Let's get the boring stuff out of the way. Welcome!
I aim to make this somewhere I can describe my life, dull as it may be, and see if I can't work it up into something interesting.
I've been inspired by blogs I've been following, vaguely (over the last couple of years, such as PostSecret) and more recently and attentively (having recently got my arse into gear and downloaded FeedDemon so I can easily (easier?) keep up with sites I like). You know, what an RSS feed is for.
No way am I expecting this to be an instant hit, or even a mild success at all. I ramble far too much.
But I do have a small hope I can write interesting pieces about my life, which as the title would suggest, involves my family, socialising and work.
I'm the youngest of three offspring, and my parents are still married after over 35 years. I'm an aunt to a teenage nephew and two twin baby nieces courtesy of my brother and sister respectively. I myself am single, happy this way and I've no desire for children of my own. I'm too selfish a person and I get easily irritated if things don't go as planned, and I'd be a horrid, bossy mother.
I don't make friends easily, but I have a small circle of regular friends who I see often, and some of whom I've known since I was a child. I'm one of those sorts who, when I make a friend, it's for a long time. Low confidence means it takes a good while for me to consider someone a friend.
I didn't do well academically when I was at 6th form college but it gave me more confidence after I finished senior school. I fell into doing administration and proved adept at it. I helped run a repair workshop before moving on after five years to run a sales and marketing office for 18 months.
I've now been working in customer services for four years which I never thought I'd love as much as I do. I place orders primarily, but also deal with a wide range of customer problems and issues. Whenever I describe how I feel about work, there's one area which makes all the problematic customers (and there's not as many as you'd think): I get to talk on the telephone all day long!
