Working 9 (half 8) to 5

Interesting(ish) work facts thus far....


1. Stationary is sacred and kept under lock and key
2. Burping out loud is totally normal
3. People hang up when they hear my voice on the other end of the phone an average 10-15 times an hour
4. Baking/bringing your own cake in for no reason other than you want to eat cake is seen as odd
5. I must not wear racerbacks (apparently, even with a cardigan) due to male colleagues' x-ray vision
6. The roof is the place to hang out at lunch
7. The coffee machine is turned off from 11-2 (?!)




The Desk Of Doom



Moving Country by Numbers

As Elvis would say; I'm all shook up.



1 girl, 1 new, exciting country, 1 new (beautiful) flat, 1 new job role (complete with desk), 1 new (female) boss to impress. 1 Mosquito bite (as known).



Rewind 15 days



The crackling sound of Radio 4. 1 girl, waking up at 11am. -1 degree temperature outside. 1 half asleep human being fumbling with curtains, opening to reveal the following:

1 itinerary planned, 1 tearful goodbye. 1 mindless duty free purchase. 2 plane rides, 1 half-eaten onboard meal, 4 partially watched average movies.

1 panic attack as luggage carousel whirrs around with no sign of own belongings. 1 sigh of relief. 1 intimidating look from immigration employee. 1 visa stamp in passport. 

1 flower garland placed around neck. 1 public display of affection. 1 tut overheard in the distance. 1 (air conditioned) car ride to flat. Multiple oohs and aahs heard from balcony. 1 last burst of energy.

1 large yawn. 2 eyelids close.
