Personal

I was at a networking event earlier this week and was told by (a really drunk) someone that I expressed my personal ideas and opinions a bit too much in my blog. Which was interesting, because I generally consider I’m not doing enough of that – actually not doing enough writing altogether, really. And ultimately, it’s my personal blog… So sure, it’s personal thoughts, etc. Check out George’s AdScam (Which I love by the way) if you need contrast…

That same person also explained how and why I was really arrogant – but that’s not really my fault, I’m French and moreover was raised in Paris, so I can’t help it… (But apparently they’re trying to make some efforts about it) ;o)

Anyways let’s update on other news: I decided to go ahead and get myself a professional Flickr account! If I upload pics at the same rhythm I write here, maybe you’ll see pics from my holidays two years ago in about two years time! Lucky for you, patience is virtue…

Let’s finish with the best news, I’m finally changing my role next week and starting to work full time on digital strategy!! Woohoo! Jen’s replacing me on the recruitment front at iris and is already doing great. It’s weird to be letting go of all your work, but I’m really looking forward to the change!
