Blogging for the company

I’ve mentioned this already but as well as this blog (and my other one), I’ve also been writing some posts for my company blog.

It’s proven to be a bit of a challenge, although part of that is down to personal circumstance and a decided ‘end of summer’ malaise which I frequently fall prey (as long-term readers of my other blog will testify). I’m enjoying it though, and realising more and more that the crossover between the technical communications profession and the customer relationship management industry in which my current company operates.

I’m not intending on duplicating the posts here but if you are interested you can see the posts I’ve written so far on our company blog, Under the C.

Weekender

Finding it really hard to write these days. My other blog languishes from week to week, and I won’t even mention the other place as it’s bereft of passion, ideas and any form of desire to be creative.

I’m blaming that entirely on the fact that I’m pretty damn busy these days, but in a very good way.

For example, Saturday was spent wandering shops after appealing for ideas of what to get my Mum for her birthday (thanks to those on Twitter and Facebook who made suggestions, they are all duly noted for future reference as well).

Sunday was spent with said Mother, lunch with the family at Inverbeg, and then in the evening after some Tapas it was off to the Glasgow Film Theatre to watch Some Like It Hot. Brilliant!

Was a great experience, being in an old cinema with other movie fans who were there to WATCH and ENJOY the movie, who laughed along and applauded with genuine warmth at the end. A far remove from the multiplex cacklers, munchers and yakkers I’m used to.

I will be back at the Glasgow Film Theatre for sure (Stephen Fry is ‘live broadcast’ there soon, and I spotted Metropolis on the bill as well!).

Still no movement on the house sale, still stalled. But, aside from that, life is good and I’m just embracing all the fun and happiness I can. It’s a nice way to be.
