Jamie has been working for the local newsagents since December as the paper boy on the train station at Springwood. He now does three mornings a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 5:45am till about 7:15am then he catches the bus to school.
David, the newsagent, says he only takes kids on that he's seen grow up and he knows the family (but Jamie got the job despite all that!). Once Jamie has done a while on the station he'll 'graduate' to working in the shop.
David tells us that Jamie is doing well, is starting to relax and is even laughing at David's jokes (time to pull him out I say). David said he was once commended by a customer for being kind enough to employ "those retarded boys on the train station." We had lots of fun at Jamie's expense with that one.
Then late the week before last Jamie got a phone call from Franklins, one of the local supermarkets, asking him to phone and arrange an interview. He promptly did so and had his interview, lasting all of about 5 minutes I think, on Wednesday. They told him he had the job on Thursday and he starts tomorrow. The Franklins work will be after school work so it won't clash with the newsagents until he graduates to the shop and then he can decide what he wants to do.
