Well haven’t posted for a little while, had a hectic week or two! Time is flying past too fast this year!!

Well I’ve often been asked how I got into this ‘job’ so thought I would explain how! I was working in a normal job that I did enjoy but the management were increasingly getting on my nerves. I hate working somewhere that is totally disorganised and when you try to do something about it you are either totally ignored or your efforts go totally unnoticed. I made some changes which were going well, but other staff were just too bone idle to keep on top of things and I just ended up with more and more to do when I went into work. Which I didn’t mind but it was very disheartening that nobody else seemed to care and were getting increasingly sloppy and idle. Grrr. I decided a change of career was definitely in order, yet again I have had a few different careers as was never truely happy in my work. Those job pages and job sites became a regular read for me, but I still couldn’t find something that actually really appealed.

Until one day when I saw an advert in the paper for ‘Escorts wanted’. I couldn’t believe it at first that there would be an advert for such a job, it firstly amused me, then started to totally intrigue me. I didn’t reply to that advert but it did lead to me researching more and more into escorting. Firstly out of pure curiosity and then because I had decided it was the ‘job’ for me. It took a while to actually make the leap, but once I had decided that was it. I soon had my website up and running and was handing in my notice to my employer. Yep, I firstly put my toes in the water and thought I’d carry on working too, but once I had the taste for it it was only a couple of weeks before I left my other job. I decided I wanted to do this properly and realised it was something I would really enjoy.

I haven’t turned back since then. I think I was always meant to do this job, and it is a career I really do enjoy. I love working for myself, I have had my own business in the past and I am always happier being self employed than working for soembody else. I can pick my own hours and have fun whilst working. I meet lots of interesting people and get to go to different places. Of course there are the risks, probably more than most jobs, and it certainly isn’t a job that many people could do. You really need to have your head screwed on the right way and it helps if you are doing it for the right reasons. Research is everything but there is support out there if you look.

Well I finally had a night off and got round to going to the cinema and seeing Mama Mia. yes I know better late than never! Really really enjoyed it, proper girlie film. Although a bit silly in places, it was really well done, really makes you want to sing along and dance. In fact it’s the only film I’ve ever been to that the audience sat through all the end credits and actually gave a round of applause at the end!! Very worth going to see and a great evening out.

It sure looks like winter has arrived here! Ok I know we haven’t had a summer at all, but I just wish this rain would go away! It must’ve rained just about every day for certainly that past month, if not the one before too. I wold just like a nice dry autumn, not to have winter forced straight upon us! It really is not nice out there tonight, and I am getting fed up of having to pull on my wellies and squelch through ever increasing amounts of mud every day at the stables. We shouldn’t have mud at this time of year, it’s just not right.

But at least our weather isn’t as bad as it it for those poor people in New Orleans and Louisianna. Gustav is certainly showing his strength, I just hope the levees hold for them this time. There will be enough damage as it is, but those poor people don’t need that mass flooding again when they’ve just started to get their lives back.

I know what it’s like in New Orleans with a hurricane coming. I was there in 2002 when Isadore struck. At the time we didn’t realise exactly how much danger we could’ve been in, and how lucky we were. It was bad, but of course no where near the scale of Katrina. A lot of people boarded up and headed out of town before Isadore hit land, we stayed where we were, right in the heart of New Orleans. The rain came down, the winds took roofs off, but at least those levees held that time. The streets flooded and all the roads going out of the city either flooded or got totally submerged, so we couldn’t leave even if we had wanted to. We were stuck in New Orleans for a few days until the water subsided and the roads opened again. It wasn’t until three years ago when Katrina struck that I realised how lucky we were, and it really angered me that the US government didn’t step in a lot sooner to help all those poor people. I just hope that they are ok this time, at least the government has actually evacuated this time. I just wonder how long it will be until the sea claims New Orleans and it ends up under water for good. I think that will happen one day.
