exciting, informative, snarky, and very likely fabricated tales of life as an american expat in london

faithful reader -

ugh. web server problems. so this is a test email, to see if the cronjob I set up will actually run and post this email. either way, my site may be fucked, so who knows if anyone will even get to see it.

Been very busy at work lately. And last night was my Christmas work drinks gig. Manage to polish off a whole bottle of wine for self, and *still* make it into work an hour before my boss (who looked a bit worse for the wear. she drank red, i drank white. you make the call.) the pressure to do work gatherings is such a big thing around here – it’s impossible to say no gracefully. and as much as i like the people i work with, there are only a few i’d elect to hang out with socially. and the drinking culture is so pervasive, there’s no way to escape it, really. most of the time i enjoy a
friendly after work do. but around christmas it’s just so draining.

anyway, sorry this isn’t more exciting, but hopefully things will be back on line soon, and i’ll update then.

ciao for now,
jen
