Well after my first office day at the "office" I can say with confidence that my job is crazy! But lucky for you that makes for better blogging!
I arrived today 30 minuets early, which was not a problem but slightly awkward as my boss answered the door in his drawstring, what appeared to be juicy couture pants for men (which he preceded to wear the rest of the day). Among other things my tasks for the day were to call a 90 year-old plus man whom I had to get addresses from (easier said than done, the think English accent still catches me off guard). I also had to read and give a summary of a book proposal sent to him, which was not as hard as it sounds, or at least sounded to me. As well as do some database work.
My co-worker whom I share my 4 foot x 4 foot, gave me the great advice of telling our boss when you are leaving instead of waiting for him to tell you when you were to leave, she said that one day she ended up staying till 8! No thank you.
But our boss seems to value my opinion which makes me feel good, and has given me a lot of freedom with what he has assigned me.
It has to be said that the tube is the best way to travel. upon enter or leaving you will be forcefully handed a free news paper (which Mr. Robert Pattinson himself graced the cover with today!!) which is really just a free gossip newspaper peppered with some news. So I head to "pret"(best chain cafe ever, kicks Starbucks butt) grab my tea and yogurt and side onto the car just in time to sit have some breakfast on the go and read my free news. Let me not fail to mention the fact that every time I ride the tube home from work I fall in love! The English men are a notch above the rest of the world, they dress well, their hair is always perfectly messy, they know how to dress, oh and there is one other thing...THE ACCENT!! I catch myself staring in the tube, and then quickly looking away blushing I'm sure. So even on the worst of days, I can look forward to riding the tube home.
One last side note, I forgot to post some pictures from our time last weekend, so better late than never! Here they are:
















































The first is Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana lived, second is the bank they used for the outside of Gringotts in the first Harry Potter Movie, third is Callie attempting to feed ducks in Hyde Park, fourth is some beautiful flowers from Hyde Park (yes Chelsea this is a theme of my life taking pictures of flowers, Callie already made fun of me from when I did it like when we were at Disney) And last but certainly not least is this awesome looking bird Callie and I found in the Natural History Museum (Jill obviously this is for you)
