I'm terrible at updating a blog. My sincere apologies to any friends on here that I have pretty much completely lost contact with. I will be making a concerted effort to update this from now on.
5 skills that I now possess that I didn't have when I last updated.
1. Telephone manner - I used to be ok on the phone, but I would avoid talking to people whenever I could. Now I routinely hold long calls with my clients, keeping them updated on their accounts progress.
2. Public speaking - This one I worked pretty hard on in 2010 but it was only when I had to present to the board of a big company that I really found my confidence. It would be nice if I could learn stuff without being thrown in the deep end.
3. Regular working hours - I hate my job but I have grown accustomed to being awake when the fiery eye is in the sky.
4. Bullshitting - Technically this was a hobby for me before, now I can pretty much bullshit my way out of/into most situations. Fear not, I only use this power for good.
5. Finding solutions - I've learnt that sometimes it can be very easy to just sit down and work out how something can happen rather than sitting around and complaining about it.
That's it.

corporate life. embrase it or hate every day are your only options when working in an office.

Haha isn't that the truth? I had hoped to avoid that most cliched of feelings, i.e hating your job, oh well!
