If someone had asked me 20 years ago, what I would be doing on the 3rd of November, 2008, I can't think what I would have said.
But 15 years ago, I'm pretty sure I would have said I would be a star of the stage.
10 years ago I would have been a touch more realistic and would have said working for the United Nations as an environmental development officer in Sri Lanka.
Five years ago I would have said I would be now working in my first international posting for the New Zealand Foreign Affairs and Trade. Maybe somewhere in South America.
One year ago I would have said I would have just started my intensive Japanese language studies for my Masters research.
And here I am. The third day into November - 2008 and I'm sitting by myself in a crappy 1980's office building, waiting for an engineer to come out to fix the alarm system at 7pm on a Monday night. Not only is it dark outside, but it is raining. And I'm meant to be sitting in a Covent Garden theatre right now watching a play.
I can't see much light on this dark Monday night.
