last night...a night like a bad acid flashback. i went to christmas drinks held by a brighton based organisation beloved used to work for, in a bar i used to know the owners of, in an office complex; sorry 'media centre' i used to work in. and nothing had changed at all. it was like walking back into a former life, if the people wern't the same they were duplicates. many of the people were the same of course, though mostly fatter and older and more expensively dressed (everyone appears to be in 'innovation' now, its the new 'strategy'). some people still exactly the same with a rangier more desperate look. the same small buisnessmen - small and smug like only the members of a regional chamber of commerce can be. all trying to catch each others eye in sumo, the dirtiest bar in brighton (how much effort is it to mop a floor? or provide loo seats?). it was like a bad dream. for once i am greatful for the commuter train taking me away from this hell.
though of course i am on holiday now and theres no commuting to be done till the new year.
