vyvyanxSo, last night was the Calling, for the first time since last November, in its new venue, the Kambar. Dressed up in black PVC dress, shiny blue boots and shiny metal collar, and G came round after a couple of pints with B in the Regal, and dressed up as well, looking very nice in black shirt with metal decorations on the sleeves and very tight black trousers. Drank a couple of G&Ts, then went to KSR first of all to meet up with R; also saw DM and his friend from Oxford, and another guy they know. After a pint, headed off to Kambar. Sang Jerusalem on the way there, because someone asked me the words :-) At the Calling, saw loads of people: mcv, M, Morph, Giolla, V, W, SA and JM, Karen...and many others, I'm sure. Oh, GC, of course, who's sharing the cottage in Whitby with me, G and R.
Danced lots, drank quite a lot of nasty lager, chatted to people. I seem to recall talking at great length to Sion about my ambitions (or rather, lack of them). G got really drunk, and kept snogging T, which I didn't really mind. Afterwards, my feet were killing me - those blue boots have very pointy toes!
This morning, it was very hard to evict G from bed to go to work - he was really hung over. We met for lunch again at Pure, where he looked very grim and handed me an envelope. He'd just been told his contract with the bank will not be renewed after it ends in March. Not really a surprise, but it upset him quite a bit. He was also feeling very ill, and took the rest of the day off work. He's sleeping in my bedroom now. Problem now is, what to do if he can't find another job by March. He's applying for a couple of IT jobs atm, and will obviously keep looking, but his father won't renew the letting contract for his room if he doesn't have a job, which would mean he'd have to go and live back home in Welwyn. All very difficult.
I've also been told to decide what's happening about my room next academic year, given the end of my fellowship. I don't know what to say - if they extend the fellowship, I'd like to keep the room, but if they don't (and I won't know that for some time) I can't. So what do I say?
