I moved house last night. I now live in an excellent third floor two bed room flat on Theophile de Bockstraat just by Vondel Park with Andy who I work with. Its definitely better than living out in Borstol, thats for sure! Last night me and Andy built the new bed for my room, a splendid piece of IKEA engineering that took about 3-4 hours to knock up. This week has been fairly good since the negativity that I started the week with. Easyjet are having a sale so Crystal, James and Vicky are out next week and then the week after will be Gaz, Bry and assorted others who can make it. As the next two weekends are going to be slightly hectic I have decided to do absolutely nothing this weekend. I'm seeing Kimya Dawson tonight, The Loved Ones tomorrow night and at some point visiting the World Press Photo Exhibition but apart from that, nowt!
This blog kinda has no direction or point so excuse my rambling. Three people got made redundant from Glasswork's last Friday as the industry is pretty dead right now. It sucks as two of them had served for 10 years. On the flipside we get it pretty good as two of them are coming to work here on freelance contracts. I know we all felt terrible in our office as Amsterdam is doing ridiculously well compared to London so although its business and an olive branch wasn't lent, I know the producers here felt they could help the redundant few, so they did. As a result the runners got shuffled about, meaning a fellow runner got promoted to library and another runner was made head runner. I had to speak to my boss who was out here this week to ask what would happen to me once I returned to London (mid July) and he didn't really have an answer for me. My pride dictates that although I have a great opportunity out here in Amsterdam that I cannot go back and run under someone who started 6 months after me and see another fellow runner (who started after me) in the library above me. I feel kinda shat on as I have worked just as hard for a year as the others and feel slightly let down by Glassworks. I'm gonna see how things pan out once I return to London but if nothing changes then I'm off.

if you decided that you're not feeling london stevo, and you're perhaps not committed to stay in your job, then theres no reason that you have to go back really? Maybe you could find another job in amsterdam for a while? Specially since you just got a house.
