booked it

booked my ticket and i leave on sept 12 for 3 days in new york and then 10 days in california. it looks like it will be the only chance i get to have any nice warm sunny weather this year seeing as its been another shit summer in london town.

i also need to get out to refresh my brain. i have worked every day (not counting weekends, although have done a few), since sept 29th last year when i got a job at the bankafter i got back from cali last year.

anyways, in new york i can get around by subway but it looks like i might need to rent a car when i get to LA, because things are a bit more dispersed there. i might also be heading up to san francisco for a couple of days and i plan on going to san diego for a few days as well. will have to plan everything out well so i don't waste any precious time, but i think i will get to do and see everyone and everything i need to do.

i also found that i have to update one of my exams to the new version and that i have to do that before the end of the year. thats good because it gives me something to focus on when i get back and i will also see what the market is like.
was talking to one of the external consultants at work and she was saying why i was thinking of leaving a job at a nice company, in a nice building, in a nice part of town and working with friendly people. i couldn't really give a good reason apart from that i just feel like moving on and thats just how i feel.

as my bike got stolen i have to take public transport on the weekends to go to the gym...... i would take the tube, but they are doing engineering works on it and its shut every weekend...... so i decided to take the bus today.......but the bus broke down and we all had to get off. welcome to broken britain. nothing works.

today i have mostly been listening to nine inch nails - i'm afraid of americans. he did this song orginally with bavid bowie but they played it live for the first time on the tour they are doing this summer.
