Strangely Energetic

Posted on by

Wow… Today is strangely energetic but in a great way… I have done a lot! and crossed many items from my to-do list. I’ve received some wonderful news about work that is lined up from a UK client and I’ve also received a very enthusiastic response with regard to the presentation website that I’d finished. It would be absolutely fabulous to get this assignment in so keep your fingers crossed for me please!

I also received an email for another interview, I applied for it last week, it’s the education/job option that I wrote about a while ago. The interview will be on the 22nd this month, as they say in the UK: don’t put all your eggs in one basket… So this is just one of a few baskets that I’ve been putting my eggs in *wink*. This Thursday I’ll hopefully meet up with the manager of the City Auditorium (another one of them baskets).

Feeling a tad under the weather since yesterday: I have a serious cold so I’m drinking lots and lots of Sweet Chili tea* with slices of fresh ginger to heat up my bones. Tomorrow I’ll be visiting the hospital again, nothing serious, just a chat I need to have as part of the skin treatment which is going extremely well. Still have to prepare some papers for this though and send one more email to another UK client to discuss their design.

So I’m off again, to enjoy the energy and getting things done effortlessly, I love days like this!

Step One And A Half

Posted on by

I was disappointed yesterday and slightly down in a way because I had high expectations about this study and its arrangements and I feel that the responsible organisation hasn’t been clear about things at all. Yesterday some facts were revealed that -to me- made it all look less bright and wonderful and I ended up in deep thinkers mode. There are only four places available while they left the impression that there would be at least 10 to 15…

There were about 28 people in the room and about three decided not to go for it after we were given a presentation: do the maths… One fact was about wages which will be extremely low during the study which will be spread over three years. Once you’ve passed your exams your pay will be slightly higher. Another fact that surfaced was the level of education which is lower than I was told so I’d need to add three more years of study.

Ever since I came home yesterday I had been thinking about what I should do and I couldn’t make up my mind. I really needed to talk to someone close today and exchange thoughts, so I rang C. at the academy. I knew he would be able to answer some of my questions that were causing doubts. By the time we hung up -an hour plus later- I was feeling positive again because of his advice and enthusiasm and full of energy to start the process.

I’ll have to write a motivational letter and might have to retake the competence test. If I’ll go through to the second round I’ll have to have a chat with the employer and take a study assessment test. It all seems pretty strict so it’s gonna be interesting to see what will happen these next couple of weeks. I’m gonna be busy… Today I also received a request from a client to design an ad to send to wholesalers and to update the website for xMas.

While I was cleaning out one of my external hard discs I ran into a smaller version of the image below. I’d forgotten about it, about taking it but it put a smile on my face and because of that I’ve decided to post the bigger version. I miss my little friend…

I miss him…
