Blinded by a New Job

On the work front, things looked up when I was offered a post in London by one of the agencies that I had been registered with for over a year. They were apologetic, it was fairly menial and not that well paid, but since they had not managed to secure anything better for me and since winter was biting, I decided to get something that allowed me to sit on my bum at a regular job. As soon as I got started, I wanted to go out and see Claudia before I went again for Christmas. I was chuffed, this could be a new start. I booked a weekend flight to Dortmund and called her to tell her. Bad idea! I was in trouble. She was not pleased or surprised. She had arranged to go and see a comedy show with her brother and his girlfriend on the Friday night so no-one would be able to collect me from the airport. How could I be so stupid and book something without checking with her first. I expected a bit of a moan, but not such a flat out denouncement!

I cancelled the trip and booked for Christmas.
