Wrote a long post about my recent life change and diastious October that covered: missing a flight by 10mins, being turned down from renting a crappy cheap room in a flat share because I take my salary as dividends, launching new portfolio website and getting zero response from recruiters/jobs, design job market looking dismal and not suitable for a middle age man, girlfriend clearly not doing well as looking anorexic and resulting in me falling out of love feeling guilty and overwhelmed by her, feeling worn down and beaten up by london after being here for less than two week, contemplating living with my mother for a couple months at age 40 while I get myself a new plan.... but, figured, chin up, keep going, and deleted what I wrote.
- I miss my Lisbon life. Why did I think a 3rd move in my lifetime to London would work out: Arrived full of confidence, less than 2w later, I'm done.shapesalad
- Stick with it shape. London is a great place to catch a break - as bleak and impersonal as it can seem.Fax_Benson
- I paid £60 for agency ref/credit check. Got great landlord ref, always paid rent on time etc, no debts, but my 'salary' is less than £18k, as I take my pay asshapesalad
- dividend from my ltd = reject from renting a crappy room in a flat share. which was only £600pm. It was easier to rent in Lisbon, as a foreigner.shapesalad
- Read in the news a terrorists wife, not born in the uk, is suing on the basis of human rights because she didn't like the free council housing she was offeredshapesalad
- in the uk. She'd been in hotels for a year paid for by uk tax payers (that's me). Fuck this country is a mess.shapesalad
- Applied to a senior motion design job, require 2D/3D, lots of experience, £20k. in LDN. In my covering letter asked if it was typo on the advertised salary...shapesalad
- "I lost. Everyone else is won at the game of life" I thought, as I walked past Hamilton Terrace and the £20m+ houses and streets full of super cars...shapesalad
- Nothing wrong with living with your Mum btw...do what you gotta do my friend. Anyone that judges you is a cock.BusterBoy
- i have to be the friendly asshole to tell you to put your fucking ego aside and live with your mom until you pull your shit together.********
- Look inside.notype
- What sted said, but, why not going back to Port, and work/live there? No work visa? If ldn is not your place, why wait until you loss your soul there?OBBTKN
