Looks like my flat fell through, so back to Kingston it is.
I’m too stuck up to live in someone else’s house with people who I’m not guaranteed to like.
Back to 90 minute commutes for me. Yay.
I give up.
I have spread my wings, so to speak, and decided to call South East London my home. Priced out of leafy Kingston, I will soon be a permanent resident of Norwood.
Bouncing between here and Kingston does make me look back at that place with so much love and also so much hate for the plankton I left behind.
I am probably one of the most boring (by popular standards) people you will ever meet. I don’t think getting out and getting wasted is that great; I tried the lol lets hit on loads of girls lifestyle but decided that wasn’t for me. But looking back at all the chaos exhibited by the old groups I used to frequent makes the decisions I made look very attractive.
It is still the area I know like the back of my hand, and it is a beautiful area at that. But I have come to terms and found my acceptance mechanism to realise that it is goodbye for now. It is time to learn a new area and progress, to grow a home of my own, to help my best friend and his girlfriend with their baby where I can.
Stability at this rate cannot come too soon. The girlfriend and I are pretty much bleeding ourselves dry in this house. Half the stuff is falling apart and we need to get away for the summer before we kill each other, citing boredom as a motive.
My next goal after setting the canvas for living and life is to embolden my name in the city’s programming circles. So I’m running around attending all the conferences I can, learning and talking as much as I can. Hopefully teaching one day too.
Just got free tickets for flight, hotel and conference in Italy. I like my job a lot.
Oh happy days, credit rating 986. Now give me a fucking mortgage!
A client of mine’s legal services is actually defending the respondent in an employment tribunal claim. They work in the same office I’ve visited.
I also know how much they cost, and they’re really not cheap!
Hopefully tomorrow will be a win.
Then all the problems will be solved.
Booyeah.
Fracking causes… earthquakes.
