Another reason why I love London!
Yesterday, I had a work meeting in West End, a really shitty meeting but I won’t bored you with the details. Since I’m in town I thought I do some work shopping (which involves looking at shops ‘aimlessly’ for some new ideas for our customers to work on product development) Wrong idea! It’s Thursday late night shopping at the world’s busiest street and worse thing is.. Sales is on! I hate shops full of people fighting for over-priced sales items, I’m tired and not in the mood, so I decided to call it a day at 4pm. Another wrong idea! Stupid Northern line was suspended and I end up stranded in ‘lovely’ Stockwell… exactly what I needed when I already had a long work day! Anwyay, got out of the station not have a clue what to do next, seeing all these people running around the station/bus stop/ street desperately trying to get to wherever they are supposed to get to, I thought.. sod it, let’s just get a drink and wait for the tube to resume to work! Conveniently, there’s a decent outdoor pub right opposite.
So there I was.. enjoying a glass of wine (large glass) in a cool sunny afternoon, sorting out some work emails on my blackberry, I would definitely enjoy work more if everyday is like this.
But unfortunately, the tube’s still suspected after my drink and it took me another two and half hours to get home, a jounery normally takes 30 minutes!!
