really need. Having said that, I have some excellent references there, having done my best to do the job as well as possible.

Interestingly, one of the people that works there also works elsewhere and said there were vacancies in the other company. I took the details and am applying. It could be a bonus that I'm already known to one of their employees. Apparently it's a small shipping firm that's fairly local. Anyway, I dropped them a line and a resume. I'll give them a call tomorrow to see whether I can arrange an interview.
