whingeing about...

More work-related rockiness: So, I was invited not to go to work on Friday. I’m not sure if this is because, as she said, most interns don’t work Fridays, or if it was because there’s no work to do, or if it was because she wants to minimize my time in the office. Strange – getting time off from work irritates me. It is bothersome because I want to be working, doing things – relaxed pace doesn’t suit me. Also, the hope is that doing well with menial tasks will lead to more interesting tasks (even though I find it quite difficult to excel at a menial tasks – I mean, typing up stuff or filing things is hard to fuckup, but also hard to do conspicuously well). I probably came into this too ambitious; if I readjust expectations/goals, it’ll be fine.

In other news, one of the apartment buildings en route from tube to apartment is strange. Always filled with a number of young people milling about, and I’ve seen an absurd number of people there fixing their bikes just outside somewhere on the street. I’m going to investigae…

    two questions:

    1. What exactly is your internship for? I don't think you ever told me/I don't remember.

    2. When are you going to be in London until? I'm thinking of going at the end of August.

    1: Yeah, we've had patchy communication, to say the least. I'm working for a Tory MP, Oliver Letwin. He's in the shadow cabinet, working on the Conservative's policy review.
    2: Fantastic. I should be in london until roughly the 31st, when I'm hopefully leaving for Nigeria. The only problem is that on the weekend of the 17th/18th I'll be at v-festival (with Tim and Ian!) and then for the Tue-Fri of the following week in Amsterdam, and then for the following weekend at Reading festival. So I'm not sure if we would actually sync up...Unless you were interested in the festivals etc.

    The 17/18 is a thurs/fri, not a weekend. But if I wind up coming, i'll probably be there from the 16/17 to the 29ish. So will you be around for any point during that period?
