New Shoes!!!

Well actually I didn't get new shoes, although I saw some lovely wedge-heeled boots in Dune at the weekend. They will be mine, oh yes, they will be mine :-)



No in actuality I got a new job!!! I am still with the same company, but would you believe they went and promoted me. Shock! I am a European Sales Manager for the company, and I am responsible for 14 countries. When written down it looks like alot of responsibility but I will spend most of my time sending emails and then flying to foreign parts to (get this) "see the market, get an overview". (I love sales/marketing speak - so funny).

Other cool things that come with the job are a Blackberry - which I haven't fully gotten to grips with - a laptop, a bigger desk (seriously, I kid you not) and alot of travelling to some fairly cookd destinations. Travel plan for the remainder of the year is as follows.... Denmark (1 weekend, including travel time), Greece (same again), Amsterdam (1 week, including some personal time to visit Ciara), Oslo and Gothenburg (these are lumped together cos I'm doing them in one trip in 4 days). Oh and Dublin for a weekend, but that's to see Lil and sort out wedding related bits (hers not mine).

So far I'm in that newbie phase of the new job - reading lots, so I can learn/catch-up. I find it really frustrating becuase my previous role was so busy and it literally stopped dead at the end of last week. And now I'm reading emails/sales reports/etc and booking flights. I am fairly positive it will pick-up and I look forward to when it will. IN the meantime I;m getting back to shopping on the internet (list now includes shows, coat (as seen in TopShop at the weekend), mobile phone and jewellery).



P.S. I don't normally blog about work and I'm not gloating. Please note this was only written because Mike nagged me into it. He said you would all leave "Hilary Rocks" comments. So get with the commenting!!! We'd hate to see Mike be so wrong?
