P&G

It's hard keeping up a blog when you're a working professional! So Thursday night last week I made a (quite successful) cake to take into work for my last day! I was expecting a card, maybe, but in actual fact around 11am on Friday nearly 20 people or so that make up my old department came and stood in a crowd and watched me open my presents - a box of chocolates, a breakfast set and a plant. Leaving drinks were in Wetherspoons with a good ten or so people there all in all, went to the Black Swan for a bit too!

Saturday was German refresher class again, champagne-buying, drinks in the Goose and a lovely bubbly dinner party at B's to celebrate her finishing her PhD. Sunday was a lie-in (no Great North Run), preparation for P&G including a practice-drive and finishing watching Pride & Prejudice. I also applied for a job in Paris and have since turned down an invitation to interview due to very bad timing.

Since Monday morning, I have been being paid to arrive late and finish early and have longer lunch-breaks, drink coffee, chat to my new colleagues, watch powerpoint presentations and DVDs, shadow people, read some stuff and maybe make a few notes. Oh, and eat nice yummy food after some important P&G guy from the states comes over for a breakfast meeting and early morning awards ceremony.

Anna had Simon and Carly round for dinner on Monday, and Lucy round for dinner tonight, and yesterday I was at Bar Beyond for salsa (for once). Tomorrow I have German and then Im going to the Turkish baths, and then Friday its the Black Swan and the Cooperage. No wonder I am knackered. Plus, I have all my nutrition training to learn!
