Coasting For A Roasting...

Hot weather today here in London. The summer still clings for dear life.

I am looking dapper, wearing my traditional pin-stripe suit, I had an interview this morning and it went well (especially as I was 30 minutes late, bloody hard to find places here!)

I am beginning to find my feet here. One of the strangest things for me originally is total anonymity of people. You walk along, see a good looking lady, and hope that there is some eye recognition. This wasn't happening, it was like: NOTHING. Now, though I occasionally crack a smile and it usually earns me somekind of positive response. This is good. It reminds me that these people are in fact human.

So, I've been lost in London most of today. I'm trying to avoid paying for travel, so have been walking a lot but when you do this in London its very hard to stop and look around you. There is always an all consuming wave of faces attempting to drop, push and crush you into the pavement.

My psyche paid me a nasty trick in the kitchen earlier today. I thought about something negative for a moment and it brought me down. Broke the back of my confidence. Its a real roller coaster ride at the moment. A very fragile ego in very extreme circumstances.

Still though, maybe the job side of things is coming together. I hope so.

I need it to so badly at the moment. I have the whole game riding on it!

Fear not. I am good form today, hoping for better news soon, enjoying the sun.

Had an email from Harvey Goldsmith today...somehow I managed to get my hands on his direct contact...I won't reveal how...and asked him for a job as a runner/anything but unfortunately he's on the road at the moment and has someone on work experience. It was good of him to reply though...90% of H/R Officers don't! And he's the king pin.

If anyone out there needs someone to come and work for them in London, then I'm your man!!!! Just send me an email!

Peace. Out.

Tom.
