Six weeks in a leaky city

Friday, 26th May 2006 by Jay

Yikes!

I just looked at my calendar and realised that I have been here in London for 5, going on 6 weeks!!!!! And I haven’t been working since.. March 8… so something like 2.5 months!!! Worse, I actually don’t want to start working.. :)

But I have been interviewing… I call it interviewing at leisure.

Though some interviews are more leisurely than others. In fact, I was massacred by a written technical test at RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland) yesterday. That interview was over 2 hours. Maybe my charm will get me through?

In other news, I have taken residence on New Oxford St (near the British Museum) for the next two months. This place is tiny!!! But it is brand spanking new.. with all the mod cons included - like broadband and digital TV :) Pretty groovey really. Fay will be arriving tomorrow (Saturday morning) and we’ll probably look for a new, bigger place in a while.

As for London itself, the weather is shit. As I look at the window onto the roof of the italian restaurant next door, it is grey, wet and ugly. Though I must say that when the sun is out, it does look/seem/feel glorious! Maybe it’s the bad which makes you appreciate the good? I think I am slowly beginning to appreciate (or get used to) the sites and sounds of London.
