it's a blog from the secret corner of my desk...

killing time here, it's 16h30 and I have one hour until I am free. I was out last night with Jo and her friend Dan... It's kind of funny Jo's ex's name is Sarah and her best friend is named Danielle like my ex. Life is strange sometimes... speaking of strange coincidences... There is this huge billboard outside my flat for Air Canada. I guess fate had it destined for me to be living there.

Oh yes, Pearl, I must pay her homage, she is our bloated goldfish... I mentioned her in my last blog, but sadly didn't know her name. So now I've set the record straight, she'll stop nagging me.

Went to the girl bars in town last night, There are so many, it's quite an adjustment from the Lookout in Ottawa... It was only Wednesday night and there were loads of people! I don't know if I'll ever be able to live in a small city after this... there is just so much going on I can't keep up!

Trying to plan things out for this weekend. I am due to make another trip with my things from Richmond. I'm thinking I'll have the most luck if I just do it all on Saturday. It's a pain in the ass to drag it across town on the tube, but at least if I do it on the weekend, there will be less people to weave through.

I have to get my ass in gear and find a gym... I feel so soft and mushy, walking to work and back doesn't give me much exercise...

Spoke with Denise today who is off on her Asian adventure tomorrow. She sounded so excited. She may be in London on business the day she gets back from her holidays... she'll be wrecked but it would be so great to see her...

Note to self- Avoid the egg salad sandwich from the sandwich shop down the street.

Note to self- Get hair cut...

Note to self- stop making notes to self.

Work!!!!!!!!!

So I'm at work right now... this will be brief... seems to be a trend immerging here, by blogging is becomming less and less fequent. I guess it's just the adjustment into a new schedule.

Work has been extremely busy, far more busy than one would imagine considering it's only been 3 days that I've been here. It's a nice place, and it's nice to use my brain once again!

Stayed at my new flat last night. Crashed on one of the futons in the sitting room... not the most comfortable places but, still, it was nice to just walk to work this morning! I don't know if I mentioned it or not but we have a pet. It's this mamoth goldfish that lives in a bowl in the sitting room. He's too cute. Don't know his name, mind you... lol

Heading to check out the local gym on my way home today... I'm a little apprehensive as to the exactly what sort of archaeic machines I might find there. Going out tonight with Jo and her best friend. I'm so happy to be back in the land of those who socialize. One more night of sitting in, and I would go mad!

Johnnie has been requesting Sarah U.K pics for the blog. I'm making it my mission this weekend to take some pics and then downloadthem to my laptop and then upload them here.

I have this guy hounding me... he's called me here at the office, twice... wants to talk to me about a job that I applied for a week or so ago... I'm not sure but I'm think he's not quite getting that I already have one! LOL

Heading out now... the rain is comming...

Eureka!

So the gods were smiling on me today. After seeing a few nightmareish places I've found a flat!

It's a 15-20 walk to work! it's with two girls Hannah and Jo. They're really sweet girls and the flat is really nice! It's all re-furbished. From the outside it leaves a lot to be desired but the location and the roomies are briliant!

I start work tomorrow so I've got to get home and rest. I've been flat hunting since 11h this morning and it's now almost 7pm! I did my travel card good use.

The small downfall is that the room isn't furnished but I should be able to find a bed a lot easier than it would be to find a better place!

It's a 3 storey place with the kitchen on the main floor and my room and the sitting room and the WC on the second and Jo and Hannah's rooms upstairs. it reminds me a lot of the british version of my old place in Ottawa.

I'm so releived! I can't wait to move in!
