As the oldest (most senior) member of staff in my office, by at least four years, I have started to feel a little like Shaun of the Dead. Not only am I in a city full of zombies, but I have to motivate a team of young adults who have come to see this place as a sort of social club.
Admittedly, this might be due to the fact that under my leadership we talk all the time, play music, go on the internet for non-work related reasons (like blogging) take long lunch breaks and go home when I decide it's time. Also, I find I am now promising myself I won't spend every friday or saturday night in The Winchester (John Brunt VC, Paddock Wood) like those sad old gits (colourful characters).
One day, the end of the world will happen all around us, and we won't even notice... Luckily, I am a little more prepared than Shaun thanks to The Book- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_Surv ival_Guide
In other news, I saw him again today and am almost entirely convinced that Matte Black of Teratoma/Snuff Radio fame is working not far from me here in London. I even think he may have seen me, but either
a) he doesn't recognise me
b) he pretends to not recognise me
or c) he's not Matte at all
This is not a test of the emergency broadcast system, it's the real thing. I feel like I'm surrounded by zombies and I'm planning my escape (weekend).

Nevertheless, no matter your reading... you are screwed! (Of course, should you encounter any decent literary jobs before you have your jugular bitten out I would take it as a kindness if you would pass them on to this provincial peasant, I will place dark dark roses on your grave in thanks) WHAT were you thinking, moving to London? Where is your nearest sturdy structure? Where is your nearest military base (sure, soldiers are more a hindrance than a help when the night comes down, but the guns are useful!)
Canterbury was perfect, a university ON A HILL, designed by prison architects out of concrete so as to prevent student riots, a library of useful knowledge, 4 large dinner halls with tinned supplies for thousands, a large area of farmland surrounding, rigged up generators, large supplies of heavy plant and machinery, an internet and phone connection more reliable than most. It's own radio telescope... which ok, doesn't work normally when the electronics building is used due to the power drain, but boy - when the zombies come!
When you get down to it WHAT have you given up for the hope of fame fortune and monetary success? When the zombies come we will morn your loss, the recalcitrant son.
