It's been two weeks today since I first set foot in the office and it's going well. It's all hapening over my head at the moment because the February issue's going to print any day now, but I'm pleased to say I'll have some bits in it! It's not much to write home about... In fact, it's quite hard to muster my own enthusiasm, but I have written a few 'market profiles', describing trends and what to sell when it comes to Italian food, frozen food and oral hygiene. Yeah, thrilling! But what I am more pleased about, is I helped Orla (one of the staff writers) transcribe interviews, and they will be in there. I've got my first interview with Checkout tomorrow morning because I suggested a feature to John and he said it was a good idea, and gave me a contact. I don't want to tell you any more: suffice to say, it will be a feature with quotes about the Irish fast-moving-consumer-goods retail industry. Hold onto your hats.

I've got the green light from the reviews company I freelance for too. So the bars of Dublin are about to come under my judging right hand. I'm not getting the same moneys... But times is hard... and I want to keep in with the company and I like the work.

Other than that, I'm looking forward to the Jameson Irish Film Festival, and visiting the Jewish Museum on Sunday. I'm also please with free flights from Ryanair!!!

What's everybody else up to? And what up with Twitter, are we fans or not?
