The end of week 2, and what a week it has been....
Think the honeymoon period is over, it's time to talk about responsibilities and commitment.
So work is going ok, I could be more proactive, but it's still really early days, we haven't actually sat down and discussed structure of our approach on the crude team and to be honest most of my day is spent trying to find a flat to rent, which is literally a lottery...
It's not a matter of finding them, it's not a matter of the price, although they are ridiculously expensive, it's purely a matter of getting one.
Let's put this into perspective how tight the market actually is, a flat i offered on this week, i came home and my flatmate has also offered on the same place... so you can imagine how many other offers i am competing with on all of these apartments...
I'm struggling today to be positive about it, but i am somehow keeping it together, just keep telling myself that it's early days, and i have managed to open a bank account this week, also get a travel pass, also get a demi fare train ticket. So i am making progress... Also i have learnt alot about the situation when it comes to property here, so in time surely i will find the solution..
I do have a prospect of a 1 bedroom studio, coming in at 300 pounds a week, it's not as close to my office as i would like, and the bedroom is not seperate from the living room, but on the plus side it is fully furnished, brand new, comes with a cleaner, and also has a Jacuzzi and Swimming pool... hmmmm maybe this is the one to go for, at least for a few months so i can settle.
Other then that all is cool, it's Friday night and i've decided i won't be tasting the local bars tonight, i'm gonna chill out and read a book, i should probably be out socialising but i'm simply not in the mood tonight.
Reckon i'll try get my head around that eve game my brother keeps telling me about... i hope he's alright as he recently broke his shoulder or something and apparently has to go for an operation. I'll try call him over the weekend and check, worrying to think such a big guy had broke his shoulder! must be agonising....
In other news Diego (dog) came home for Julia and her daughter which is great news as he had been missing for 5 weeks! And to be honest i thought it was seeming very unlikely he would be seen again, not that i told her that, was scared to even mention him for cause of upset!
Anyhow, not particularly conversational tonight, feeling a little down, hence the title of this post, think it's just a matter of not getting my own way and exhaustion from the constant rejection on the property front, tried to call a few mates for a chat to get it off my chest and hopefully pickup a cheery story from home, but probably already rocking the big smoke!
Anyhow, i'll go have a smoke and cook some pasta, then immerse myself in a book about something distant
Y'all take care now.
