just under, it almost makes up for my uniform being a lilac shirt with a clip on tie and polyester trousers.

it's pretty much an entry level position. local government is generally well paid (at least here), i guess because you don't get bonuses or promotions (if you want to move upwards, you have to apply with everyone else). obviously being in london helps as well.

it's not my label, no. i don't actually have my own label, although the one i work for has a 'proper' staff of myself and someone else and a bunch of peripheral volunteers. i am 'label manager', which sounds pretty grand i spose. basically i am responsible for our online content, mail order, a & r, dealing with any enquiries that come in and lots of production-side issues - artwork, promotional copies, videos etc etc. i'm also going to be taking on a number of industry-side admin duties over the next month, dealing with distributors and PRS and catco and other things i barely understand. fun!
