A mere few months ago I dreaded conference calls, I was nervous and unsure. These days it is a whole other story. While I don’t quite look forward to them, I enjoy them once I get there and I’m pretty much doing a lot of the talking on them from our end. <\/p>\n
Today’s call was pretty great. About 10 minutes into it…and bearing in mind this was the call to end all calls…well not all calls but to end a project we had a problem. It was a stressful moment. John was standing up calling to Dave a few desks across that he needed to start talking. We left it for a moment while Dave spoke to someone to confirm it was not an issue.<\/p>\n
He came back on the call and did just that. Man what a feeling. I don’t think I managed to quite mute myself before my reaction but it was a simple “yes!”. It is officially done, we made the milestone and I have a client under my belt. It is a good feeling. Three years ago I was unemployed looking for a job. Two years ago I was starting off in London learning and loving it. One year ago I was doing the same job and hating it. Today I’m loving my job and instead of working on content I’ve just finished my first client.<\/p>\n
How fucking cool is that? <\/p>\n
Next milestone kicks off properly in the morning and fuck I can tell you I’m not going to make any of the same mistakes I made this time around. While I certainly hope there won’t be any, I am sure I will make new and interesting mistakes but they will not be the fucking same ones. <\/p>\n

\nSo tonight we weren’t all free to go out and celebrate we’ll have a couple fo drinks tomorrow I imagine and then a proper something in a couple of weeks. So I headed into town, it is new comic day after all. A few bits and pieces, Breakfast After Noon<\/i> by Andi Watson, the second part of DC’s Our World At War<\/i> and the Ultimate Marvel Team-Up<\/i> hardcover. It now ranks as the most expensive comic I own at \u00a329.99 but its a whole 17 issues of Bendis with artwork from the best there is in the business today. Considering each issue would retail for just under \u00a33 and this is an oversized<\/u> hardback I am more than happy. I also picked up two more Sandman<\/i> volumes in hardback, The Doll’s House<\/i> and A Game of You<\/i>. I am very glad tomorrow is payday.<\/p>\n
After the shopping I was walking towards my bus stop and I was passing Waxys. It occurred to me that a drink was in order so I went in. A couple of nice quiet pints sitting at the bar worked really well. Then I was feeling hungry so a hot-dog with fries from Ed’s just across the road called out.

And now a request<\/b> please. I’ve been buying some books over the past week to store up and I’ve got about ten so far. I’m looking for something specific. I want crime novels, the darker the better. I would welcome and appreciate any suggestions you might have, be it a book or an author, I would love to hear from you. Drop me a mail: daveATdavebusheDOTnet. Thank you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
And finally I had to laugh. There was a story on AOL News, that Justin Timberlake’s grandmother complained he was distracted by going out with Britney Spears. The mind boggles…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
