Well, first things first, work. As usual on weekdays I went to work, however today was slightly different than usual as I was suffering from bit of a hangover. Thankfully it was not very terrible, and it got a lot better after I went to the chinese at lunch with Dawn D, Debbie, Karen S and Karen W. It is magic what a bit of chicken in garlic sauce can do.
Work has been very busy lately and many things have been happening. That is good since that means that something is actually being done.

I can't say that life here in the UK isn't what I imagined since I didn't think to much about it before I arrived. It is useless to worry about things beforehand and better just to deal with them when they pop up - if they pop up at all. There are some things that have really caught my attention. First of all I feel I have to mention the bank system. It is crappy. Way to much bureaucracy and everything is soooo difficult. I actually stormed out of the bank once, I was so angry.
Another thing I remember now is the way people here seem to call everybody "love" or "darling". This woman at the bank did this to me, it was not long after I had arrived and I was there trying to open up my account. It ended with me storming out as I said but not before I had told her that I was not her "darling" - or something in that direction.
It is allright in tiny amounts but I can get absolutely fuming if there is to much of it.
