Public transport hell

The piccadilly line was rammed today, due to the central line being part-suspended in West London. It seems that some idiots decided to steal some power cables at North Acton. It took me an hour and a half to get to work this morning thanks to that.

After living in london for just over four years I can safely say I’m not London Underground’s biggest fan. Every time something goes slightly wrong on the tube you can guarantee your journey home is going to be hell. The system just doesn’t cope. I can see why so many people still choose to drive into central London despite the congestion charge. Instead of punishing people financially for not using public transport maybe the government should be doing more to improve the tube.

Excuses excuses

I have been a bit crap at posting here lately. Though god knows if anybody actually reads this. There has been a fair amount going on recently and I just haven’t had the time. Now I’ve moved to another job and everything is back on track again I am going to make more of an effort to post here…

No longer jobless

Panic over. I’ve been offered a job in another department, which I have decided to accept :)

It’s such a relief. Especially since I no longer have to deal with recruitment consultants anymore. Some of them are a complete nightmare to deal with.

Not the best of days

We got told my whole department is being shut down today. Needless to say it was a bit of a shock :-(

It took me nearly six months to get this job, now I’ve lost it in just over four :(

Looks like it’s time to sort out my CV.

Moving house

We moved house today. It went a lot more smoothly than I expected it to. We managed to pack everything up and tidy the old flat in a couple of hours. We’re usually a lot more disorganised than this. I can’t say I’m going to miss Tottenham too much. This flat has been an absolute nightmare. Hopefully we’ll have less problems in our new one.
