I sit here in my new flat listening to Christian and a few thoughts spring to mind. Will I ever sell my house? Are my shoes clean enough to meet new people in my new job? And does Brian ever sound happy?
It’s my first official day at Absolute Radio and if I’m honest I feel a bit sick – with excitement, not a dodgy curry. It’s like I’ve been in a bit of a daze since I got the job but now I actually have to do something about it and prove myself to you lovelies that I’ve not been fluking it all these years! I’ve spent the morning catching up on emails from Absolute Radio and have noticed the most common words used are “cookies”, “drinks” and “bacon butties”. Or maybe as a serial dieter I’m obsessing!
So I’m a new girl in a new city and it’s pleasing that not only have Absolute Radio been Absolutely (see what I did there?) lovely, but my family have been encouraging in ways I never thought possible.
Quote from my niece Natalie (8): “does that mean we can get tickets to London musicals”
Quote from my brother Andy (25): “I got bored today and googled your name. Found your factually inaccurate Absolute Radio Biog which seems to include the lie – a completely sleep-deprived Joanna was hailed as ‘the hardest worker alive”.
Quote from Mum (oap): ”I hope you’ve bought some Hob Brite”.
All the above family members quotes and stories will appear without their prior knowledge or consent on Absolute Radio very soon!

P.S. As the new girl is it OK to still find it funny to say “see what I did there?” when I use absolute-ly in a sentence?
P.P.S. You’ll know I’m settled in nicely when you hear me recounting a story which will CHANGE THE WAY YOU VIEW YOUR CHILDHOOD – FOREVER… x
