What is going on with me?
Not much.
I stay home and study IT.
I could say I'm changing my career, but it's only half true. I would not call career being a waiter. That was a job only for fast money. After finishing the university I never imagined that I will ever serve food and drink to people. Now I am too old for that, also never really liked the work system in a restaurant. The low payment, the annoyingly stressful rush hours, the asshole managers (with a few exceptions). So I quit!
When I got married and finished with shiplife, we moved to London and hoped to make some money. It was pretty much logical and manageable. Still, life gave us a few surprises which crashed our plans. Once up, next down. I guess most of you know how it is.
I started looking for a job in September, when one day I got a phone-call from a recruitment company. It was one I signed up maybe a year ago. They offered me an appointment for an IT course. I thought let's give it a chance. Long story short, I applied because comparing to other IT courses it cost only 1000 pounds. Which I can afford.
I must say I am really enjoying my new studies, although I know that to find a job without previous work experiences will be very hard. But right now I feel good, because I do something I enjoy and I am interested in. I got a 40 hour online video material and a 900 page book to learn until the end of November. Since I was always into technology, computers and such stuff, learning goes fast and easy. I get day by day shitload of new information into my braincells, but is goooood :) The 40 hours video sounds fun and short but trust me, it is not. Well it IS fun, but it's also serious and to go through 30 min, sometimes takes me more than an hour. However the book might sound long and hard, but it is very logic, easy to understand and interesting. Finally something what I should have done looong-long time ago. Maybe right after high school, dammit!
So that is going on right now.
Take it easy, everyone!
