Highlight of the day: see right. Bugolgi (Korean beef dish) for dinner...something tells me my highlight of the day may often revolve around food.
I've done something stupid today: accidentally pressed the cold water button instead of the hot and made a cold cup of coffee in front of my boss at work (I'm brand new too...way to make a good first impression). I was so embarrassed about telling him and making him wait even longer for the machine, that I just took it away and drank a few sips until I could run to the toilet and pour it down the sink! Not sure what my other colleague thought when she saw me coming out of the toilet with an empty cup...and it's only just dawned on me now that I could've thrown the cup away in the toilet instead of carrying it back into the office! That really was a 3-minute part of my day where all my brain celles deserted me. Either she thought I'd taken my coffee in to drink on the loo or that I'd pissed in a cup at my desk and gone to pour it out!
Work wasn't much busier today. I spent two hours stuck in a room with the only colleague I don't like and listened to her tell me (for 2 hours) about her current woes, which mainly centre on her boyfriend adoring her SO much and she's worried he loves her MORE than she loves him (must be awful.) Somehow, I survived those two hours and came out the other side in need of a coffee (which turned out to be cold) and some alcohol (which I am sorting now).
The reason my day was Hurwundeki is because I went to a rather random salon cum fashion shop cum homeware shop cum cafe cum restaurant near my flat in Bethnal Green called Huruwndeki Cafe today after work (that sentence is the closest I've come to sex in months). Hurwundeki means "hair" in a dialect of Korean. Not that my day was that hairy, in fact, if anything this evening I am far less hairy than I was this morning as I had a haircut there - it only costs £9 for guys. I then got some bugolgi to takeaway. I love Korean food (I've been to Korea twice) and looking at the menu made me very tempted to go again and sample the other things they have. It's BYO booze too, so should work out really cheap. Meals were mostly under a tenner. I definitely recommend it.
