So, why am I moving London?
I have good friends over there. Despite my work being mediocre; my coworkers are amazing people. Fun to hang around and a delight to work with. So why leave? It is undoubtedly a small part due to my career choice. If I were to be doing SharePoint development for the rest of my future. I would want my pay doubled at the very least. That is the only way I can be satisfied doing the work. That's no reason to move to London though. I can always fight to move onto a different project. I can always work for a different company. I don't know why I keep moving. I've hated traveling since I was a child. I've been to around 11 schools in my lifetime (not counting gifted and language schools). I hated moving. Whenever things were stable in my life and I hit my groove. I'd have to move again. I'd move from top of my class to the bottom again. I'd get back into fights and spend lunches alone.

So I hate travelling. Kinda stupid isn't it? If I had to say anything is that I need to take control of my life. I need to have some sort of control over what I do. I moved back with my folks briefly and that is the furthest thing from control. I'm alone in London and I'm back to doing everything on my own. I would love to have moved to other locations. I have heavily considered San Francisco. I wouldn't mind working for another startup there. Hang out with Salman. As much as I like hanging around Pritesh and Ian; Seattle is definitely not the city for me. That city looks and feels dead. I would tolerate it if I was younger with them. But everyone's getting older now and getting on with their own lives in that town.
So here I am in London. Not sure what to expect. Not sure what to look forward to. It's weird walking around London. It's a mix of a new city with the odd piece of nostalgia jumping out at you. Whenever it happens there's a bit of a weird feeling in my head and my smells. The mall in Canary Wharf is completely new to me. But when I saw the Boots logo. I get a mental high. It's one of the weirdest things.
