I had an exciting phone call with my best mate from school last night (Nick). He is getting bored with London and slaving away for an investment bank. He wants to move to Bristol, yay! This is the man who in previous posts I have toyed with the idea of getting a combined mortgage with. A man with whom I have built charity race carts, gone skiing, done Duke of Edinburgh expeditions with, 48 mile charity walks, roomed with at school and generally caused a lot of mischief with. Needless to say, we are close friends so the thought of him coming to Bristol is pretty exciting. If things carry on the way they are I might never want to leave Bristol!
I have to admit, he sounded pretty rough last night. Those nasty investment banks do pay lots of money, but they take your soul. So I now have a new challenge to keep me entertained. I need to find a job or recruiting agency in Bristol that would be interested in a highly qualified accountant with corporate recovery and financial controller experience. Now where are those high end recruitment agencies to be found..? And once I get his butt firmly settled in Bristol, he can help me get this classic car project off the ground, something else he is also very qualified to do as before he became a corporate prostitute (ie an accountant) he was going to be an engineer.
Now for a more immediate challenge, what the hell am I going to do with my hair? It needs a trim thus the clippers may come out soon, however, I have left the back to grow. Do I go through with the half backed idea of experimenting…? Indecision, indecision…
