confirmed

i have been waiting for confirmation about when my contract was going to be up at the bank and i got it today. december 28th is my last day. when i started in the summer they told me it was till the end of the year and this takes me all the way to the end. i had wanted to finish sometime in mid december but its cool and its nice knowing for sure. i am on call 24-7 on my last week, which is over christmas but i am not bothered at all about that. i will earn a few quid that week in overtime and its my last week and so its no bother at all for me.

i am off work this week just using up some holiday and i have a week off in a couple of weeks as well. i am going to go on a VMWare course that week. my company won't pay even though i asked them about a thousand times, so i decided to pay for it myself. its a couple of thousand pounds but hopefully i should get it all back in not too much time when i get something new in the new year.

as it stands 2008 is going to be a completely clean slate for me. i have no idea what will happen regarding work or anything else. have been thinking of lots of things recently and i am not sure if i want to even stay in london any longer. who knows where we will end up. as always i am filled with hope and positivity and i hope to get something good in the new year, especially now that i have investment banking experience and being certified in vmware as well as microsoft and possibly citrix as well, although citrix is soooo dull.

weather in london is just like you would imagine. grey, damp and dark. don't matter. we will get through these next few weeks and then we will go from the darkness into the light. its going to be wicked.

thats about it really. i might go to my friends birthday party at his flat this saturday. am still deciding whether i should go because a lot of my other friends can't make it and he lives all the way out in east london.
i am going to see interpol in a couple of weeks as well, at alexandra palace, which should be good. last time i went there was when i got a free ticket to see morrissey, who was not very good. he only played 3 smiths songs and the smiths are miles better than his solo stuff. i also got tickets to see editors again in march. i wonder where i will be working in march when i go see them????.

today i have mostly been listening to don henley - boys of summer. i need it when its weather like this.

take care flower.
