Post Praha

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!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. [...]

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 [...]
