luckykaaSo I seem to be being sent to Bristol for an indeterminate time.
Bristol, I don't have a huge problem with. I like Bristol!
What is a problem is the indeterminate time aspect. I didn't get a lot of notice in the first place. So, it seems that hotels are being booked for 3 weeks in advance. Apparently then I'm going to be there for 3 weeks. At least. Or maybe less.
This means I'm paying for accommodation that I'm not using. Now, it's 80 quid a week, which is less than half the price of a hotel, and I need to give 8 days notice, so I'm paying for next week whether I'm there or not. If I'm only going to be spending odd weeks in Bristol it makes sense to pay rent whether I'm there or not. If I'm going to be spending more time here than there I'm less sure. If I'm going to be spending 3 weeks away then I'm not sure if I should leave or not.
WGC is appalling for guest houses and cheap hotels. Could, if I need to stay with crazy person since she runs the place as a B&B (minus the B) if she doesn't have a full timer.
Still, I at least have the chance to see what's going on there, catching up with friends, and charging food to the company.
