hathycolToday I am overwhelmed by the kindness of strangers. I asked ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
copperbadge if he would be kind enough to pass on my details to anyone who could give me housing/job tips on his Radio Free Monday feature, and the request went up today. I'd had some astonishingly thoughtful and kind comments, full of links and tips and things I would have never found myself. I feel really positive about finding a job, now, and inspired to Get On With It. And I'm just overwhelmed at how lovely people have been, taking time out of their day to help someone they don't know from Adam.
Which makes me feel chirpy about London, because it means that not everyone is going to stab me/rob me/be unspeakingly rude. TAKE THAT, PARENTS.
So thank you to everyone visiting the journal for the first time, and already established friends who have offered help and advice. I appreciate it more than I can say.
In ongoing news on the That Thar London front, I have handed in my notice, if by that you mean blurting out "I'M RESIGNING" in response to the 'How was your weekend?' question. Good feeling, though, even if I did get to have the strange experience today of writing up an advertisement for my own job.
Also, my parents are on holiday at the moment, in my godfather's holiday home that he's now having a bash at running and using them as guinea pigs. He and his wife have lived and worked in London for longer than I've been alive, so hopefully they will calm down my parents! He's already offered to put me and Richie up when we're flat hunting, which is a bit of a weight off my mind.
