More news. Roll-up, roll-up.

Bloody hell, it's all news, news, news at Tom Mayhew HQ.

In exciting news, I am going to be on the local radio next week with Leslie Stuart Tate, as they want to interview us about the Dar Papillon Comedy Club. It's a BBC local radio station, so it's a real one. With a studio and things like that. My first reaction when Leslie said they wanted to interview us was "oh...that's weird". I'm not used to this.

In more boring (but probably more important to people in "the real world") news, I have an interview tomorrow morning for a position as a seasonal employee at The Royal Mail. The vacancy is listed as being the night shift, so why they have told me to come in for an interview at 9am is beyond me. It's quite annoying, frankly.

I'll have to get up stupidly early to get the bus, meaning I once again get the joy of wearing a suit on the bus. Oh yes, I'll be wearing an outfit that is supposed to stand for importance and wealth...Firstly, I am travelling on the bus as I have never been able to come close to afford driving lessons, never mind a car. Secondly, I am travelling to an interview for a minimum wage job.

On the plus-side, it could lead to me finally becoming employed, but at the same time it could foil my chances of gigging, being a night job...Not that I'm expecting to get it - I didn't get a part-time position at Tesco just last month, so I'm entirely grounded regarding my chances of getting any job. The way things are going right now in the job-hunt side of things, I'd probably sell my 3 A Levels for £100 each if such a thing were possible. I'd sell my GCSEs for £10 each, or all 11 for £100. I'll throw in my certificate for being on the Gifted and Talented register for 50p.

Not that I want to sound ungrateful at all for the nice creative things that have been going well recently - not at all, it's been fantastic. It's just a bit frustrating to be in your local paper for the first time for doing something interesting and exciting, but on the same day having to send an e-mail inquiring about a vacancy at PoundWorld.

If someone could pay me for just being a nice person, that would be lovely. "Professional nice guy Tom Mayhew". I'd love that job. I've got tons of experience that makes me perfect for the role.


Thanks for reading,

Tom.
