Post Praha

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I flew back from Praha (as it’s known locally) yesterday evening. Easyjet was surprisingly reliable. I got home about 12.30am this morning and we even managed to make the last train from central London.
I had an enjoyable 4 days. It’s a lovely city. Really pictureseque and beautiful without being massively over the top (like say [...]

Post interview

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

I had the job interview this afternoon. It went fine. Considering the firm (quite high profile), the location (premium location in the City) and the sector (commercial law) I was expecting to be quite nervy about the whole thing; but I wasn’t. I think the main reason for this is that I don’t know for [...]

Don’t mind me…

Friday, April 25th, 2008

I’m just being a good neighbour, taking in the post and watering the plants while Bunny is away.
Shall I drink all the booze in his drinks cabinet while I’m here?

Job interview on Tuesday

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

I have a pretty big job interview on Tuesday with a major City law firm. I’m expected to do quite a bit of prep. Not easy when I only found out I was being invited to interview yesterday - I’m now about to head to Prague and am not back until very late Monday!
I’ve printed [...]

Post birthday

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

I had an enjoyable day. Sharing one’s birthday with a saint is never easy. OK, that’s an exaggeration. Anyway, the office laid on a saint’s day party in the office - not for my birthday, I should add, but because they’re trying to raise morale, etc. Anyway, we had big old pork pies, chunky sandwiches, [...]

The insomniac diaries

Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008

About 2 months ago I started getting insomnia.
I’ve not really had it my whole life (other than university when I did have it and it was quite common among students back then).
Anyway, I tend to fall asleep fine but recently I wake up in the early hours and often don’t get back to sleep, or [...]

Wheels in motion

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I had a very good meeting with the agency this morning. Agencies are not all the same. Some are crap, some are decent. I genuinely felt this one was decent.
I was there a full hour and had a really good in-depth discussion. I really liked the lady I was dealing with. They have an extremely [...]

Having one’s cake & eating it

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

This blog is an example of attempting to have one’s cake and eat it.
I know. I could use the standard Wordpress site and have my blog on there. But. Though that’s very good and it’s a great service, there are too many things you can’t do. I’ve always wanted a library and it’s painful and [...]

The morning after

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

I feel fine in fact. 6 of us went out for drinks to my new favourite wine bar. We also ate, which helped. I had a burger. Mmmmmmmm, was delish, real ‘gastro pub’ type burger, very nice. That and a lot of red wine.
I don’t smoke these days so never feel quite so bad the [...]
