not sure what to call this post

Hello out there. Another boring day had by me, but I did have things to do today which was better. I am not sure I like the whole secretary thing to be honest. I admire people who do it, and keep offices running smoothly, but man, I have no desire to do it! I can't complain too loudly at home, or bad mouth the life of a PA, as one of my flatmates, Nat, is a PA in the city. And she's lovely. So I can't really hold it against her!!

I want to say thank you to all of the people who have ever commented on my journal. I love reading what you have to say. :-)

I am not sure if I have all that much to write tonight. I was thinking of investigating the idea of doing a short course or two. I would meet people, and I may even get to use my brain! So, after thinking something along the lines of "where am I going to find out about courses?" I was handed a free newspaper today. And what does it contain? It is a newspaper dedicated to courses all over London. Hello! So I went through the entire thing this evening with Scott, and I found about 10 that I would like to do. Obviously, I cannot do them all, but there are several that make the shortlist. There are two related directly to specific museums, Tate Britain and the Victoria and Albert. And there are two run by the British Museum. So I will do them, depending on when they are etc. Sounds good to me!!

We had a pint with a guy from Scott's work the other night which was great. It was nice to be social with someone other than the people we live with. We checked out the pub in the main street of our suburb. I met them there after work, and we spent two hours there. It was fab. And it turns out he knows Henrike in Germany (my host sister Vera from 8 years ago's sister). Small world I tell ya! Anyway, the upshot of what I am trying to say is that he has been in London for a month or so now, and he has found it difficult to meet people. And the same rings true for other people at Scott's work too. But, I think we will make the effort and meet these people outside of work. One of the people who started with Scott is a girl called Lucy. She has done museum temping, so I am keen to pick her brains. We certainly have something in common!!

I have been writing this journal entry for what seems like ever. I have been multi-tasking. I have been chatting on MSN, Yahoo and checking my mail Oh my brain hurts!!
