Ed secures a role with an independent production company.

Ed manages to secure a role at an independent production company, complete with regular income.

Ed’s prospects are looking rather good as he takes advantage of a new ‘blind recruiting initiative’ to apply for a post at an independent production company.  He secures the role of ‘Assistant Deputy Acting Head of Development for Made Content’  which comes with a regular income, free sleep coaching and £250 worth of ski-lift vouchers.  Not only that, but it appears he doesn’t have to do very much work. The only problem he has to deal with now is a mouse problem since Queenie, the cat downstairs, seems to have departed this life at the same time as Elgar.
