The trouble with working
just had a rather moderate job interview, and now feeling utterly miserable. I'm not sure why. Maybe i'm just tense pending their final resposnse. Why couldn't they just say OK or SOD OFF. it'd be easier. maybe.
Anyway, the weekend was good. Worked on Saturday morning, then went down to omote-sando to meet jez for a beer. Matt & Shingo made it too. Which was perfect, because we had both just recieved a text message eviction notice from out flat. So spent a few moments complaining about French leeches, dogs, and general dodginess. Sunday was grand too. Mostly just sleeping in shinjuku-goen with belgian beer, cheese, pate and bread. what more could you want? Then ended up in Shimo-Kitazawa for the 2nd time, and i like the place even more. Shame it is so far out of central Tokyo.
I guess, what i'm pondering, is that i could call Japan quits right now. Wind up the migration, resign, fly. Trek S America for a few months, wind up in London, and get a decent job. Build a villa in Portugal and pretend to be happy. Or I could just pretend to be happy here. Right. So try to be positive: Either way, next week should be the Big Week of decisions. I was hoping it would be this week, but looks unlikely. I guess, what's i'm saying is. I have a chance to go to London, which right now, I feel like going to. Why? No idea. Maybe i'm fed up of feeling homeless. In fact, I'm pretty sure, that's the only problem....
So Bell landed yesterday, and I got him drunk, and tried to weasle a thought out of his head an appropriated comment about me being interminably dissatisifed ;but alas no joy. I shall remain interminably disatisfied. We went out to some JET / Peace type party, and Lauren practically jumped on him, which was hilarious as it was, and then I even got a call today from her asking 'to show him around Tokyo'. Annila managed to get every guys phone number in the bar within about one hour, and Rheanna did an amazing disappearing act, which involved not even showing up, despite about 10 calls to ask for directions. Still ice cold. Me or her? Dunno.
And the final response came today. To say they want a couple more weeks and more interviews before the final response. Ick. Which means i've got to get a new place to live before securing a job. I'm told it's normal. BarCap did 4 interviews for a guy.
I guess, I dont really want to work for a living. And I really hate offices. It's a relationship that I want to terminate. But some of the wisest words I ever heard: Don't leave your apartment until you've got a new place to live. Trouble is, i'm already homeless.
