Another amazing day at the office

Well well,

This day came good for me. I woke up to a young baby sitting on my bed, and it was my lovely half brother. I got up and got dress, not knowing what the world was going to give and demand from me today. I slipped into a tight high waisted black skirt with a loose black singlet and a blue cardigan. I chucked on some heels and I was running out the door. I got into the car and was driven to UWA for an interview with Professor Jeoff H about the effects, risks and use of lapband, sleeve gastrectomy surgery and bypass. As I took down two pages of notes, the Professor was
a great help and really made everything clearer. On the way out, I grabbed a scone and tea then headed back
into the office with help of the Medical editor, Cathy Sunders. When I got back into the office i was chosen to
write a small review that was to be published in next weeks paper. I wrote about a book written by Heidi Murfard.
I then was taken out to the YHA in Perth City, which is a backpackers organization where i was to interview
and then get notes. I took down a million notes, as usual, and was then given a guided tour with one of the guys i
was working with named Steven S who is the Travel Editor for 'Travel' lift out of the West.

When I got back to the office, Steven asked me if I would like to write the article on the YHA. I didn't know if
It was a dream or not. As I replied "Oh! Of course!" I pinched my skin to see if it was true. Fortunately it was and
the only bad thing was I had received a pretty bad red mark on my skin. He set me up on a apple mac and I began
spewing my ideas onto the page. Within 2 hours, I finished. He read through it and I saw there waiting
for his reaction. His eyes lightened and he began to clap. I then was able to start breathing again
"This is fantastic! I'm going to get this published for Saturdays newspaper next week! I can't believe this!
At least I was able to get your to the light, unlike your father that's in that bloody advertising! HAHA!"
I think I nearly burst my brain cells in such excitement.

Stay tuned and read the West Australian 'Travel Liftout" on the 5th of December.
