SITC...


not - but i have been doing plenty of other stuff in the city.

I have been working in the city since Wednesday and what an adventure it has been. Some highlights
* catching public transport. I had to get a go card - how grown up.
* catching the train at an ungodly hour - see the watch. Already I had been to the gym - I have been getting ready at the gym which does take some organisation I must say. I was literally sitting in the train waiting for it to moooooooooooooooove. Also can I say here that I love the concept of an express train however I don't think just missing 3 stations out of 20 is enough. I think it should be more.
* On the first day when I was being all city girl - I was getting off the train - gocard at the ready to swipe- and guess what happened. Can you even guess? My shoe - the black ones picture got caught in the little tiny space that exists for the door to slide open on. Completely stuck. I kept moving my shoe did not!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course this is rush hour and there are literally a bazillion people. I don't want to put my foot down because lord knows where that platform has been - and so I am hopping around - people are getting cranky - and my shoe is still stuck. A kind young fellow finally got it our for me - and off I hobbled. I also totally got caught up in the wave of people and ended up in a part of central station I have never ever been before - quite literally. It was weird!
* Wednesday night I had to wait around and then catch a bus to meet up with the family for dinner. I am not a bus person but managed this ok.
*You can see my desk - I have a nice view - and at times there are men working literally right outside my window - for some reason. I am on the 8th floor.
*have managed to have a starbucks every day - nice
* Oh and the work - is good - but at the end of three days I am totally and utterly shagged - and not in the good way. Can you say that?????

I am typing this and still laughing about your shoe...at least you didn't fall over.

Another reason why the city-types change into joggers?


All that early gyming and commuting and then a longgg day of concentration MUST be exhausting!

Now that's funny - I do apologise sincerely for laughing at your expense.

Looks like you've settled in nicely and made the new job yours - might it become a regular end of year experience ?
