I'm back!

Damn it, just two months in and I've only gone and done the one thing I said I wouldn't - I abandoned my blog.

In my defence I have had good reason. Firstly my other half has had his appendix out (he want back for more since he enjoyed having his gall bladder out at Christmas sooo much!) so I've been attempting to play Florence Nightingale (not entirely sure how successful I've been, but he is moving around more now which is good.)

Secondly I've been undertaking a couple of brief work placements, the first at Brazen PR, a consumer agency in Manchester, and more recently at Lewis PR, a technology and professional services agency (also in Manchester).

The last few weeks have been a real eye opener and I can now confidently say that any doubts I had about my career change have been blown away - moving to PR was definitely the right choice.

And what with the recession over who knows I may even have a shot at a job soon... fingers and toes crossed!

I've had plenty of food for thought about the reality of working in PR, the use of social media in the workplace and the annoyance that is blog spamming (that's nothing to do with my work placements , just that this blog was spammed to high heaven in my absence) and I will be sharing these thoughts and observations with you over the next few weeks.

Right then, I'm off to attend to a massive pile of job applications then get an early night so I can get up early and make sure I get my facebook vanity url.
