So, I left my fundraising job.

I was looking forward to starting a great deal, and I can't fault the company or the people I worked with, but I unfortunately had to leave my new job only four days in. This does mean I'm now unemployed until I find a new job, with my time free and my bank account gathering dust once more. It's the perfect time to commission or hire me, hint hint.

Without going into too much detail, it turns out that charity fundraising is the kind of job where you see the worst of people. Even indoors, non-chugging behaviour fundraising causes the general public to react with disgust and anger, and it wore me down. A particularly horrible person stopped to berate me and share his awful views, and I realised that I just could not do the job. My team leader told me that, yes, you get people like that sometimes.

It was an experience, and I will never look at any fundraiser the same way again; I already have an article planned about the way people treat you as a fundraiser, so look out for that for further details. I was feeling very low for a couple of days, but I'm determined to get back on track and be productive.
