Quickie?

I feel très guilty about not updating my blog lately, I've probably lost any readers I had because they are probably fed up of clicking on my url and then seeing the same posts again and again - I don't blame them one bit. But with a whirlwind of events happening, I haven't exactly had the time to sit down and write properly, and I still don't have the time, so that's why this one will be a quickie post. Forgive me, my darlings, if I could show you my puppy dog eyes right now I would.

Alright, where should I start? It would only seem appropriate to talk about my new job, because that's the only thing I feel like writing about. I don't necessarily like writing about anything job-related on a public blog, because we all know that could be potentially disasterous, but this is mostly me adjusting to a new office environment and bla bla blah so I think that should be okay. So. I am freezing my arse off, where I'm sitting. I mean, compared to the sad excuse of an aircond I used to have in my old office, this one's blowing air straight from Antartica. Note to self : Find fluffy but stylish cardigan that goes with everything. I knew I should've brought back some of my jackets from Melbourne! Ugh. As I'm typing this, my fingers are turning blue black. Fine, I'm exaggerating, but I swear my fingernails look pale. Anywhoodle, if estrogen had a smell, then this place is reeking of it. The whole section of the office that I'm sitting in (which is the main section) hosts Female, Marie Claire, Seventeen, NuYou and this other travel mag, so 99.9% of us are women - I say 99.9 percent because there's one guy who classifies as female more than male - he has the cutest desk in the office, complete with pink table mat and colourful, scattered lollies. Then there's the other section which I don't really get to see - where Glam, Men's Health, EH are all at. That section's not so freezing.

Let's cut to the chase. I'm currently working on a few beauty columns, a far cry from writing about CARS. It's funny how I've gone from one end of the magazine spectrum to the other end, isn't it? There's a vast difference, obviously, from writing about the handling of a MINI to bronzers which help you achieve Hayden Panettiere's golden glow. I'm still getting into the groove of things of course, but I'm fairly optimistic :) One thing's for sure - I spend hours and hours doing research, because unless I'm a professional makeup artist, I've got to be sure I'm dispensing correct advise.

Crap, gotta go. Pinkie swear I'll continue this blog soon!
