Current Events > i'm going to the UK for work tomorrow

(+) Yeah! (+)

I hope i can fall asleep on the plane

last time i went I couldn't fall asleep because i needed to take a dump real bad and the two old people next to me fell asleep with the blanket over their heads and I was too beta to wake them up

so i held in a poop for 9 hours and exploded once I got to Heathrow

this time I'm not going to drink multiple cups of coffee
---

where abouts
---

ill be in Bath until the 26th and then spending the 26th in London and leaving the morning of the 27th
---

i thought that was too quick >.> didn't know you'll be in the UK so soon

i wish trump would leave asap
---

the risk management firm my company contracts with sent security alerts sent to my email because of trump
---

there was a news article saying that the US embassy over here told americans in london to keep a low profile

which is lame because the most we would do is think negatively and tut towards pro-trump americans

My thoughts exactly. Americans may be disliked as a concept but rarely as individuals.

I'm going to regret not upgrading to business class

you'll be fine bro

i try and go for aisle seats coz i need to pee all the time on planes
---

packed on this train to Bath like a public bus in India
---

Bath is a popular tourist place, so getting to it on the weekends is a right bitch. I remember it being awful when I wanted to hang out with friends their back when I was kid.

Also. Great western trains suck.
---

yeah it'll be super busy today coz of good weather

how was the flight?
---

flight was good, smooth and i slept most of the way through it

im in bath and my hotel room isn't ready yet so I'm just walking around

there was a specific restaurant I wanted to go to for lunch but I google maps'd my way to it and i couldn't find it so im just going to go to wagamama
---

what do you do as a job? And where do your work currently?

i quite like wagamama

the sad thing is that their starters are quite expensive but the best things on the menu

the calamari is the best
---

i got beer and chicken ramen

i feel unusually full

Snap your fingers and cough impatiently whenever someone walks by.

Works 140% of the time, 10% of the time.

Welcome to living way up north in the hemisphere. It's even worse up in Scotland, and the scandinavian countries.

I dunno, if it's not TOO cold, I quite enjoy snuggling under a think duvet. But weather like this, even sleeping nude under a blanket or nothing at all is awful.

i've been in just underwear with a wide open window next to me and it's doing nothing

i'm too cheap to have a fan on all night and i'd end up with a headache

Oh yeah, I wouldn't have a fan either. Costs too much and just makes me bleh the next day as well I found.

My windows have some stupid child lock I can't get rid of, so don't really open enough so I just feel bleh after sweltering in my bedroom.

If you need to fall asleep on the plane you can just like take zquil or something no

---

---

the weather has been amazing and i love the food in this town

i can't wait for the weekend because it'll be my first time spending a full day in Bath even though this is my third trip here

haven't done much drinking because I'm currently bogged down in homework

---
