Action packed week!

Have you ever had one of those weeks where everything seems to come to a head at once?

Last week, I had one. Oh yes! Every day I was working and had something going on either before or after work. (Multi-tasking ftw!)


All in all, my week consisted of meeting up with friends, seeing dinosaurs come to life, meeting one of my literary idols and watching my home county take home the Sam Maguire cup in the All Ireland!

Dino Love!

The lads hanging out with Sam

Caitlin Moran and I, what a legend she is!

I'm still recovering, but sometimes having too much on is more fun than nothing at all! Will keep you updated on any impending madness once I'm fitting fit again! 

Crazy Commuting

I have a new job. It is mentally stimulating, interesting and the day flies by so quickly! Then of course, there is the commute.

There is a reason why people wear headphones on public transport. I have categorized the main noise  offenders into a few groups, let's see how many of them you can spot:

- The 'my phone call is so important/interesting, I want everyone to join in' person
- The serial cougher/sniffer. There's always one!
- The 'Excited /had too much sugar child', generally doesn't bother me, unless I'm trying to sleep.
- The 'Teen Gossip Meeting' crowd. Seriously, I know who is going out with who, lads they like and their general likes and dislikes just from listening to them natter on.
- The 'one who can't chew with their mouth closed' person, or the person with smelly food. I honestly don't know which one is worse.

OK, so I really can't complain!

Aaand now I feel better. This blog can be pretty therapeutic, plus if this is all I've got to be complaining about then I'm doing OK. To be fair, I've learned a range of new skills, outside of work I have learned how to sleep on a bus, how to navigate and how to read books without getting motion sickness. Hurrah! Inside of work I'm constantly learning new things and putting them into practice. Genuinely feel very lucky to have this opportunity. (Note: Do not mess it up!)

Will keep you all updated on where the winds of time take us, hold on, it might be bumpy, we might end up on the scenic route, but we'll all get there in the end!

A staple read for modern women...

I have just finished reading 'How to be a Woman' by Caitlin Moran. I stayed up til 4am so I could finish it, it was the epitome of what one would call a page turner. Moran deals with how women are perceived my popular culture, in the media and of course, by other women. She rants and reminisces, all the time weaving her stories with humour and charisma.

For every woman who has read Bridget Jones, watched Sex and the City or has ever wondered why on earth we women jam our feet into horrendously uncomfortable shoes, this is a must read.
