London Week 4 - The adventure continues...

Yes, it seems I've now been in London for three whole weeks now. Not that it seems like that long at all - it's amazing how fast the week seems to go by now I'm actually doing some work, and the weekends seem go by even faster, natch. But it's going okay, anyway. I'm getting more things to do at work, slowly, and I'm learning lots about Scripting and Windows 2000. Sounds exciting, eh? :) And I'm meeting lots of exciting people as well, including Katherine (if you can't think who she is then think Tony in The Cage ;) ), who it appears is both working and living in the same place as me. Small world!

Today I've been shopping round Oxford Street. Again. Not a great day of shopping unfortunately, but I guess that's what happens when you don't leave the flat till half past three. Oh well, I did manage to buy a few more CDs to add to my rapidly expanding collection, these being 'Spin' by Darren Hayes (yes, I've worked out who he is now!), 'A Funk Odyssey' by Jamiroquai, BeautifulGarbage, and the Bridget Jones Soundtrack (eventually). I'm probably just going to stop in and listen to those tonight and potter around the flat by myself, seeing as everyone else is off either working or doing other stuff.

I'm sure I deserve a quiet night in anyway after last night, anyway. Despite my best intentions of going home after a 'couple' of post-work drinks we somehow ended up in a bar/club place in Covent Garden until pretty late. I did have sooo much fun though - having not really been out like that since the last week of Uni - even if I did get a bit carried away dancing to 'It's Raining Men'. Still.

Other things that have been good this week:

- Getting my laptop! Yay! Now I have Internet access again! Even if it is ludicrously expensive. Hmm.

- The lurvely weather we've been having lately! It's soooooooo sunny!

And things that have been bad:

- Not being able to think of more that two 'Things that have been good this week'. Obv I'd say the Big Brother final last night, which sounded really good, but I missed it. Curses.

- The stupid salesman in PC World today, who when asked what the difference between these two mice was, replied: "I don't know, really. A mouse is a mouse to me". Yeah, thanks.

- That stupid little pixel a third of the way across and halfway up the screen on my laptop that isn't working properly. Grrr.

- Being stuck in the office nearly all day from Monday to Friday when the weather outside just looks soooo nice :(

- The Tube. It's dirty, it smelly, it's overcrowded, it keeps making me late for work, and it made me ill last week, I'm sure! If only I could get up early enough to get the bus...

Anyway, it's not all that bad! London is a good place to be, although I am missing the whole Uni thing a bit, I must admit. So do keep in touch, won't you all? I'm now receiving e-mail again (for now) so do feel free to drop me a line on that. And remember anyone with a username for this lovely website can post nice weblog entries too (mail me if you want one and don't have one).

And now, I'm going to cook some food and listen to CDs. Expect more updates soon. Possibly. Until then, have fun, and take care!
