Looks like good news on the job front. Originally I was hired as a visiting lecturer, which means I just got paid for the work I did, nothing else. Now, the pay was extremely good, but it did mean that I didn't get any money for holidays like Christmas, Easter, and this long, long summer, during which I haven't been able to secure any temp work and have had to rely on my final wage pack (which was good, fortunately) and the pathetically small amounts this government hands out to people who are unemployed. God knows how people live on £56 per week long term. The government reckons that this is enough to survive on, but really, it's not.
Anyway, I went into work yesterday to sign my new temp contract (which would've been more hours and more money) and was told that they're probably going to fast track a new permanent position for me. Yay! It'll take away the financial pressure because it means I'll be paid all year round instead of just for the hours I've worked. True, it's more responsibility, which is scary, but it's so much more stable for me.
Anyway, back to my reading journal. I've written an Introduction to Horror Literature, which basically goes into what horror is, etc, and talks about a Clive Barker story, 'Rawhead Rex' as an example. Hope anyone who reads it finads it interesting :-)
