Lunch

Well, I met up with Lee at 12:30 for lunch and I wasn't really looking forward to it. As it happens it wasn't too bad, no heavy talking about Leigh, but the spark we used to have has gone. We used to have a rapport which meant that we knew what each other was thinking. But it was nice to go and meet someone for luch and not HAVE to have a drink. I would like to go out for lunch / dinner more often, no matter who it is with.
Lee did mention that I could have a job with his security company as a trainee to be their new Business Developement Manager, but I really do not want (and couldn't do effectively) a management role anywhere. I've tried before and I'm no good at it. He said I would be ideal person for the job, but it just wouldn't be right for me, and I wouldn't be right for, or good at, the job. It was flattering, but also a bit infuriating as the only time anything is "offered" to me they are ones that I can't, or shouldn't take! There is also the fact that I wouldn't get what I'm earning at the moment and I would have to go back to driving, which I do not really want to, as a car costs too much money.
Lee had to get back home to do some work, so we were only out for about 2 hours. Afterwards, I decided to treat myself to some more comics and spent £20 on back issues in Orbital.

My landlord, Kevin, "mentioned" that he will get me a heater for my room next week as, when I put the heating on, in the flat ALL the rooms get heated and it costs a fortune. It was his way of hinting that I shouldn't use the heating. F**K THAT!!! It's freezing.
It was bad enough this morning that I had to wait half an hour for the cleaner to finish cleaning the bathroom while I was waiting to have a shower! He had just poured cleaner over every surface, even the floor, and left it for 15 minutes! He hadn't even cleaned the floor properly when he DID "finish," there were smears all over it!
