My first ever blog

Welcome to my first ever blog. Some say that blogging is quite theraputic and whilst I don't think I need therapy I'm quite happy to use it to vent all my frustrations about life in general. You see, I'm a complainer. I complain about EVERYTHING. Customer service, people who don't hold doors open for others, people with no manners, public transport (one of my favourites actually), technology, D List 'celebrities'. You see? Everything. And that's why this blog is called 'And another thing'. I could complain all day (much to the amusement (or is annoyance?)) to my boyfriend, family and friends. And who am I? Well, until last week I worked in Corporate Social Responsibility for an industry plagued by criticism. I was the Communications Manager and it was my job to promote the work of my organisation. Now, I live in New York City with my boyfriend who has been seconded out here. And its not all Sex and The City you know. For a start I'm not allowed to work which means I don't have an income. This is quite difficult when you are quite partial to a bit of shopping. We live about five minutes from Century 21, the best discount clothing store in the world. The UK might have TK Maxx but nothing beats Century 21. I have been here three days and have been in there twice already. Its like an addiction. I leave the apartment, walk to the end of the road and there it is, its red and white sign beaming at me like a glass of wine at the end of a hard day. Yes, I guess I am a bit of a shopaholic and I don't make any secret of it. I don't hide my purchases under the bed, I embrace them. I take them out of their bags, pull off the labels and hang them carefully in my wardrobe. There's none of that I am so ashamed that I have to hide all my purchases under the bed and try to forget about them. Oh no. Yes, I may have 20 pairs of high heels I have never worn (I can't afford cabs and high heels on the tube/subway don't really work) but at least the tags have been pulled off. But of course I won't be shopping (a lot) in New York. Instead I shall be amusing you all (well, those of you that manage to find my blog) with my moans and groans. So, there it is my first blog. Stay tuned folks.
