Got me a blog (bit slow on the uptake I know) to post and share ideas, develop some sort of creative nonsense and generally distract me from doing work.
I just finished reading your blog “Undercover Ellie”, the one you wrote a couple of years ago. I felt identified with many of the situations you described there. What amazes me is that even though you and I live in very different countries (I live in Tijuana, BC. Mexico) when it came to this matter “our” experiences seemed to be quite similar.
Before I got the job I am doing now I had to do a lot of “shitty” and temp jobs. Those were awful days. I think a fair “healer” to these situations is to acknowledge, write and read about them, just as you did.
Well, I think this is all I wanted to say, for now… Oh, and one last thing: I think you are very funny ;-) Also, I must confess I’ve been a constant reader of your stuff for quite some time now.
Hello my lovely! how are u? sorry for the late reply, i just havent been on My Space for yonks - bad Alex! haha! Hope you are ok! What have you been doing recently? x
