time to get a proper job, or is it?

I always knew the day would come, I didn't realise it would be quite like this though.  Trying to find work in a pandemic strewn country where thousands were on furlough (id never even heard the world furlough until 2020!) and many many businesses were closed was going to be a job in itself.  Coupled with not actually knowing what I wanted to do or where.  Anyway cv freshly updated I entered the world of job websites for the first time in over 22 years. Wow what a different place it is. CVs are electronically scanned for keywords and unceremoniously dumped successful ed if none appear, no longer are further employers keen to know where you have worked since you left school or whether you intend to have children. I noticed that Carer and Delivery Driver jobs are about all that are on offer and decide im not massively keen on both.  Needs must I applied for a couple of driver jobs whilst listening to the news.  Hearing the government are employing 25k Contact Tracers to help track and control the spread of Rona I hit google  and see if I can find one of these roles.  Soon enough I see a Midlands agency are employing and send them my cv.  Its a WFH role for a minimum of 12weeks full time, rotating shifts covering 8am-8pm 7 days a week.
Within days I get a call to say I have been successful and would be starting soon.
As I write I am six weeks into my new role as a Covid Contact Tracer. Im aghast and impressed that in all this time that ive had two calls to make, whilst I understand why (issues with data and less cases now anyway) its a shocking waste of money.  So ive got creative with the 7.5 hours a day I have to spend by my pc.  A £50 sewing machine and a bunch of clean old duvets and I was in the face mask making business in the blink of any eye! Ive sold over 70 masks and have a nice store of them.  Oh and I bought a Horsebox.....

I thought it a plan to perhaps run a horse box gin bar and operate at the new smaller event we are now allowed outside. I spent a few weeks repainting it, recovering the floor and getting the electrics sorted. It was the most fun doing it all - even the girls came over to help test it out - the hangover was enormous haha.  Right now im triple tasking and its keeping my mind and body nice and busy!
