"Hi, I'm Jess"

Starting a new job is never easy. You're always the new person that has to be introduced to everyone and repeat the same information over and over again, while trying to come across as cool and collected so that you're employer is reminded they hired the right person.

I just started interning at 2oceansibe, and despite my nerves and first day awkwardness I'm loving it. I can say that I've done more in the last 2 days here then I ever did at my last job. On my first morning I (not sure how) totally forgot to eat breakfast so by 11:00 I was feeling pretty close to passing out. I made it through nonetheless, and when lunch time came I fed myself like a bergie at a buffet. I know as time goes on I'll become accustomed to the team and their ways and start to fit in nicely. Hopefully I will no longer have to eat lunch alone in my car, which might I add is parked in Cape Quarter parking all day due to lack of parking.. therefore I am - R70 poorer each day. So from tomorrow, I need to find myself a parking on the street. I did this for my interview and came back to find a lovely R300 parking on my window. Thank - you traffic department, I now use that pretty pink slip every time I park somewhere I'm not supposed to, thus avoiding more fines.

Got big plans for the weekend.. starting to hit the Trance Dance scene with my mates as they have fallen prey to the music and well, If I don't join them... I will soon be a full blown social recluse.

Wish me luck.

Words for thought .

I am one of the lucky few to still be on holiday ( and possibly unlucky as I too am unemployed). My previous internship at Top Billing Magazine ended briefly when the magazine was taken off the shelves. (The hunt is on). Leaving on Saturday for Cape Town and am very excited to get back to the city and friends. I've moved into a new flat in Wembley Square, with a guy friend of mine.. which will make for lots of fun and interesting stories for you all.

Just a quick moment.. please take time out to read www.bradsbrainteaser.blogspot.com - a friend of mine has recently been diagnosed with Cancer and this is his blog about his journey. He writes so well and is so positive, will most definitely be worth your while.

I am off to start on my 2012 project, to skateboard like a pro. Ill try and video some of it, guaranteed to be a laugh.

Ciao.

can we start over?

So its been forever and a day since I've posted.. again. Feel like towards the end of last year I just got lazy and lost motivation to write.. one of my resolutions this year is to try and write everyday.

2011 was filled with so much stuff...

Crushes..good times with friends..people leaving..new people..new homes etc etc but will get to all that in due time.

Watch this space for good things to come!!
