Right people. My day is being super hectic so before i go and try again ill share this.
So for those who dont know months ago I accepted my job offer to work for IBM in London Southbank. I live in Ipswich so not wanting to commute 5 hours a day I have decided to move to London.
Yesterday I dropped off my first load of possessions at my room. Its £400 a month in eastham. Double bed and its quite a large room which is all good. Landlord seems very relaxed... so relaxed in fact that the living room stinks of weed as he seems to come over a few nights a week and stay in the spare room D: So yeh it smells funny and my room is on the ground floor which isnt great but Ill deal with it. Im living with one of my friends so thats a good thing I guess.
Today... Ive packed all the rest of things including my drawers and desk and had to say bye to my gf of two years. Ill be back once a fortnight to see her and hopefully she will come see me. On the way to dropping her off I had a puncture at 70mph. Pulled over and had to drive with it flat to get off the dual carriage way. Wheel swapped but seeing as I have another 300+ miles to drive on a crap spare I have now returned home to put on an entirely different set of cyclones.
In the next 15 minutes I will now be leaving to get to London to unload the car. Then pack for southampton where my induction is for the next week. I have a travel lodge room booked for the night so will probably end up there just before midnight! D:
So yeh sorry for the long winded story but Im a bit lost now that Ive had a bit of bad luck and having to leave everything I know behind.
Pros:
Its London
Decent job
Cheap Rent
Large Room with Free parking in a half decent area.
Cons:
Need to be in london in the next 3 hours.
Need to be in southampton in the next 6 hours.
Blow out and odd wheels :/
First day in the job tomorrow! D:
Blahh. if anyone has any motivational stuff for me please let me know. Now that Im in london ill be able to come to the Ace meets etc. Cheers guys.
