Restricted blogging

Not been much going on at EC1 Cruise Control lately, for the simple reason that my "real" workload has increased about tenfold over the past couple of weeks. Combine that with entertaining people from out of town, preparing for interviews, packing for a two-week trip and suffering through writing tests done entirely in German, and you get some idea of what I'm going through.

Anyway, the good news is that I got the job! Hurrah! As of 28 July I will officially be back in the realm of published journalism, only this time I'll be getting paid for it and I'll be specialising in something a bit more demanding than pub reviews. Pharmaceutical markets of northern Europe, anyone? Hey, you never know.

My blog will go on, however. You'll just have to forgive the occasional break now and then, when things get too hectic. Still, I'm a firm believer that having a busy job and an interesting blog aren't mutually exclusive. It's just that laziness and general apathy sometimes get in the way.
