Shiny new job - even better than a shiny new car.

Just wanted to let everyone know that after exactly two months of Londonhood, I finally landed a job. Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone put out there for me. I knew if I could get someone to just TALK TO ME, I could make it happen. I will officially be the Sustainable Transport Officer for the Borough of Ealing. (Aaron, am I one step closer to Capt. Sustainable now?) 

This role is completely different from my most recent, but will be a great chance to really take ownership for a project or programme, depending on how you look at it. The hardest part, I think, is going to be leveraging folks from their cars. As I walked out of the interview, I saw a flyer calling Ealing, the "Queen of the Suburbs". Me

rcy, this is going to be tough. It appears that there is a lot of executive support for the process, but I think I should still dust of "Getting to Yes" and sharpen up my negotiation skills. So, there you have it. Employment never felt so good. 

The other good news is that we have decided to stay in our flat for another 6 months. It seems that since I am working west of central London and Chris works east of it, that our place is just about mid-point for both of our commutes. Paco comes in eleven days, so that may also play a role in future decisions about sticking around here, but for now, this is home. Plus, I don't think either of us can stomach the thought of moving right now...as it is definitely on my top ten least favorite things to do.

New post coming soon about our trip to Harrods. Sorry we've been such lame bloggers lately. Hugs all around...
