Don't Stop Me Now!

Hurrah! Today I officially pass my three month probation period in my new job. It's been three months of crazy busyness and learning, but with the bonuses of meeting some fantastic people and helping out in two great (and winning) pitches.

To add to that, last week I got the first 180 on our agency dart board...

I really like being in Manchester, I look forward to being able to live here as well. 6am alarm clock and 8pm hometime really leaves no free time! Good thing the job is worth it.

Oh and my brother David starts a week placement at another Manchester agency today, if they have any sense they will keep him there!

Darts and Other Related Things...

Contrary to what you might now believe, darts is only my lunchtime hobby here in adland. Oddly my nickname isn't Famous Rob...

Some of you (Charles) may have seen Graham Furlong on the blogosphere, he is part of our "Planning team" which will soon take over the whole creative department *cue evil laugh*.

But seriously...

Not sure how much to talk about things, so I will wait for someone else to read this and let me know.

Have been doing some interesting research, reading lots of case studies and data, and also been trying to sit in on some meetings regarding pitches and creative work to get a better feel for what goes on.

What I like most at the moment (on this floor) is the really good atmosphere, people all seem to get on and there is a real sense of everyone working together well. Not that the people on other floors are nasty! Just haven't spoken to many of them.

Anyway, I am currently 1-0 up in my opening match of the DWE Trophy of Darting Champion 1982 tournament... need to work on my doubles though.

Week Two (almost)

I am the darting king, well not really... but I am playing well this week.
Might start an office league...

Anyway, will post a big update soon. But back to work!
