Googled, Rumbled & Troubled.
That's it for me folks, the world is too small. In my current position, two weeks prior to my start, my manager had found me on the internet, downloaded my picture and put it on my future desk. Just to backtrack a little he had mentioned during the interview that he knew I liked to write, I was...

Cell Phones and Curry
Can anyone advise me? I don't want a monthly phone, I just want to 'buy minutes' or do prepaid or whatever you call it? Back in Ireland they were called credit phones or 'ready to go' and were far more popular than their billed counterpart. It's what I'm used to, any advice? Also, why is there no...

Quiet Week in Exile (Bar the Voices in my Head)
And so some of the same problems have followed me to a degree. I still don't know where I'm going in terms of career. Admin is fine if there's something about it you love, the learning is the best part for me, beyond that it's the equivalent of watching paint dry. The irony is I'm working in a...

Tea, Turnips, 10 lbs, Office Witches and Week in Review!
I am trying to type rather swiftly and quietly as Rowan is conked in the crib next to the computer. This is an un-prepared update, so you'll just have to bear with me trying to squeeze Blogit in between the daily hoopla and my scheduled evening visit to Borders. Let me begin with last Saturday...

Leaky, leak.
Nauseous with sadness this morning, missing home even though I am glad I'm here. I knew there was a cry coming, I'll be the better for it though it's caught me by surprise, the homesickness and the depth of it. I'll be back on form soon enough. Catch you all then.

First Day Tip
Never wear control top pantyhose under a skirted suit to which you've pinned your retractable security I.D. It makes for an interesting muffled struggle in the bathroom cubicles.

Somebody on a Saturday
I guess something must've gotten broken or fixed in me, but I'm not the same girl I used to be. It's amazing how much a change of environment affects your mentality and your attitude. There's a lot to be said for fresh starts. I pulled my finger out, spoke to the owner of the kitchen design business...

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Moved in to the apartment Tuesday night. It was not the best night or indeed close to a good night. Homesickness caught up with me, as did the accompanying emotions of yet another move. I was reluctant to leave the support of my in-laws despite the cramped conditions (2 bedroom condo, figure it...
