waitress pretending I was something I wasn't. I would say I was a writer when I<br />

had written something, not when I sat in a coffee shop with my laptop open.<br />

Was that who I was to other people?<br />

An obnoxious cunt who was so obsessed by his stupid idea that would never<br />

come to anything?<br />

I had to let it go so I plonked myself down in the first available seat and started<br />

shaking hands and grinning wildly. Among others on the table were three very<br />

fresh, very smiley, arrogant fucks who proudly announced that they thought<br />

they were better than everyone else as they were lawyers who were on loan<br />

from the British office to the Warsaw office of Eversheds.<br />

“Oh did you study <strong>Polish</strong> law?” I asked.<br />

"No." <strong>The</strong>y echoed.<br />

“EU law maybe?”<br />

“No.” <strong>The</strong>y said laughing among themselves.<br />

“So what the fuck do you do then? Make coffees and photocopy stuff?”<br />
