Drinking and Work and Fun ho ho!
Heya folks.
Well, I have about an hour before I have to start a tubeless trek into the heart of London. Oh, you think having an underground is a good thing, but when they work on the track you are on almost every weekend, it kinda sucks. I don't even understand the bus system here, but it is either that, a cab (25pds to the centre) or staying home (not an option). So, you ask what am I doing today? Going to a gallery, I think the Tate Britain, which I have yet to see. I have been to the National Gallery, I have been to the National Portrait, the Tate Modern and Saatchi ( a small private gallery, very very cool), but I have not been to Tate Britain or the Dali Gallery so today will hopefully be in one of those.
So, my week was okay mostly. I decided that the French girl that works with me is...well... very French. Nasty attitude and self-righteous. So, I am hoping that she, or me, will be transferred relatively soon. This may happen since we are both getting interviews for the new position at work. It will be a raise and a promotion so I am hoping beyond hope to get it. I have a good chance, but I am not sure how many people are up for the position, so we will see. Other than that, I started my new 5 a side team on Tuesday nights. Oh my god, the rules are strange!!! It isn't like indoor, it is completely different: keeper can't use feet to pass, can't come out of his crease at all, ball never above shoulder height, nets are only 4 feet high...very very strange. I am still getting used to it, but it is fast and will help me get in shape.
Friday night a few people from work went out drinking. Me, one of the guys I work with directly, the maintenance guy and two of his friends, and two of our clients. One of the clients is this cool English girl that I always joke around with about netball (what is netball??? I have no clue really), and the other client is the sexiest girl in our building, hands down. She is a Spanish girl who has been working here for years. So, the night was good. I drank, we drank and then we went home. So, I was going to leave it at that, but I just can't. I am going to the gallery today with Monica (Spanish girl). Yeah, Friday night was good.... understatement. It was brilliant. Nuff said.
So sits, happy and recovering,

"It was brilliant."
I'm glad you had a good time, and are hanging out with a hot chick, but if you come home sounding like Coronation Street I'm going to scrub your mouth out with soap and make you listen to Bag Pipes and fiddles until you speak properly again!! (Meghan makes me watch it and I have a hate-on for English mannerisms now =p )
Have fun at the Gallery Pete~
