My first week in London..
Well I finaly got to take off from Houston on Saturday the 11th of Feb at 8:40 p.m...I had the best send off ever.. thank you Gus, Alyssa, Camille, Larry, Frances, Sarah, Missy, Byron, Allie and Becca from coming to see me off...then arriving in London on Sunday. I was so thankful to be greeted by Pete.. my driver.. who was a perfect gentleman and helped me from start to finish.. thank you Pete. I cried all day and most of the night but finally got to sleep ..with help.. around 3 am... only to get up for work just a few hours later. Work has been awesome.. or as awesome a first week at a new job can go. I have a great boss - Ron - and nice co-workers.. Richard, Neville, Tracey, Paul, Simon and another Richard. They all have the most perfect London accents. So.. my first week's experiences are..learning my new job.. learning about the new money.. getting lost.. finding my way back home.. walking a mile to work with tons of busy people.. got to see the St. Paul's Cathedral.... Tower Bridge.. London Bridge..a cool cemetary.. Liverpool Street Train Station...I have been to more meetings in the past week than I have in 10 years.. and I was not nervous at one of them!!! I talked to the traders at work without being nervous.. met tons of new people at work.. without being nervous and had dinner by myself at a cute little Italian place on a Friday night.. wow.. this is crazy stuff for me.. I also .. missed my family and friends and Elvis more than I ever could have imagined...
