When I first moved here I had two constants, and at that time, when everything had changed so much these two consistencies were of great comfort to me. Clare was the first one. Five days of the week I saw Clare. We worked together, temping, and it was ok. She made me smile and I looked forward to her honesty everyday. She’s moved away now. Gone to Brighton to study music and that’s cool. But I miss her. She unknowingly got me through that beginning part by doing nothing but being my friend. The second constant was that of a person I refer to as 'the tram man'. Every morning when I got the tram to work a man stands on the platform and hands out copies of 'Metro'. The man who did this at my stop had the friendliest face I’ve ever seen. every morning he smiled at me, and everyone else and he wore the nicest trousers all the time. really nice black jean type things, a bit tight that looked nice with the white converse he wore. I never spoke to him, mostly because i'm grumpy in the mornings and partly because my walkman was always a little to loud to hold conversation with out taking my headphones off and on again and that’s a complicated task at 7am. An occasional 'mornin' was muttered and he would flash me a warm smile, like he did to everyone else and that was it. Two weeks ago the tram man was replaced. It seems like you get used to things and it all changed again. I miss his smile.
When I started this new improved diary I had the intention of updating more regularly but with the computer at home breaking again I’m pushed to do this when I’m at work and work is busy. So I apologize once again for sporadic updates (i’m not sure if I spelt that right)
Also when I started this I was going to do a Listening to: and reading: bit but unfortunately I am not so good and being consistent like that but you will notice in the subject heading there is song lyrics in everyone. These are the song lyrics of the last song I listened to so that’s a bonus, eh kids... type it into a search station and find the song... fun games with jenni!
