Evening all. Just come back home from a recruitment event at the University of Edinburgh, which was lots of fun but completely exhausting! Started the day with a drop-in session which had few attendees (though those who came along were great!), only to finish off the day with a workshop where 43 people came and we were only expecting 20! The people who came to the workshop were brilliant as well, as they really got into it, which made me so happy (given that I had a hand in writing it). Hopefully it gave an insight into what we do in Sales and Marketing, and good luck to anyone I met who decides to go forward and apply!
Back in the land of my real job, though, I'm just back from holiday in Canada today and I can already feel the weight of a thousand emails crushing me from above. It's great when you're feeling the adrenaline buzz and you are getting through three emails a minute, but right now I'm not feeling that kind of motivation! I'm trying to piece together everything that's happened in the two weeks I've been away, as inevitably a few people forget to copy you in on emails and you Miss a vital piece of the story. Now that I'm caught up I actually have to start moving forward with my projects, and this is officially it for holidays until Christmas.
On a slightly more cheery note, all the new grads are on board now (I think) and we (my year) had a great time showing them the evening sights and sounds of Birmingham the other week. Highlights included an impromptu visit to a classy 70s themed establishment, me going over on my ankle due to some extravagant dancing, and forgetting my coat (with my car keys in it) in the cloakroom. Good times.
