Reflection...

, , , ...

Almost another week has past and everything is going so quickly!!! There are just not enough hours in the day - if there were I would be blogging more! faint

I think at this point in January, it is a realistic time to re-evaluate your goals and reflect, honestly on the past year. In a nutshell, 2008 had it's highlights, but is very much a year to forget. I didn't really accomplish anything in 2008 - I just felt like a complete mess for the majority of it. It wasn't until mid - end of December that things finally looked up. I am please to say that the start to 2009 has been rather a good one *touch wood*.

I spent some time on my new website this week. I have managed to get some contributors for a giveaway when we launch. I am now just looking for like minded websites to partner up with us by link swapping, advertising, reviewing etc. The credit crusnch hasn't really helped things. People I need to speak to desperately seem so busy at the moment trying to cope with reduced marketing budgets and a pile on of work. It's not easy times.

My website isn't really that demanding. Girls n Gadgets is a venture of mine which I have thought up out of pure interest and for me is about providing good fun articles and content for people all over the world, than a money making venture. So any support is welcomed as this is done in my spare time and anyone interested in blogging/ advertising/ contributing should contact me on leila [@] girlsngadgets.com

Offline, things are going well. I am still loving the new job. The people really are great. I am a little anxious about doing the end of month reporting, but I think I should be OK... scared

Things with Jon are going great! His flatmate finally moved out and it's now just us two. It's been lovely to go home and relax together, cook for eachother and just generally enjoy eachothers company. I do love him so very much! love I think now, all I want to do is for me and him to go away for a long weekend. being in London all the time can be a real pain. Work is always busy for him and so, it would be nice to recharge the batteries somewhere quiet!

Anyway... hope everyone is doing well. Please leave me your comments as I really appreciate feedback...

Muchos Love...

Veggie-ism, Work and Projects.

, , , ...

I'm sorry I have been rather rubbish at updating lately, although I have been away and I have also been doing a lot of training at work and so I haven't really had time to update everyone!

I successfully finished my week of vegetarianism and it really was an eye opener for sure! For now though I can't see myself becoming a veggie, although I have noticably cut down the amount of meat I eat and it's all sub-concious which is the surprising thing. I do feel a lot better for doing it too bigsmile

On the work front, I started on the 5th Jan and until now have been training. The girl I am covering for maternity has now left and it's all down to me! worried Terri was so popular and good at her job, I have a really hard act to follow. So I guess there is a little bit of worry there. I know it's going to take time to build solid relationships and the work load is fine. But I can't help wanting to be fully up to speed! faint

As I may have mentioned before, my new job is very IT based. I work with the hardware server team at an investment bank. I have always been interested in techy stuff and for the past 3/4 years have wanted to do a degree/ qualification. After chatting with my manager and others, it turns out I can get training on site here and eventually have the possibility of becoming a fully qualified Unix/ Wintel Engineer bigsmile - I am so happy and can't believe my luck at landing in this job!!! yes

Due to concentrating on work, my Girls n Gadgets has had to take a back seat but I am back on the case and very excited again. I just need to hit up my girl @Mia and get her back on the case too. It won't take much I doubt as the girl is awesome bigsmile If you would like to be kept up to date on Girls n Gadgets, please follow @girlsngadgets

Finally, I'd just like to say that any UK Twitter readers, Twestival is on the 12th February - Please visit www.twestival.com for details.

Muchos Love to you all...

A Productive Day

, , , ...

Well, I have finally managed to motivate myself. It's taken a little longer than usual, but I am pleased to say the motivation has finally come! Yesterday I applied for loads of different jobs as well as emailing all of my agencies and registering on job sites. Today I have re-written my CV which I am rather happy with. I have also bought a domain name to create an online CV too... A friend of mine is helping me design it. I am super excited. In fact, we have the design, it's now a case of putting online bigsmile

In other news, I have a temp role starting tomorrow for a week. Despite the money not being great, it's something, so I am a little happier that I will have some money coming in next Friday and the following Friday. I really hope all of my hard work pays off. I just need to keep on top of my agencies - annoy them so much they will just want to place me to get me off their backs lol.

You may remember a while back I had just bought an iPhone. I am still loving it and have recently downloaded a new twitter client called Twitterfon which I think is great! There are a few bugs that need ironing out, but most apps on the iPhone are in the same boat. If they can just sort out the small issues, they could be streets ahead of any other free Twitter app. A lot of people are talking about Tweetie, I have to admit, it sounds pretty awesome - Lets hope it doesn't dissappoint as I do love Twittering!!! If you are on Twitter, add me Swannny

Thank you to all of my friends out there for their kind messages on my 'come back' post. I have missed a lot of you, but I can assure you, I am back...

Goodnight Operaland
