Day 11- "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem"

This post is going to be short and brief, so if you are getting bored of my London life, spare no more misery. 

As you all know it's Easter Monday, also a bank holiday Monday but I had to go into to work. I got up early today and embraced the walk over to Greenwich rather than catching the DLR. The walk was nice, the sun made a cheeky appearance and turned its temperature up and I got a brisk waft of a sea air smell as I walked through the Thames foot tunnel.

 I actually disturbed someone filming a music video (at 8:30 in the morning) and they rudely commented as I wandered past "We will just stop filming and wait for this boy to pass"- excuse me, it's a public footpath (well tunnel).

At the office, I had to sit on the steps of the doorway and wait 45 minutes for someone to let me in; I'm not allowed a Key pass so have to be manually let in, the only other person in the office today was late. Whilst sat on the steps a Jehovah Witness approached me and gave me a leaflet on "Why I shouldn't commit suicide"- as far as I am aware, I'm not at that stage, I may have looked rough and tired sat in a doorway but I didn't think I looked that bad. But it was an interesting and uplifting read. 

One line read: "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" which I thought was very true and along with this leaflet it also had an inspiration quote on criticism, which I should take on board. (see below). 



It was just an average day at the office- I already sound like a long term office worker . But I got to go early and yes, I walked back as well; I thought to myself I better do some exercise because all I do all day is sit at a desk, move my fingers and drink an unlimited supply of coffee. 

That's all I have to say today, but to everyone going back to College/ School/ Sixth Form tomorrow, have fun and if the thought of education makes you feel that low and puts you  in a deep dark place; find a Jehovah Witness and read this leaflet.
