Working life

Warren street: Fairly busy this afternoon, not much going on really but I have started to wonder to myself what everyone might do for a living. There are some obvious characters to start with. One girl is sitting frantically reading over a script, one of these actor types, I imagine she works in a Starbucks or perhaps one of these natural food shops, I have not yet met an actor in London that actually makes money from acting!  The man opposite is smartly dressed but wearing jeans. Quite possibly a graphic designer. 

Kings cross: A dazed looking man with fairly long grey curly hair gets on. I'm thinking gardner or perhaps he is a postman.  I hope he is more with it when is on his rounds. He looks reasonably trustworthy though. He might be one of the few to actually ring the bell and attempt to deliver your parcel rather than just post a 'sorry i missed you' card in the postbox.

The woman opposite him is obviously a hairdresser. She has the most ridiculous style I've seen, you'd think they would go for something that other people might like... the woman next to her however is smartly dressed with normal hair but looks vicious. Possibly a teacher, although I can't decide which subject she would teach.  Actually I think she might be a head teacher.  I doubt she is popular.  I wonder if she cares though.  Do these people really have feelings?  I don't think so.   

A small man just got on. He has a very round head and looks very untrustworthy. I can't really imagine him in any job but I am sure he has one, unlike the woman next to him who has obviously been out of work for a while, only by her own choice though.  I think she may have once worked in a bakery although not in London. She will have been full of all the gossip and would regularly talk about the weather, as we all do in the UK when there is nothing else to say.  I can just imagine her sneezing into her hands, wiping them on her apron and then serving up some yummy cakes. It's brought back a memory of dodgy goings on with the food in a certain halls of residence that I once worked in.  Hygiene is over-rated anyway, its just a task for those with a lack of understanding of how the immune system really works. 

Ah now this woman, with a tonne of make up, fake tanned, about 50 something with a nice suit on. She is someone's PA.  Efficient and dedicated to her work, she no doubt is good at what she does.  She looks fierce though, you wouldn't mess with her.  Attractive though, I bet there is a flirtatious relationship with the boss but I'm sure nothing has happened between them, she might not be married, but is he?
