settling in
I had the handover for my first Edinburgh temp job yesterday - turns out I'm not just a HR Administrator but also the receptionist - I'm replacing 2 temps! Should be good though, the team seems really fun and hopefully it won't be too crazy.
I'm of two minds about what to do about accommodation - I haven't found the 'perfect flat' yet, which isn't really surprising since I haven't even been here a week. The thing is I'm getting quite comfy in my hostel and they do good long-term rates, and if I help out a bit each day accommodation becomes much much cheaper - this is really tempting because it may allow me to stay here longer as I won't have to work as much...it'll be a really different lifestyle to the one I've had so far in the UK - not so many luxuries and no personal space - but it may be the most sensible thing for me to do - not to mention the fact that the hostel is a really social place to be!
Anyway I've been having an excellent time here so far, met some pretty cool people, seen lots of bands and have spent almost all my spare money at various pubs all over the Old Town. Hmmm maybe this hostel lifestyle isn't so cheap after all??
