All in a good cause

Ruby is now up twice a night feeding so I'm back to be a zombie. I can't actually remember what day it is. My older kids are gearing up for red nose day. I went to get my porridge this morning, only to find that the oats had been used for flap jacks to sell for red nose day. I'm sure I can forgo porridge one morning for the sake of small, hungry children.

I was contacted by a lawyer I know yesterday who wanted to know what the chances of finding a job in corporate law were at the moment. Pretty much zero, I explained. What are all these professional people going to do with themselves and their experience. I know the Law Society of Scotland has suggested that they take on pro bono work for charities. I think this is an excellent idea as it will help the charities and keep their skills up to date. You never know, some of them might have an epiphany and decide to help those less fortunate than themselves.

Lots of people are going into teaching. The holidays are great, but the pay isn't. Mind you, you are guaranteed a good pension at the end of it. I thought about it briefly and then decided I'm not very good at following rules so it would be pointless.

No, I shall continue with the NLP and helping others find their entrepreneurial spirit!
