Hello Y'all
Things have been... well I don't know what to say about it. I have some things going on that aren't that, shall we say, "convenient" to be posted here. Don't you nosey-parkers start asking, cos there's really nothing to say. So, other than that, pretty much smooth sailing, I suppose. Did I mention that I've started working full time? Well I'm now in a publishing company (Yes, still in the books industry. Boring person that I am.) doing the post of Editorial Executive. Sounds wicked for a fresh graduate, doesn't it? I can assure you, it is not one bit. Oh, the title is nice and all, but the job is pretty much that of a Personal Assistant. Think 'Devil Wears Prada', minus Cruella Devil and the fancy clothes.
Oh, what I'll do for those clothes in the movie. But I digress...
So anyway, my new boss is British, and very witty.. in his eccentric sort of way. But aren't all British the same?... Oh did I mention the gorgeous nephew? The guy is in Washington, but my boss showed me some pictures. Oh Lord *swoons*. I swear the guy jumped right out of a Hugo Boss Ad.
So anyway, my boss is nice and all, but the man is infuriating! I reckon that the words 'organised' and 'decisive' must be taboo to him. Anyhow, I'm still alive and fighting. As Emily (first assistant to Miranda Prestley) would say, "I have some very large shoes to fill". The previous assistant got promoted and she's been working six years with the man. SIX FREAKING YEARs! How can one adequately fill the shoes of another who has a six year working relationship with the boss.
The upside of this place, however, are the people in it. I think my colleagues are great. Well pretty much my luck to come in and not have stepped on anyone's shoes in the process. To top it off, I'm the baby of the company (age-wise), so I'm forgiven for being ignorant, and people do tend to take care of me along the way. I've got a clique already! Whoopee for me! Oh, and I think I'm putting on some major weight. I've been fed too well. And there's going to be cake tomorrow, again. Well, I figured that I need to cut down on my food intake. At least that can help to keep the weight down a little. I hope, at least.
Well, it's getting late, and I should be going off to bed now. I'll wait a little though. Good night, y'all.
