tokyo

i had started to look for plane tickets to san francisco or los angeles over the last week or so, in anticipation of taking a trip when my contract finishes on april 22nd. i am gasping for a holiday and i did not go away last year so i really need to get out of london this year.

 

anyways a couple of days ago i got an email from virgin atlantic advertising a sale on fares for 4 days and it had Tokyo, Japan return flights for £599 which was about £150 less than a ticket to san fran. i looked into hotels yesterday and found it was not unreasonable so i made a plan to go Tokyo this year instead of Cali. it would actually be significantly cheaper than cali. the place looks amazing like its the set of bladerunner and i did some research and found some good shops that sell sneakers and old video game arcades. i would also have done some museums and gone to their main areas like shinjuku and shibuya and akihabara. there was only one slight doubt and that was work. my contract runs till april 22nd and so i planned to go on aril 24th. i mentioned it to my team leader and he replied that it would be a busy time to take holiday. i did say that my contract would have finished by then, but he said it was unlikely that i would not be offered a new one and that it would be particularly for the period end of april and may where they have to deliver some projects. arggghhhh!!!!!. tokyo trip cancelled postponed. :-(

its like famine and feast. no one calls me about a job for 6 months and i have lots of time on my hands but no money and then i get a contract and money and i cant take a week off in 10 months because they want me at work all the time. i am not going to forget the Tokyo idea. i am going to try and make that happen at the end of may when everything is delivered. i will be on my knees by then from not having a break. 

today i have mostly been listening to athlete - tokyo
