Buckwheat Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Bank holiday is such a weird expression. What holiday did you have? We do not celebrate Pentecost either, it is not a public holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Ask not why there is a bank holiday, simply enjoy the long weekend, unless you work in certain industries in which case look to bank holidays with dread (looking at you, brief stint as a barwoman/waitress) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont celebrate pentacost either (we exchanged it for our national day, June 6th) but the pentecost weekend is traditionally the weekend to get married.

So no-one could by bankrupted on Christmas, for example. And it's because of Pentecost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are you thinking about doing if you don't become a journalist? Any ideas yet? Writer is still on top of the top of the list, but since that's such a fickle trade I want to be equipped to be the other things too. Just need to figure out what. I like journalism but I don't think I want to practice it for ten more years, let alone forty. Also, I'm now wearing a Gryffindor scarf I bought at the Harry Potter Exhibition, which was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlot Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It's like 2007 again. I should be working, but I spent 45 minutes reading spam on this Board.

The print media reporting that I studied in those days is a dusty relic and the media companies are struggling to keep afloat. It's such a crazy time now. Everyone has access to the means of distribution, but so little money. Find a career like technical writing that can support you while working on writing you enjoy.

Not now and not as a profession, but I have to get that one out of my system before I die. Be brave and go for writing. Just have a safety net to fall back on, should something go amiss. Technical writing or content writing for multinational companies or online journalism could all serve as such. Aww, good for you. It turns out my cousin finally jumped on the Harry Potter band wagon too. He isn't that late to the party, but it was definitely more exciting to be a HP fan fifteen years ago.

Harlot Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 No reason you should but thanks for the welcome. I think this the first time I've signed in to the board since 2011. Some old spammers let me know of Lord o' Bones' passing and the memorial thread. So of course I came by to see if the spam still flows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just telling Mandy how little the Board changed in 10 years: same people, same topics, same replies. It's interesting reading threads with people I spent so much online time with. I was a stay-at-home dad for a year and spent many days spamming with Lany, Pebbles, Zabs, Mandy, Space Bandito... Some of whom I've now met in real life and communicate with via other methods. Spam people are good people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
