How has your week been? What have you been reading?

I feel like I’ve achieved a lot this weekend but I probably haven’t. At the very least, I’ve read a book that I had not expected to even have a copy of by this point and I’ve already written the review for it. You know that getting organised thing that I’ve been banging on about for years? It sort of happened this week. I say this week because it’s painfully clear that it isn’t something I can maintain. Still, if my plan goes well today, I’ll get a bit further ahead with this weeks’ posts and be able to read a bit more this week than usual. Or maybe just get to bed a bit earlier than I have been. It’s been a week of bad nights and I really need to get some hours in. I’m too pale for the bags under my eyes to get any darker than they currently are. People will start assuming I’ve just been getting into fights.

How has your week been? What have you been reading?

I’ll be honest, the last 7 days haven’t been the greatest. Work is super stressful for everyone right now but my manager seems very willing to ignore everyone’s increased workload. By the end of the week, I was physically and emotionally exhausted. I’m not even 6 months into my apprenticeship and I’m already dreaming of pastures new. Not a good thing I guess. It doesn’t help that I’m meant to be learning the business from people who don’t seem to know/care about marketing strategy. I mean, I’m the only one in our office who’d had the foresight to carry out real keyword research for our SEO strategy. Is it any wonder I’ve had my dream copywriting job saved on Indeed for ages now wondering whether to apply? I mean it’s creating pop culture content for a website. If that isn’t perfect for me then what is? Anyway, enough of the moaning. A good night’s sleep will hopefully get me ready to face the stress of next week. I could do with getting some reading done too. I’ve barely achieved anything this week. It’s been hard to concentrate.
