African green eyes

I went for my job interview today. Blah blah blah... now i feel like it's not the job for me, I shouldn't say yes if they pick me. They want "someone willing to commit themselves until the end of 2005." Hell, I don't know where I`ll be at the end of June!

Next plan: head for the temp agency that got me my present job, and ask them for something temporary and part-time.

After the job interview, I got lost in the hospital. The place was laid out as a labyrinth. Then I ran into a black man with green eyes. I asked him how I could get out. He looked at me and said:

"You can't leave." He then started laughing.

I smiled politely, intrigued.

He bade me to follow him, asking "you`ve been working here for a week and still don't know your way around?"

I replied that it was my first time, I was there for an interview and test. To which he said "i`ve been here for 3 years and I still can't get out."

Was he some kind of benevolent hospital spirit?

The days are so sunny in London. It's practically the Riviera, minus the beautiful people.

I`m reading a great book right now, which I can't put down: The Famished Road, by Ben Okri. It's set in Nigeria. Go forth and read it, my palm-wine children
