I have a few things to talk about this week so I thought I'd go back and do one of my old general update style blogs, where I talk about a couple of things.
First things first, I've been talking about Christmas quite a bit over the last couple of weeks and even though I've been dismissing it quite a but so far, its about time now that I feel I should stop ignoring it and start preparing for this chaotic holiday.
Nicely segwaying from Christmas chaos :). I realised this week, after my initial early flurry of buying presents, that I have started to fall behind once again like I normally do.
I went through my list of who I've bought presents for so far and noticed that I actually had quite a few gaps and really should get back to figuring out what to get and ordering them pretty soon, otherwise I'm going to be very late and joining others in the Christmas eve shopping rush.
Next thing, I was pleasantly surprised at work this week to be getting more involved with the community management aspect of our social network accounts. I'm now taking over more with regards to Facebook as well as just twitter and I've started to create more informal content that is hopefully geared more towards getting people talking and and communicating with us.
Community manager was a job title that I applied for numerous times over the summer and is something I'd love to do as a full time job, so this new aspect of work is obvious something I've really enjoyed doing and look forward to doing more of.
Last of all, for the past few years I have created a series of favourite lists displaying things like my favourite games and songs of the year. Having created this little tradition I feel like I'd quite like to do these lists again, and so from next week will start to short list my lists and try to narrow down this years favourites.
I actually have quite a bit of fun making these, although they do often take quite a bit of time to do. Hopefully because of my previous experience of favourite list making, this year the lists won't take as long to do and I should be able to get them out before Christmas. Fingers crossed.
I strangely look forward to reading them once they're done and comparing them to previous years to see how things have changed and what's still topping the list.
