It's already October? I only managed one entry in September. Time really flies and instead of trying to fill you all in on whats happened the past month I'll just choose some random things that I've noticed, I've experienced, I'd like to comment on...
It's been an eventful few weeks
Really LOTS has happened since I last wrote having just returned from Manchester. I can't believe that that's almost a month ago now. Settling in to work and it's becoming more and more routine. I've obviously still got lots to learn but that's nothing new...
London is changing... Summer to Fall....
I walk to and from work every day... it's exactly 30 minutes door to door. Fantastic to be able to get that kind of exercise and its a fantastic way to start and finish a day... on my way I have noticed the change of the seasons... When I first started walking, Kids were not going to school, people were still away on holiday, the sun was still very much shining every day as I left to go to work and as I came home... now...
The majority of people I meet on my walk to work are kids or parents with their kids... The last three days it has gently rained on my way to and from work... it's still enjoyable only a little less so... still just a trinkle...!!!
I see the same people at the same spot everyday as I walk. Everyone has this wherever they are in the world as people have their routines... the funny thing is one of the guys I see every morning, had the SAME SHIRT and the SAME Trousers on everyday... and i would start getting crazy dejavu... one day I didn't see him, but when I turned around, i did see him, it's only he'd changed shirt and trousers and it looked like a totally different person. Really interesting... today he walked in a suit!!! First time i saw that... stay tuned to find out what he'll be wearing tomorrow...
Sales isn't such a bad job... people aren't always best pleased to hear from a salesperson and you've learned all the best ways to shut telesales people up in the future... but it's a real skill and something that takes time to perfect... the same with face-to-face sales... Ben, the guy I work with is quite articulate and a very good sales person for having never had experience of it before... there's a lot to learn from him despite our personalities clearly clashing... it's not often that I've had to work sooo close to someone who I quite clearly clash on a personality level... but that's part of the great experience...
I've been eating lots of fantastic things.. London is the best place in the world for eating out... had Chinese food in China town (in SOHO) with my friend Giang from my time working in Lund...it was a fantastic time!!! Italian, Japanese, English... you name it i've eaten it...!!! Really recommend you to come over for the food...
I have joined the gym, Anne and I got a "couples" price and I have my first session with a "personal trainer" tomorrow... should be an interesting day... they also have a swimming pool and sauna and steam room... everything included in the price, hopefully i'll make the most of the gym.. gotta get back in to some kind of shape for the christmas FEAST!!! :-p
That's a very quick, quite uninformative update of whats new with me... i'll try to find some pictures to upload for next time ... hopefully after I've been at the gym a few times with Anne...!!!
