Job and identity

I have got a job.

Yes, really.

A proper one. Working with historical archives.

I started today and it is wonderful. I was quite tired of temp working, although it was interesting getting to know different places and people.

Being new, I got a tour of the place and was introduced to so many that I only remember half of the names. However, what has stuck to me for the whole day, was a comment I received early in the day. I had to have my picture taken for an ID-card and the man asked if I thought the picture was alright. It could have been worse, so I smiled and said it was fine, but my hair looks a bit messy. And without any irony he just says: "Well, you look just like an archivist, don't you?"

So finally I am no longer a student, no longer unemployed, no longer a temp worker, but have been identified as an archivist...
