Pros and cons…

…of being employed

Pros

- Money! I know where my next pay cheque is coming from – literally! No more street corners for me... (Just joking!!!)

- Purpose!!!: It’s so nice to wake up in the morning and actually know what I’m going to be doing. I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve created random ‘fun’ tasks for myself; which actually end up being not so fun!(Understatement of the year!) A challenge to clean your bathroom in under 10 minutes is NOT fun! It’s torturous and you’ll smell like bleach for the rest of the day. 

- No more morning/daytime telly: Thanks goodness!!! I’m such a glutton for punishment when it comes to this. I sit there thinking how awful it is and yet never change the channel and go back for more the next day. I actually go to a point where I ‘enjoyed’ Jeremy Kyle (*hangs head in shame*). I had to stop watching telly for a while when I caught myself QVC for almost an hour!!! (Nothing against QVC but watching it for an hour is a bit much…)

- Sexy Business Outfits: I love getting dressed up for work!!! I always try to over do it... some days 'slutty secretary' (hehehe!) other days 'haute couture'... I imagine I’ll get bored of this pretty soon though but it’s like playing dress up! Love it!!!

Cons

- Lack of sleep: I miss it so much!!! *sobs*

- Coffee: This is like daily punishment for not getting enough sleep! (Why does it have to be so bitter?!) Each sip is torture!

- Eating cold and boring lunches: I can’t binge anymore on pizza and chicken wings (and cheese on toast and huge dollops of creamy pasta and ice cream and sticky toffee pudding – okay you get the point, I’m a binge eater!) I’m sat on my tush all day barely moving or exercising so the pounds are gonna pile on if I don’t watch what I eat. I’m really trying to be good here but it’s so hard – I gave up the other day and binged on a whole Nandos chicken, chips and rice and even had dessert too! I felt so incredibly guilty but at the same time I felt so fantastic from all that good good good food! (It was a very confusing day for me… hehe!)

- Office gossip: I cannot be bothered with this; I won’t spread stuff about other people. I usually won’t listen either – unless it’s really interesting in which case – Dish! Dish!! Dish!!!

- Walking around in heels: Sore feet – nuff said!

Till next time…

Dear Blackberry...

Goodness Gracious me! I have such a love-hate relationship with my blackberry. At times, it’s the best thing ever – it keeps me connected with family and friends several thousands of miles away and at other times, it’s like an awful plague! (Not to mention the numb fingers I get from over-use... ).

Anyway, so this afternoon I was headed home on the train and when I got to my stop, I got off and before long, I felt that familiar vibration from blackberry. Before long, I was sucked in and texting with Olympic standard vigour. I was laughing at a random picture of a goat in a dress someone sent me when BANG!!! I walked into a pillar. Talk about being shocked! And the pain!!! My head was throbbing and it took several seconds to figure out what just happened. (I also quickly glanced around hoping no one else had noticed this faux pax – I don’t think they did. At least I hope they didn’t!) The worst part of all of this was once I got over the initial shock, what did I do next? I went on my blackberry to tell my friends about it. Somebody help me get rid of this addiction!!!!! (My head still hurts by the way and there’s a huge lump on my forehead from where I walked into the pillar).

In other news, I finally landed a job!!! Got told this week and I’m so excited!!! Look out London! Lola’s landed! And some real money too - champagne for everyone!!!


Till next time...
