Mondays weigh in.

...83 and a bit kilos a reduction. SO call it 83 and a half, which means that I've definitely lost half a kilo since last Monday by eating more at controlled times & thus eaten less snacks. I dont think the weight loss is sustainable without doing some exercise, but even so, its progress. I also think that the weight loss would have been more without the 5 bottles of beer yesterday, or the 4 on Friday night, but hey! I'm not made of stone, you know!

No news about the job yet though. Should find out some time today (allegedly) - but I dont advise anyone to hold their breath; they normally say "we'll let you know by x", but dont. In fact, x usually comes & goes with nary a word from the agency & then, at some distant point in the future, they call you back about another role - and when you question them about the role you went for 6 months ago they tend to adopt a slightly stunned-yet-dopey expression and mutter something inane like "oh, didn't we tell you?"...

Amsterdam ramblings

Whilst I’m overjoyed at the whole “offered job” thing, I am now suddenly exhausted; its as though someone has cut my strings and I’m lifeless. Though it might have something to do with the fact that its over 33 degrees in the office, the sun is beating down on me, the office stairwell is a giant greenhouse & feeds into the top floor about 3 feet from where I’m sat and (most importantly) there is no wind! The windows are wide open, but I’ll be damned if I can see any leaves moving – let alone branches etc. Its more “drowning” than “breathing” cos the air is so thick & heavy…

Right then ( here is the Amsterdam ramblings that you’ve all been expecting )

Anyway, I’m still buzzed. Tired, but definitely buzzed. I will be reviewing the calendar and will be putting something up on the list for a “leaving party”
