Yello! I’m back…what from I have no idea, as I haven’t
actually been doing much…well apart from enjoying life as a lady of
semi-leisure / semi-lady of leisure. It’s
soon to come to an end though, in fact it has started to come to an end.
I may not have been flushed down the toilet and set free, but I think I'm on my way down the drain pipe...Monday through Thursday my alarm goes off any
time between 6 and 7am, which let’s face it, for someone who doesn’t actually
work, is early! I arise and go about my exciting, much loved part time job as a
trainer – personal trainer, running trainer, class instructor. I’ve finished the course with all the
colourful, some loved, some despised characters and am now a fully qualified,
fully insured part time PT!
Now
why, Nemo, if this is a much loved part time job would you not do this full time,
I hear you ask? And the answer is I am
not sure I really know. I think primarily
it is much loved because it is part time, secondly I have a mahoosive hole in
my not so mahoosive savings pot which needs plugging and I’m not sure the first
year embarking on a new career is the best time to plug such a hole, thirdly I
don’t know if I’m very good at this or indeed if I want to not wear a normal
bra for 5 out of 7 days of the week, take three showers a day and look
longingly at my dresses and skirts in the closet wishing I could have a girly
day and finally, I am not a risk taker. Never have been, never will be (and no,
I don’t want to change, that’s the whole point, this is me, conservative,
sensible, not a risk taker!) and therefore the thoughts of taking myself out of
the corporate world for another year to see if I can make a success of this,
then possibly fail and have to go back into the corporate world after two
years, is a risk too far for me. Nope! So for now, for me, I’m embarking on life as a PTPT (part time personal trainer J), while holding out for the relatively highly paid job that will plug the mahoosive hole in my sub-mahoosive savings pot, will pay my approx €1800 a month rent, bills and commitments and allow me time and energy to train for an ironman 70.3 (did I not mention that?) and progress my PT-PT business. Life is good!
