meet my new flatmate

October 21, 2011

Yeah okay, I know what you’re all thinking. You’re thinking that my new flatmate looks just like my old flatmate, but the truth is that he is different. Because today my new flatmate landed a new client for his Restaurant English classes and next week he finds out if he’ll get two new intensive English courses (Nov-Feb) at a language school here.

Aside from that he has been helping me out with Sevilla Tapas Tours when I am either double-booked or unavailable, and carrying on with his other private English classes. So if it all comes to pass, by next month this new flatmate of mine will actually be making a fairly comfortable living, at least enough to put in his share for house stuff, which will also make my life a lot less stressful.

But aside from that… well, just look at him. Since getting some very nice “reviews” for his tapas tours, and becoming more involved with the restaurant stuff, Nog has had a real boost in self esteem and that’s great to see. Sometimes it just takes one or two things to go right for a change to make all the difference in one’s outlook. After a couple of disappointments earlier in the week, the good news about Luna yesterday and today’s new job prospects have renewed both our spirits and it’s great to look forward and see good times ahead as flatmates and friends. Yay!

    Conversation earlier this afternoon…

    Me: So good thing I didn’t throw you out last August, eh?
    Him: Well, I knew you didn’t really want to.

    There was only one comment when I posted mine, only to find a few more had arrived meanwhile, rendering mine not quite making sense … I’m not sure this one does, either!!

      Well who knows? Perhaps the New Nog™ will even start answering emails and remembering birthdays!

        That would certainly be indicative that the New Nog might be here to stay!

    Yay! I’m glad things are looking up for Nog, and that things are becoming less stressful for you both.
