Good news, everyone! The lap top has returned; shiny, re-cased and cranky as always. Sometimes when a partnership is this good, there’s no reason to change.
It’s been an interesting few weeks here at Reilly Towers:
Wordwise I’ve brushed up on my academic editing skills, revisiting proofing for fun and profit (profit being jelly doughnuts and all the tea I can drink) on a group thesis that’s due…*ulp* tomorrow. As nerdy as it sounds, just being in the same apartment as a group of students slaving away on a final year project makes me miss my last semester at Dear Old State.
IRL, work at the gallery has geared up and the team has begun promoting the venue in earnest. There’s a proof of our fund-raising brochure on my (invisible) desk at the moment which, along with my other tasks to complete before 5pm, I’ll be proofing for a review on Monday. Once we’ve gotten this first step completed, I’ll be working on next steps to develop their Twitter and blogging regimen (read: create one).
In Client News I’ll meet face to face with the lovely new client at their offices in far away Wicklow tomorrow. As the meeting is at 9am and I don’t own a car, getting there will be an adventure in itself. We’ll be reviewing the press release / site updating / web review work done in recent days, then schedule next steps for updating their online profile, SEO and possible social media routes. Should only take an hour.
Speaking of books, I’ve just about gotten through Shadow Prowler… just about. With a few new titles coming in, and with book club moving on to next month’s title, it’s time I put this beast to bed. Review coming to the blog next week: be ready.
Writerly Socialising will kick off on Friday afternoon with a meetup sponsored by Creative Dublin at the Smock Alley Theatre; looking forward to saying hello and having a good natter about creative work in Ireland. Tomorrow evening I’ll be joining the Yelp.ie brood to celebrate the début of the site’s new community manager with a few bevvies at Le Cirq.
Oh dear, that doesn’t leave much room for Friday First Loves, does it?
Not to worry, duckies. I’ll think of something. And in the case I do not, or am in no state to do so, I leave you with this:
