Monday

I had a meeting this morning on the other side of London...I had a meeting at three in Victoria, and I had a meeting at four back in Chelsea.  I'm looking for a new job...my boss has now got me doing the job of three people.  The Bulgrian girl was fired...just before one year of her employment was up...so my boss couldnt get into trouble (you're not supposed to employ people who are not residents of the European Community).  The diplomat's son quit unexpectantly and I was given his workload.

After I finished work, I decided to meet my friend James.  We went to Coq d'Argent in the city.

I got into the city early and decided to go to Ponti's Italian restaurant in Liverpool Street for an all-day breakfast...but it had been turned into a Starbucks.  Seems like there are Starbucks on every corner of London now.  I decided to go to McDonald's instead.

Although I want to leave this life of drinking, bars, and schmoozing behind, I cant seem to...London wont let me.  I want to save money but I just cant seem to stop spending...restaraunts, pubs, bars...its just a long, neverending series of meetings, dinners and networking.
