FARRAGO

I bet you're probably sick of the changes of 'theme' through this blog? Well I was going to write an apology post as I sat at my desk today thinking about what to write for an almighty comeback. But then I thought..........Nah I can't apologise for the mangled themes, the all-over-the-shop nature of this ongoing piece of word-vomit I heave up onto the internet. I can't apologise because it's me.
Flaky, lackadaisical, jumbled and inconsistent, but only in the sense you can't catch me every week. My friends will tell you I'm a terror to catch-up with. Only the things which I consider daily or weekly necessities become as such, and everything else....well you're lucky if you catch me. But it doesn't mean I don't care. It doesn't mean I'm not thinking about the other things/people/tasks I should be thinking about/seeing/doing. I can't apologise for the way I am because the things that are important come back around to me and the people who are important stick by me. The preamble is now finished and with that I welcome you to Pretty Set All Set Mach II, blog 2.0, the next phase.

In the last period of creative and productive outpourings here I was lamenting my state of affairs. Having graduated I was without gainful employment (in the field I desired at least) and I was going to use this platform to track my journey.

Well that was a giant failure because here I am four months into a cadetship at a newspaper and I haven't written one single post. Not one post telling anyone how life on the other side of uni/getting a read job is.

Excuse #1 I'm really busy: Seriously though, I am.
Excuse #2 I have a boyfriend who I give pretty much all of my spare time to.
Excuse #3 Writing all day at work makes it very difficult to come home inspired.

OK EXCUSES DONE!! Here's the plan now. I'm going to take you with me in my new life as a baby journalist.

HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
I work for a newspaper in Rockingham.
The two publications we produce cover Rockingham, Kwinana, Mandurah and the surrounding suburbs.
I have days where I love my job and I'm grateful I took that chance and swapped unis.
I also have days where I question every decision I ever made and think I should throw in the towel, to back to uni to study teaching, law, ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES THIS. But luckily those days aren't every day.
This will not just be about work and I'm sorry to never be able to pick a theme but I can't.
The theme is Sophie. Sophie and what she does. Starting today.


August 6 2012. 
Today was deadline day. It was fairly calm considering our editor is on holidays (although the news half way through the day that he'd broken his foot and might not be back for a while was more than a little concerning. It rained basically all day, but not before I got to head out to take a snap of the Mayor of Kwinana, the GM of the Global Good Foundation and The Liberal Candidate for Brand.
