Whilst not quite John Peel's Festive 50, as we progress through advent and my workload begins to festively diminish, I thought it time for a few end of 2009 top tens.
I have to admit, this year has certainly been one laden with a great deal of both personal and professional development. So kicking things off, here's my
Top Ten Most Clichéd PR Activities/Learnings of 2009
1.) Learning to fiddle my expenses like an ageing tory MP (my father was particularly helpful with this matter, though doesn't sit in the Commons)
2.) Sleeping with my intern (never a bright idea, regardless of cup size)
3.) Fiddling taxis on the company account
4.) Attending fictional press appointments with journalists/publications that don't exist (I am convinced Trophy_Wife actually does this more than me)
5.) Learning that crashing company cars really is to be avoided at all costs (the damage to one's ego is always far superior to that of the vehicle)
6.) Learning to bend your press coverage statistics - if the whole world's doing it...
7.) Learning when it is advisable to, and when it is advisable not to attend a midweek open bar party for something completely insignificant
8.) Learning that it's much better to indirectly curse all day than actually tell one's boss to 'fuck off'
9.) Learning to tactically 'work' from home (again, a leaf from Trophy_Wife's book)
10.) Learning to fiddle one's annual leave allowance and thus facilitate all of Christmas off
