Well, I have a job. At least, I have a temporary job for about the next two months. I’m working at a bank assisting the head of “Finance & Business Services” until they hire a person fulltime. So far it seems fairly uneventful, a little slow, very banky, and the guys in the office are straight of The Office. I don’t really like temping because you’re always The Temp, which is never a fun title to have. However, it’s money in the bank, which is great now that I actually have a bank account. I’m almost a real person now. The best news, however, is that P got a job. A proper permanent job! Woot!
So, I’m like, living in Manchester. The weather here has surprisingly been a lot like Houston the last week – hot, humid, and stormy. The other night there was a thunderstorm where a bolt of lightning hit somewhere very close to where I was sitting. I think I crapped in my pants a little. But because it’s been so humid, I have to say that I really miss air-conditioning. We don’t even have a fan in our flat, and we get sun the entire day round (corner apartment) which is going to be great in winter but sucks major ass in summer. It’s great that we have a swimming pool though, and we’ve been using it almost daily. And jacuzzi. And sauna. And gym. And games room. Except I don’t use the gym. Fuck that.
Anyway, so I have to say, Manchester is actually pretty alright. I got a really good haircut from a girl called Verity from Claritys the other day, I love our flat, we have friends close by, and we’re sorting out all the bullshit crap you have to sort out when you move countries. Soon we may even have internet and a telephone! Fancy that!
Congrats on the jobs, Ani
