Well yesterday went rather well I had a call from a temping agency with a publishing and media specialist branch, saying they could really do with someone on their books and could almost definitely get me some work, but they could only meet me on Friday - which I cannot do because I'll be in Oxford. So I've set a meeting up for next Thursday, apparently the person who deals with publishing and media only comes in on Thursday and Friday. This makes me skeptical about the actual volume of work they have to allocate, but it's worth a try.
I thought long and hard about delaying going to Oxford, but it's been planned for a while and the whole point of getting there this evening is so I can force Hannah into Debenhams (for late night shopping) so she can buy a dress to go to Saf's ball. Otherwise she'll have to do this on Saturday, but she won't get up early, which means that we will be in a panic about getting to Cambridge and getting ready. Also the earlier we get there the more time I get to spend with Cath who's over from Belgium for the ball. These things are important.
We also have to get masks that match Hannah's dress (whatever it's like) and all those lovely girly things that I'm very glad I only ever have to bother with in panto - where clashing colours are thankfully, obligatory.
Honestly these people that have big extravagant 21sts and ply their guests with booze, it's so damned inconsiderate.
I met with a proper temping agency yesterday and had to do both a typing and a spelling test for them - but they reckon they could possibly get me something starting next week - which is good. If I can power through with a week of temping, and then do this voice-over work, that's the rent more than covered for a month. Fingers crossed big-time for the v/o. My panto-scripts website is not getting off the ground very well, it needs a proper domain name and stuff. I'm actually thinking of submitting the scripts to an already existing online agency, but I think they assume rights for five years, which is very bad indeed.
It seems doubtful that my temp four days a week write and job seek one day a week thing will work. So I think I'll just give myself a writing week once a month or something.
However my goal of acheiveing temporary work within three weeks looks very possible though and will has put me on to a tutoring agency that is desperate for people in North London.
Right off to a meeting with another agency now.
