Going to see the "Bad Blur"

My get-rich-quick schemes aren't working. I bought lottery tickets with the numbers [livejournal.com profile] stephmog gave me, but I barely got a number in the results. Kevin and the Sissys humoured me instead of calling out my job-avoiding tactics for what they really are. But what can I do when the temp agency doesn`t have any work and going through the job section in the papers is too much effort?

I took a walk to Paddington`s HSBC branch to collect my new bank card. On the way back, I stopped by the station`s WH Smith to look through the best-sellers. I wanted to read their first paragraphs and see what was the secret of their success. Later, I found a tiny booth selling cappuccinos for 1.50, so I bought a cup and a cherry flapjack. I don`t have a suit for a job interview, and I don`t want a job that will make me wear a suit.

We are going tonight to the Kaiser Chiefs` concert. I expect to see [livejournal.com profile] dawnkitten in the front row, trying to pull their trousers off. One of the Sissys doesn`t want to go so I've texted Reco about the spare ticket. Reco is a friend from Brasil who is in London for three months, taking intensive English courses. I promised to invite him to as many gigs as possible since he hardly has a chance to see these bands in Brasil. We've already hung out once, last Saturday, in our local pub. He seems to have adapted nicely to London in the two weeks he`s been here.

Time to move to the "get rich at a leisurely pace" plan?

Methinks you don't want ANY job! House-husband maybe?

I need money too, omg. I have hardly any for my trip to Florence - if I don't find a job over there I'll be spending three months doing nothing because most of the places I want to go have a small entrance fee - above all the Boboli Gardens...*is dying to see them again*

The younger sister of my pregnant friend wants to come to the UK for English lessons. There's only so many bad words I can teach her.

Have a good time at the Kaiser Chiefs, tonight! I despise wearing suits for any occasion, & never, never at work......I wish I could be an international man of leisure.....

HAW! - I love it!

I've been out of work for a long time. I've experienced a quite a few days thinking like that... Well at least you bought Lottery tickets - I just got cigarettes. I figure the casino has much better odds but then I get too lazy to, let alone learn to play well. ;)
