Ok, so this is my 4th day now at my new job and so far so good. It was all very strange when i first started - new surroundings, new journey to work, new staff ect but i'm starting to feel more settled now. The thing i didn't realise is how small my company. Only 3 permanent members of staff and a few consultants that deliver training elsewhere. Although the office is relatively big, the premises are predominantly for Park Royal Partnership staff, which is the company that owns ours.
The role looks like it will be really good. I'm going to be in charge of updating the website with different features, writing material for the leaflets/fliers etc and there will be some financial duties as well such as dealing with invoices and monthly claim figures. The whole set up here is far more professional. JGA was a shithole in comparison, where you could happily laugh, joke and play pranks all day. I kind of miss that, but it had gone very stale there and it was definitely time to move on. I've been so tired in the evenings. Each day's been pretty taxing on the mind, learning all this new stuff so i've been falling asleep by about 9 o'clock!
On a seperate note i went to the Lowlands comedy night last saturday. It wasn't as good as the year before where i'd gone with Alex. The reason to mention this night is because one of the comedians fell completely flat. It was a young women, but she totally fucked up the first joke through nerves and stuttered over her words which affected the timing of the punchline. After that it was hell, really embarrasing with no laughter, not even a murmer. It was a shame and i felt sorry for her as she might have been better received had her start been more confident and assured. I'd have fucked her too. Should have offered a shoulder to cry on...
There's RE bent tonight, but i've no idea of what heads are going. Tomorrow is good as i'm the only one in, so they'll be plenty of time to fuck about and try and secure some oasis tickets for Wembley stadium next summer

In Limbo
I'm in a funny situation at work now. With only 7 days remaining until i leave i'm finding that not only is my mentallity and approach different but also my colleagues. People aren't giving me work because there's the danger it won't get done in time, and in general i am far less involved in things. I thought being able to doss like this would be fun, but its actually wearing a bit thin now. I'm bored of going on the same websites all the time and the days seem very long. I also feel guilty that other people are working flat out, rushing round the office, whilst i'm looking at images of famous freaks on google.
I'm back in the game now, though i don't think i ever really was properly before. I made the silly mistake of over training and not allowing muscle recovery or growth, plus i didn't eat anywhere near the required amount to visibly see results. Anyhow after research etc, i feel more prepared this time around and with J and Daz back in the game too, hopefully i'll feel compelled to keep it going.
Last saturday we went to Camden for J's birthday. I'd been to Camden once before, where i went to a place called Underground. I thought it was dog shit, but this time around it was much, much better. We started in the Lock, which was a cool bar, hidden round the back. Everyone started to get buttied, necking yaygerbombers(Sp!) and other awful drinks, peering into girls bossoms and getting snapped with celebs. Unfortunately the group got split withe J, Saaaym, Daz and D going to The Worlds end and the rest of us ending up in the Electric Ballroom. Because the place was so big, for large quantities of the night we all spent long periods of time on our own which was strange, but it was a decent night all the same.
This post is probably a real let down, following on from a post that covered Tenerife and all the funny moments from then. I feel pretty empty headed actually.
