So I thought I should introduce myself as a not so new team member of George Waugh Engineering.
Normally I’m in the background doing George’s bookkeeping, but my role seems to have grown arms and legs as they say and I seem to have new responsibilties designing everything under the sun on his CNC plasma and trying to navigate our social media shop window.
Many moons ago I did graphic design at the Tech. In fact, it was so long ago the Tech has been bulldozed and replaced by houses. We didn’t use computers back then — our department wasn’t very big and resources were short, so everything was done manually.
So here I am now, in my middle-age era, starting afresh and designing stuff again! I’m still learning, I’ve got a wee pink ruler, and I’m trying no to get too confused between centimetres and inches while my menopausal brain fights against change.
I’m also working alongside George, who is my long-suffering partner. I’m no sure which one of us is the brains and which is the beauty — neither, I think — but we seem to be muddling along and having a few laughs along the way.
So if you’d like to see what I’ve been up to, please have a wee look and give our Instagram or page a like and also please share with your friends.
Thank you
Julie
