I haven’t had enough time this week to even see Prince Charming and my friends, let along blog. Such a manic week at work. I was working on the launch of a book, trying to keep one of my normal clients chugging along and on top of that I was pulled on to another client to help with a sell in to journalists and then recruit case studies for another part of the campaign. Basically, I spent the whole week on the phone and am totally exhausted.

I turned down the job that I was headhunted for a couple of weeks ago. It didn’t feel right for me, I didn’t think it was the right direction for my career. I decided after the first interview that it wasn’t for me but was convinced to go back for a second interview by my current boss (long story) but still didn’t like it. I’ve not regretted the decision since. Regretting the money slightly but I’m going to have a word with work and ask for a pay rise…we’ll see how well that goes down.

I really do need more money though because I’ve spent a fortune on clothes recently (all very necessary for my winter wardrobe), plus I’ve got a skiing holiday to pay for this month and ski gear to buy for January. Not even thinking about what I’ve got to spend for Christmas! Eek.

Planning a really lazy  day today. Prince Charming is at work (as usual on a Sunday – makes me sad) and wants to go to see Quantum of Solace later, not sure whether I really want to though, then I’ll miss the Strictly Come Dancing results (also makes me sad).

Phew, thank goodness Monday is over. Don’t have to do that for another week!

Horrid day today, had to lie to work claiming I have a dr’s appointment on Wednesday morning when in fact I’m going for the interview. My boss’ wife works at the rival agency – what are the chances I’ll run into her at the interview?!

Spent the whole evening pulling together my coverage portfolio for the interview. Wish I could have spent it with Prince Charming though. He’s just sat forlornly at the end of the sofa waiting for some attention.

It better be worth it. If anyone’s reading this, I need good vibes sent to me between 9 and 10 am GMT on Wednesday. Please?!

 

Champagne Haze October 18, 2008

Such a gorgeous day today. I’ve even got washing drying on the line, in mid-October. Whoever says global warming doesn’t affect us is crazy!

I was drining champagne last night. Quite a lot of champagne. Started after work when we were celebrating a big win, our chairman put his card behind the bar and then we carried on after he left.  Then I had to leave to go and meet Prince Charming, his friend and the friend’s girlfriend. Seeing as I’d started on the champers I thought I’d carry on. Maybe those last two were a mistake. Suffering a bit today though.

I don’t mind too much though because it’s sunny and because Carrie and Samantha aren’t in tonight so I have the house to myself with Prince Charming and we get to spend the whole day together tomorrow!!

So, I sent my CV over to the rival company who’d head hunted me. Haven’t heard anything yet and I’m getting more and more nervous by the day. Now that I’m in the mind set of leaving my job I’ve also started looking for others. I’m not desperate to leave but I’m going to start putting the feelers out there to see what’s around. Anyone got any jobs going as an Account Mananger / Press Officer doing charity work?!
