last week

sweet jesus of nazareth, it was a hot one this weekend. hotter than spanish resorts and hotter than southern california. it was steaming hot. also a little dangerous for those cycling or those piloting a motorised vehicle because there were lots of nice looking women in short skirts and summer dresses walking around and you end up watching them instead of the road and where you are going. a couple of close calls but we are fine and so were they.

i still haven't completely shaken off the cold i have had for a week. its mostly gone but its still there a little bit. i could feel i wasn't quite a 100% when i was pushing at the gym over the weekend.

i also lost my san diego padres baseball cap this weekend. i forgot and left it hanging on my bike as i locked it up outside the gym and when i got back it had gone. no suprise that it had gone, but you do think who would want to take it, seeing as its got a years worth of my sweat soaked into it. if i saw a hat laying around i wouldn't want it. would you were someone else's sweaty socks?.

its my last week at work, and i can't wait to leave. its not bad here, but i just want to leave and get out now. i had to see the agency that got me the job at the bank on friday, to go through some security checks that you need to get done. they asked if i could start next week. i told them i wanted a week off and wanted to start on the 7th of june at the earliest. they didn't look too happy. they will soon realise that i am not like all their other contractors in that i won't kill myself or sell a kidney just for a few grubby notes.

am still a little apprehensive about what this new role entails as i turned down the job originally and i have been told that this role will be different and not what i did not want to do originally. if it turns out to be good, then that all and well, but if it turns out they are lying then i will just look around for something else immediately. i saw today that they are advertising for the role i turned down even though i was told that they had hired the 3 people they had been looking for to fill the 3 positions in that team. if they get me in and ask me to work in that team, i will leave.

was checking for car hire in LA this morning and i found a place that does camarro's. will keep it in mind for when/if i go out there later in the year. i don't own a car in london but i will make up for it by getting something nice in cali for a week.

today i have mostly been listening to beth orton - stolen car. no video because it has embedding disabled on it, which is not a bad thing because i thought it was a lame video and anyway, it doesn't need it. this song is fabulous so any visuals would not be able to do it justice anyway. enjoy.
