Need a place to live; 1 month until I get paid.

First weekend after my first days working in 3 months.
However I don't get paid until the end of the month, so somehow I have to sort out accommodation without any money in my bank account. I'll probably end up sending my self money from the US to here. Went shopping today and spent money on things I don't need. There are A LOT of shops down Oxford street.

Ah, that reminds me: They have a new version of Monopoly out. I realise after looking at it in a bookshop that they've changed all the properties and prices to more accurately reflect today (Airports instead of railways, £600k, £1.2 million pounds, £4 million etc) however the most marked change is that there are credit cards you stick in a machine instead of paper money. Now that assuredly is more realistic, but doesn't it kind of take away from half the fun of Monopoly?

It appears as though my current job is going to be dramatically different than my previous one. My title here is 'Consultant', the office is around the centre of London, and on Monday (for a few months unfortunately...) I'm going out to a customer site. A bit of a change from being out in the middle of nowhere not talking to any 'outsiders'. Oh yeah, and I'm going to have deadlines at some point, and presumably will be expected to work long days when things are due. Sounds like fun.
