Cold blooded socialising
So I'm in Ryan's bar, not because it's The Place To Be, but because it's a half way point between people, and it isn't a rip-off. Unlike most of the places in the West End. I'm sitting at the table with my back to the wall, bloke to my right, bloke opposite. Kinda boxed in, and out of the way of the general public.
Indian guy wanders into the bar, scans, turns, and directs his focus squarely at me. Wanders over and starts a conversation. The inquisition begins:
"where are you from?"
"what do you do?"
and continues as I politely respond and reciprocate. Looking for an invite to sit down on the table with us, he shows disappointment after a couple minutes of my company, shakes hands and leaves.
AND THEN I was guilt ridden. A guy, with no malice had come up to the group for the pure reason of company, and I cruelly denied him this for no particular reason.
The drinking habit is set to get worse, as JM and RM are set to move to Edinburgh.
Hercules could not have stayed awake in the meeting that I am in the process of recovering from. With thick black coffee, I will once more feel alive. Restraining sleep in an office meeting will forever be a considered a gift I was not born with.
In life - What do you acquire, and what do you learn?
