Homelessness

Well, I've been homeless now for about a week due to the moving out part working but the moving in part falling through. With this being my fourth week in B&B's / hotels I've not really noticed it too much. It's slowly starting to get to me, I think, it's hard to tell. It's not pissing me off at all, I just feel very numb. Robotic, almost. Most of my responses during the day are automatic, I don't really feel myself "coming through" very often.

The new job is going well. I'm gettng to grips with everything and it doesn't seem nearly as overwhelming as it did a couple of weeks ago. The company is quite odd though. The real brain-trust of the team, developer-wise, are three contractors who are being "phased-out". Two are leaving at the end of the month, the other at some unspecified time after that. The two who are leaving have both been with the company for two or more years, while the rest of the team are all new: a year of service or less. It's very odd.

The funny / annoying thing is I find more common ground with the people who are going than with those remaining. The two remaining I think of as Eyore and Tigger. That probably conjures up enough of a picture!

The really handy thing about the job at the moment is they're sending me on training courses in London for the next fortnight. Having just payed for a "cheap" hotel in Kew Gardens I can no longer afford to move, and as I'm going to be in hotels for a fortnight anyway, I don't really feel the same pressure to move as I did before.

Right, I'm off to the pub.

Oh yeah, Crawley sucks!
