cosmic love

this week ended up going fast. was sat with the rest of the team at work because one of the guys who was in that team was away on holiday this week. next week am going to be back on my own again on the 6th floor, but its ok. its been good to just get to know some peoples names and faces that i might be working with over the next 6 months. have been impressed with the quality of knowledge the rest of the team have. they are miles cleverer than i am, but the project i am going to be working on isn't too taxing and so my shortcomings, of which there are many, should not be exposed.

weather has been quite nice all week as well, and i made sure i went to the gym last night, especially seeing as football got cancelled. also decided to give the free lunch a miss today as well. it was fish and chips or chicken curry and its all too easy getting used to big hot cooked free lunches, but before you know it, i will have put on kilos and kilos. went and had a sandwich with a guy that i worked with at my last contract at the investment bank. he has been there 4 years, but has really started to hate it recently and wants out.

he also said that the chancer had been back in last week, for what appeared to be not much more than to metaphorically suck on our ex-teamleaders cock, because you never know when you might need a contract and its always good to remind them you are still around and that you find their jokes hilarious and that you will remember them even when they have forgotten you. i also heard that the other investment bank where they had a bit of an old-boys network thing going on, might not be as good as they all thought it was going to be. heard that one of the guys who was there had said that they were being paid well, but that they were getting their pound of flesh out of them and working till 10pm some nights. not fun. today i left the office at 5pm. that'll do nicely for me thanks. looks like i will have some busy weekends and shit to do, but its not reactive support but instead a project with planned work and i am glad i left support behind. i sat with the guys who do it where i am now and i have done it myself for years, but it doesnt look like fun at all now.

tour de france starts tomorrow. hopefully andy schleck wins it although the fact that he cant time trial to save his life, might count against him at some point, and hopefully contador stays off the steroid beef this time. would be good if bradley wiggins did well as he is a very good rider and on good form. cant understand why they lord up a sour scot who happens to be shit at tennis and has no charisma (andy murray) and yet world class gold medal winners like bradley wiggins get relatively ignored.

today i have mostly been listening to florence and the machine - cosmic love. have a lovely weekend.
