Little Yap Yap gives an update on Southern living

So it’s been ages since I last wrote on my blog. Not sure what I’ve done since I last wrote. Hmmm, let me think. Well I worked for the police for 4 months. That was, um, interesting. The people were really nice, but my job was dull, dull, dull. So I decided to get another job. I now work for Avaya, a telecommunications company based here in Guildford. I’m a Business Analyst. What does one of those do? I’m not entirely sure to be honest. I must admit I do very little. I tend to surf the net and take long tea breaks a lot. Maybe I put together one or two reports. I also take extremely long lunch breaks. I work with a strange mix of people too. Some people I really dislike, which for me to say is quite harsh. I spend a lot of my time trying to avoid my work colleagues. I honestly can’t be arsed with them.

It’s been over a year since I moved to Guildford. It’s been a very interesting few months. Definitely lots of ups and downs. I’ve met all kinds of people. Not all good, but not all bad. I’m slowly adjusting to the Southern lifestyle. I find myself saying some words in a ‘posh’ accent. I hate when others pick up on it. I get all embarrassed.

The future : I’m going home for Christmas in a few weeks time. I can’t wait! I really need some good home cooking. It just dawned on me that I frequent my local Chinese take away way too much. I went last night and they all knew me by name, “hi Jenny”! I mean it’s not all bad - I’m always guaranteed free prawn crackers with my meal!!!

The beginning of February will see me off to Dubai and South Korea with my mate Rayhan. I have a mate who teaches in SK so we’re going to hang around with him for a week. I’m real looking forward to that.
