Started my new job at the counselling centre. As expected, it was very peaceful and calming. Everyone was nice, attentive and very considerate. They want me to rehaul their admin systems, which will be a nice challenge.

I missed the old place a bit, I must admit. It was weird being in such a calm place when I’m used to madness and chaos, diva fits and ego trips. They’ve already blocked my email address at the old place – someone’s eager to get rid of me there! I’ll have fun when I go back there on Wednesday! Alvin called in sick so the others must have had a fun day.

Had a really nice Chinese green chicken curry for lunch. I’ll definitely go back to that place another time soon. My new workplace is in a really good location; it’s near to plenty of shops and restaurants, so I’m going to really enjoy going out for lunch nearby.

I witnessed two unnerving incidents today. While I was strolling around at lunchtime I saw a couple shouting at each other violently. It looked like it might come to blows for a moment.

Later on, when I arrived at my train station on the way home, all the masses of people getting off the train with me bustled along up the stairs. Suddenly, a fight erupted between a guy who had been rushing down the stairs to get the train and another guy who’d just gotten off. The crowd moved backwards to give the gladiators some room. Then it was all over, and we were allowed to disperse.

I need to do some work on my writing course (I started an online writing course last week). And the photography one. At least I’m not starting work until 10am tomorrow. Btw, I got to work at 9am today, assuming that I’d start work at that time, only to find that no one was there… So I walked around for ages looking for a toilet. It’s times like that when I wish I were a bloke. Oh well.
