So, I have been away for 4 weeks. I mean, My flight was this time 4 weeks ago.
I think it is going well. Some things have been hard, but overall things are good.
Things with Dan are going well, mostly. As to be expected we have had a few disagreements, and since our flat is so tiny they become a lot bigger deals than they would otherwise. On the whole its good though, I have really enjoyed having someone to cook for and I think my omelets are getting better.
I’ve got a job too, I started last Monday. Its a fairly crap job, it really is highlighting for me how much of a snob I really am. I get paid crap too, but for work that is sooo easy its not at unreasonable wage really. England is still in the midst of a recession so I have been told that I am fairly fortunate to have gotten a job at all. Being more arrogant than that, I am also looking for a better job. I have learned to do three things in my current position.
1. Take staples out of paper, sort them into the right order and put them in a neat bundle.
2. Look up someone’s address based on account number & hand write that address onto an envelope
3. Go through a list of recently opened accounts on the computer and check that there is ID in the scanned pages.
BORING!!! Still, it is money so I can stop living off my savings soon.
I also joined the gym here. I havent been going as much as I want to, but I am going a bit. I wanted to do a 10km race in July, but I haven’t been putting in the hours for training so I think I’ll just do the 5km.
Umm, what else…. Oh, how could I forget. It’s COLD here! I am getting used to it and there have been some warm days – which lull me into a false sense of security. Most of the time I am cold, even my flat is cold.
I know this all sounds really negative, but I am enjoying it. There are some things I need to work on, clearly, but I’m still glad that I am here.
