I got myself a job finally and it’s turned out quite nice. The company is sort of small and deals with software consulting, my role being support. The trip to work is about as long as I had feared but hasn’t turned out to be the nightmare I had imagined. Having an hour each way back would be nice though.
How incredbile is it that I’m yet to meet the company dick-head? Everyone seems so friendly while being focused focused on the job and they don’t micromanage at all, which I love. I don’t know what will come of the fact that they’re all a bunch of piss-pots though. The company products are varied and I will post about them another time.
My internet connection has returned to normal (after harrassing AAPT) and I’m resubbed to WoW but I’ve barely had a moment in the past two weeks to even log on because last weekend I went and did a course with Learn to Trade so that I can trade on the foreign exchange. I’m not really trading at the moment, just practising on a demo account for when I feel confident enough to use my real money. I’m doing this to hopefully free myself from the shackles of regular Sydney life, namely so that I can accelerate any plans andbreak the shackles of slavery I am forced to endure.
Oui is pining for WoW too, reducing himself to logging into my account because he misses it so much. He is really miserable because of his job so I told him that if he really hates it so much just quit and find something else. He’d rather find something else and then quit though.
We’re planning to go to Melbourne and hang with guildies and friends for Blizzcon and are booking the tickets tonight courtesy of Oui’s recalcitrance to spending money. I’m really looking forward to it especially as it’s been years since we’ve seen some of them (the others we’ve never actually met). It will actually be Oui’s birthday while we’re down there and since we already bought a Wii that has killed my idea for what to get him. I’ll have to be creative.
Its good to hear your update. One thing that worries me is the possibly recurring theme that you love your work and Oui doesn’t. I can’t say I blame him for wanting to have another job before quitting – I wouldn’t have the balls to do that either.
We are pretty excited that you are coming down here too. I am praying that the streaming quality will be good enough to make the Blizzcon sessions watchable, otherwise it will ruin the slumber party a little. I think Ash is excited also. We have a few folks who might pop in also – Angela (Staarry) and Fraser (Wondersoft). You may not know them – especially Fraser. He has a quite a filthy sense of humour.
As for Oui’s birthday – a cupcake or two should sort him out.
Congrats on the job, sir!
