Just Beyond The Bridge

The Forger

Wednesday, September 06, 2006

When I phoned up Currinsworthy today he was in a sailboat halfway between Southampton and the Isle of Wight. Is this the life of an entrepreneur? He told me he'd been reading Richard Branson (the short version - no time for longer tomes when you are on the international scene). Our chat lasted a good half hour and scaled several topics from my current work situation, to his involvement with investors to my new project and my new CV, which by the way is looking, err, different.

I read somewhere that one person once had their CV printed on the side of a Space Hopper in order to create some interest at the design firm he was applying to. I also heard another story about someone sending a box of egg shells with their credentials emblazoned upon them. Unsurprisingly, neither of them got the jobs. Mine is slightly more tasteful I hope, although I am pushing the envelope a little. More will be revealed soon if I don't get fed up and throw it all away.

Being one of the last nights before people start disappearing off to their respective universities, Tom, Cuth, John, Liam, Steve and myself went for a balti in Wollaston yesterday evening. The place was called Karma, and although laced with the finest fibre optical lighting and blue/pink uplighters, I wasn't overly impressed. Food was OK, service was slow yet we were the only people in there between the time we arrived and left (work that mystery out) and I didn't get asked if there was anything I would like to eat (which I often feel is one of the main reasons for going out for food in the first place).

Today has brought much juggling of priorities although I'm still not feeling 100% happy with progress. I lack the impetus that comes with being given deadlines; and all of the ones I have at the moment seem to be floating about like crazed butterflies. People... give me dates!

The one day I am looking forward to is September 12th... I've got this feeling it's going to be just like unwrapping presents on Christmas day, except I won't get to keep anything, and if it's like any other Apple event, the expectations of what are in the box will turn out to be totally misguided.

This is Just Beyond The Bridge
