Day 2 of the new job is now at an end. And I'm actually finding it all pretty enjoyable. For anyone currently unaware of this important fact, I am now working in the IT section at Anglesey County Council for the next five weeks. Anyway, the people are nice, as is the environment, and all in all it's pretty good.
To my surprise, also working temporarily in the Council is Kate, who I haven't seen much of actually this summer - before now anyway. Kate currently seems to be spending her working day processing applications to Social Services and complaining about the state of the application forms ;).
Anyway, the main plus in all of this is that I now have a purpose in life! Although I have been playing on this computer for the last seven weeks already (doesn't time fly when you're coding PHP), it seems now that I'm achieving much more, and learning new things too. At the moment I'm becoming somewhat of an expert on Approach databases, and should move onto other things tomorrow too.
On the downside however, my life has suddenly become quite mundane :(. So much so that I can pretty much tell you what I'll be doing at any point in time in the next five weeks! I get up at 7.30 in the morning (owch), arrive at work at nine, work until 5 (with a half-hour lunch break in between) and get home at sixish. I then get to watch a little TV and write emails/journal entries for a few hours before I have to go to bed. At the weekends I get to sleep (Yay!) and update my website. So I guess I'm keeping quite busy, although I do miss having the freedom of being a general slacker.
Oh, and if anyone has any ideas about what *exactly* I'm going to do for my birthday, which is looming scarily around the corner (actually the 16th of September so send me cards! And presents! :) ). Hopefully there will be alcohol involved but apart from that I don't know! Hmmmm.
Lastly hello to Rik, who has now become addicted to PHP, in some kind of vain attempt to make his site better than mine. Pah! And Rah too (but I don't know why). It won't work!!
