London

First off...Jackie is getting married and as she indicated in a comment to the prior blog it will be November 14th. So gonna try to get my ass home for that. :)

In regard to me...I am here. I am alive. My life has been basically a tornado. Here are the highlights...

Moved to London on Sunday February 8th in the PM to start Monday February 9th. There was a teary good bye in Scotland. G and Catherine-Rose came out to see me off. And after I departed comforted each other (haha).

I arrived in London to be greeted by 4 gay men. Holy shit it was a dream come true! Luckily they were stronger than I am and helped me carry my big ass bags.

I'm sleeping on G's friends' sofa. It sucks. Enough sad.

Because of the above, I'm really hardcore looking for a flat. Unfortunately they are expensive and I don't really want to live with 35 other people. So I'm looking at bedsits. Basically studios where you share the bathroom....but really how much time do you spend in the bathroom? And we all know I clean everything too much anyway, so it should be fine. I'm going to see one tonight that looks really nice and is close to G's friends.

Work is good. Very interesting. Some of the health economics stuff is really complicated and one girl had me analysing some data tables....um do what? I feel bad because I returned what I did to her and she had to adjust alot of it. BUT let's be real, she has 2 MSc's in economics/statistics. I do not. End of that.

Other than that I like coming to work. I'm starting to leave 'home' at 7:45 so I can be at work early (8:30). I was leaving at 8 which put me to work at 9. Amazing how leaving 15 minutes earlier shaves off 15 minutes from travel time. And it means I get to sit on the tube instead of standing like a cow going to slaughter jammed into my neighbours' armpit. Gross!

In response to Alison...haven't had time to even consider touring the city. Last weekend the tube line was down near where I'm staying so everything required a bus ride around the world to catch a different line. boo. So I stayed in and did venture out for Valentines night.

Oh because G's flight got cancelled due to an 'incident' at London City Airport, I spent Valentines with 3 singles. :( We won't go into this story because he was kind of a jerk about it...supposedly he decided not to rebook on the Saturday afternoon flight because it wasn't worth the money. Hello! It was f-ing Valentines and I just moved to a new city. But whatever. He's coming tomorrow afternoon (boss is now giving him Friday afternoons and Monday mornings to travel since they won't let him move for at least 2 months...douche bags) to visit for the weekend. ha. Lucky him we're going flat viewing bright and early Saturday morning...that is if I don't like the one I see tonight or tomorrow night. :)

Ok, that's enough. I'm at work and should be 'billing' a project right now instead of doing 'admin'. My head hurts and I'm sleepy. Bad combo.

Peace out and more to come!!!
