august starts on wednesday. that means i can start looking for new contracts, although i jumped the gun by a week or two and have been doing so already. there is something going at a german bank and something going on a hedge fund. i would prefer the hedge fund. somewhere small where you can do lots of different things. will see how it goes. 


i really should not be looking for jobs right now as i really need break. its been a long and emotionally trying last couple of months since my dad passed. my head and my soul needs a rest, but i know what happens. when i dont want a new contract i end up getting offered lots, and when i do want a contract, nothing turns up for ages, so i guess i should prepare myself for the eventuality of having to get my game face on and starting somewhere new and not going to cali. i shouldnt complain because its work and well paid, but i desperately need a break. 


have also got a suspicion that my current contract might extend me for another 3 months. i will pass on it if they do. i am not going to do their on-call. its horrific from seeing what the other guys have to put up with. 3am call outs. entire weekends at work. no thanks, i will pass. 


olympics is on tv. looks great on my new HD tv. have also started going to the gym again. i missed a whole month and since then its been sporadic, but i can feel myself getting back into it. the persistent headache i seem to have constantly tends to disappear when i train. was also on my bike on saturday in the sun, and set my 2nd fastest time ever to the gym. 15m 6s. i was inspired by the olympic road race which was taking place the same day and had to turn it up to 11 on my own bike ride. 


today i have mostly been listening to the gaslight anthem - handwritten.
