The Tea Girl

So I have been here for 8 weeks and I have been asked to write a blog. Not really sure what to write so I thought I would let you know a bit more about me and what I think of Comtec so far :)

I am a 5ft.5 (yes and a half) 24 year old brunette. I love films and I like to give a hundred per cent to everything I do so unfortunately I am not great at taking criticism-but I am human so it is expected that I have faults. Another fault is my love of food-I may be fussy but the food I do love I like a lot of lol. My weakness in particular is cheese, curry and wine.

I live at home with my mum which is good as I get looked after very well but there is a lack of privacy. I am hoping to move out next September which should be a great adventure  I was going to move out this year but I thought that a new job was enough adventure for me.

In my spare time I love to go to the cinema so I tend to go at least once a week-though I won’t watch any horror-it just scares me so I spend most of my time hiding from the screen (rather pointless). Unfortunately I am a bit of a romantic so I do like a good rom com-not going to lie-I am quite girly. However I love action films especially the classics like anything with Steven Seagal, Jean Claude Van Damme or the beautiful Bruce Willis.

So eight weeks. It has gone really quick, though at the same time I feel like I have been here for quite a while. A contradiction but that’s how I feel. I think it’s because of a mix of reasons-how welcoming everyone has been and how much there has been for me to learn.

I have no complaints yet except for the lack of tea making from Sevans and George :) So far I am very happy here and look forward to writing my next blog....if I’m allowed.

What a week?!

We had more than our 15 minutes of fame on Tuesday 15th September.

If you were watching BBC news that evening you would have spotted us in reports from this year’s TUC conference as well as at GG2 Leadership & Diversity awards.

Gordon Brown addressed the TUC delegation in Liverpool’s BT Convention Centre about the state of the economy.

At the same time, we were also in London at the GG2 Leadership & Diversity Awards at which Tony Blair spoke.

The crew are all exhausted and ready for the weekend now.

Unfortunately we lose a few members of the team today – Kay is leaving to have baby number 2 and Nick and Laura are returning to university after their placement year with us.

We wish all three the best of luck and of course we will miss them!!!

Danni's Week

Since starting with Comtec I have had many random tasks thrown at me with last week being no exception to this. I’ve been getting quotes for a variety of wacky/wonderful things…porter cabins, mask artwork, trophies. I’ve also had my Bob the Builder hat on, recently discovering what a grommet and a back plug is. By now I believe I have more than earned ‘Jim’ll Fix It’ status.

In other news…I would like to make a lot of people very jealous - for the first time pretty much EVER, me and my partner Anthony have actually won something!! Well, it was more Anthony than me. And no, it’s not a free bag of crisps or £1 on the lottery!! We’ve managed to bag 2 tickets to a world cup game including flights and 3 nights in a 4* hotel!! South Africa, here we come!! I’m not really a football fan but I think I can manage pretending to be considering the circumstances!!

WOOHOO!!
