my dream job... I finally am living it.. full time designer. I left my job after 16 years in December of last year... had been wanting to do that for some time and when Covid hit... that was it for me. I actually still freelance for them which is fine as I can do it from home and it's a very easy job to do, plus the money doesn't hurt, lol.
I always wanted to do something with design and landed up in publications when I first started out. I worked on one of Australia's most popular women's magazines for a few years... we worked weekends and through the night when Princess Diana passed... was an amazing experience to see how a popular magazine functioned. I love working in publications. but I love designing more, lol.
Everyone sounds amazing at what you do and what your dreams are. I am waiting, not so patiently, until this Covid mess is over and Australia becomes part of the world again and then, as I told my husband... I will make his head spin with all the travelling I want us to do... and then I will scrap them.

Jo, you are always way too sweet to me.
When I was younger, I wanted to be an editor, so your former job fascinates me. I bet it was amazing. I was up all night the night Princess Di died too, but mostly like so many others waiting and praying she's be okay. I can't say I was a huge Di fan, nothing against her, just not into non-Disney princesses I guess. It was knowing she had those two little boys at home who needed their mom that had me praying.
I miss all the magazines you used to be able to get. There is nothing better than a good magazine. I remember thinking how naughty I was when I would sneak one of my mom's True Story magazines to read! LOL
I am so happy you are working your dream job now, Jo, and so glad we get to do it here together.
