It was a quiet and cold morning, as I just arrived to London. I was trying to accomodate for the new weather that was torturing me, and looking for jobs to save on top of my seasonal money.
Before coming here I was already working with the SSL, doing the kit swaps for the draft. There is not much to add about this, but it was really fun to do regardless, and I had time before starting the season.
Now that I got together with my new team, there was a little less free time to work, but I still needed money for my seasonal training ; everybody does it so I'll need to get it if I want to keep up with the rest of the team (and even the league). That's why I started looking for jobs again, and this time I found kind of the same thing I was already doing. It was the Sticker Factory, working to prepare the launch of the Sticker website by designing the stickers. They were looking for someone to do the kit swaps (as I did before) for the sticker designs and it was paying per season. But there was one thing I missed when applying : I saw something like 10+ swaps to do per season, and for some reason I thought that we were paid by swap, starting with a minimum of 10 swaps. I applied and was accepted by Tonto Tut, the manager of the factory. I started working as fast and as hard as I could, and as soon as I saw some swaps to be done in my workload I did them. I did them so fast, that I noticed my workload was empty by the first three matchdays (I was not playing that often, maybe I had too much spare time...).
When I asked Tonto about it, that is when he made me understand that in fact those 10 swaps (or maybe more than 10 at times) were the seasonal workload. It was funny and silly at the same time, and now I have to wait until next season to have something to do... unless I can help some of the others to finish their workload. I noticed that our OM Ryan does also work here, and at times I reach to him to see if he needs some help. There is also a new recruit, Reece Munro, and I'll enjoy navigating in-between everyone's desks to see how each one is going.
I guess that's all I can say for now, see you later...
PS: When I find the time I'll take you to visit the Stamford Bridge, and we'll explore the memories of one of my favorite football clubs ever.
