this is the beginning of the 5th week of my 3 month contract at a large investment bank and i still don't have a pc. they also screwed up my wages so it means i haven't been paid since i started working there though i have been assured it will come through next time pay roll is processed. this is all going wonderfully well and initially i was really annoyed and pretty down about it but now in a strange way i actually find the whole situation quite funny now. shit!, you have to laugh about this stuff even if its happening to you.
aside from that nothing else is really going on and hence a bit quiet on the blog because life has been very quiet recently. job applications and gym and sitting at work studying. that is my life these days. nothing else.
still haven't spoken to my friend i went to the states with, and its been almost exactly 2 months since i got back. just can't be bothered to get in contact and i really don't want to if i am honest. he really did do a few things that were out of order and that doesn't include changing the route on day 2 of the trip and taking the car and wasting a nine inch nails ticket i paid for, and then me having to take an 8 hour bus trip from knoxville to memphis.
another example of something he did on a few occasions was when we went to get something to eat. there were a few occasions like the time we went to new york hotel and casino in las vegas. we went to the restaurant and ordered some food. i ordered fish and chips which was $15 and he ordered a kobe beef steak which was $30. the bill came to around $50 and he put a $20 note down and then said he didn't have any change and then looked at me. i put down the other $30.
i am not one of those assholes who calculates the bill to the last cent but i also don't like it when people take the piss and i end up paying for his $30 japenese beef steak. he did this on quite a few occasions over the course of the trip and i just thought it was a little bit of a shitty thing to do. you don't go out to eat and then order the most expensive thing on the menu and then not pay your fair share.its not like he even split the bill in half. he always tried to get away with paying less than that.
friends like that we don't need.
anyways, if i can't think of anything else to write about i will write about more random and trivial incidents on my trip across america in my forthcoming posts.
today i have mostly been listening to the smiths - how soon is now.
there was a survey recently to find the best song lyrics ever and a few lines from this song was voted as the best ever.
theres a club that you'd like to go...you could meet somebody who really loves you...
so you go and you stand on your own....and you leave on your own...
...and you go home...and you cry and you want to die...
jesus, what does that say about england and the people here if that is the best lyric ever. cheer up everyone. :-)
take care V
