Working

It was my first week at my new work this week for an IT consultancy firm, and it was quite enjoyable. Unfortunately this should have been my second week, for various reasons my start was delayed yet again. But once started, I got stuck right into the deep end. I got stuck into my job so quickly that most of my first day was charged against the client I’m working with.

Tonight I attended the monthly staff meeting for work, at a hotel. I have to say, staff meetings are entertaining after a few free beers! I paced myself though :-) So far I have come to the decision that the company looks like a really good place to work at.

Last weekend my friend’s who now live at Port Pirie came down, it was nice to go out with them and the rest of our old high school friends. We did not get up to much, we were going to have a big night on the alcohol, but I decided against that idea, What has the world come to??

I have actually been a little sick for the past couple of weeks. Because of the pathetic sole I am, I had to go to the doctor and get some medicine, even though I was not that sick, It was just a niggling condition. Now, I did say that I delayed starting my work for one week, well that was a good thing sickness wise as it gave me an extra week to recover.

Jackson, my puppy, is going along ok. One thing I have noticed about him is that his ears are longer than his snout, so whenever he eats or drinks he gets his ears stuck in his food / water.

Uni has been fairly tedious recently. I will be happy when it’s over. In reality I only have 3 weeks of classes left, and then no more classes, YAhhhooooo!!! Wow, I had not thought of it like that up until now.

I don’t think anything else of much excitement has happened in my life really. Cheerio I guess.

YAY, A Job

I have sort of been up to allot recently, however I don’t really feel like I have.

Work wise, I have had heaps of ups and downs. I have been doing some part time casual work, which was really fun, excluding the time when I was carrying a CISCO switch across the city and got caught in a rain storm. I think I left a really good impression at that workplace.

However, I have been waiting for a while to get some work as an IT consultant on a part time, 3 month contract. I guess the wait was a good introduction to consultancy as the client took about a month to sign the contract even though they looked keen to sign at the beginning. So, I’m now an IT consultant for the next 3 months.

However, I might be a consultant after that. I’ve been tentatively offered a job for next year, so if the terms and conditions are right, that might be what I will be doing next year and for some time to come.

I was getting a little worried about obtaining a job for next year (after I finish uni). I decided not to apply for the big four accounting firms, a decsion I was starting to regret. I was almost swaying towards the option of going interstate to Canberra to work for a federal government agency, who knows that may still happen. I sort of think leaving Adelaide would be a good thing for me in some ways.

I’ve recently been trying to fix a couple of issues that I have had clouding my life for some time, but have been unsuccessful in fixing them. I just want to close a couple of chapters in my life and move on. I’m trying to get my head around things by understanding the past and then move on, I am an over analytical person after all. But I don’t think that’s going to be possible due to various reasons. I’m just not sure how to move on otherwise. Maybee I should start by loosing the 10 KG I have put on over the past 2 weeks...

On a lighter note, My dog Jackson is falling apart. Well, to be more accurate he is loosing his puppy teeth. Since he has no K9 teeth at the moment, his grip on things has been severely diminished.

Anyhoo, I think it’s cheerio time.

Cheerio.
