What's on your plate?

[Carthrat]

It's not *my* fault, Bjorn! It's *Rez*! I have to dedicate half my day to WoW just to keep up! >_<

Speaking of which, today I'm off to a meeting about my forthcoming job. It's only 30 minutes, but it's placed in the middle of the goddamn day. >_<

[Anastasia]

Sucks harshly.

I called into work today - said it was a personal reason, but I just couldn't stomach doing my tasks today. It's reached the 'I'm going job hunting after the holidays' phase, along with 'Giving 2 weeks the SECOND I score a new job.' I'm just so sick of being in the role I am.

So I'm spending the day playing Shadow Hears 2 and RPing. Yay.

[Brian]

Woah.  Everything okay there, Dune?

[Anastasia]

Woah.  Everything okay there, Dune?

Yeah, pretty much. Just time to get a new job. I've had that job for about two years now, and I need something different.

There is also a management shakeup as well as some bullshit being rained on us by the shift before that isn't helping. Nothing truly major, but enough to be a headache, wear on my patience and make me want to get a new job. So it goes.

[Halbarad]

I can sympathize. Getting hired on = yay, but they're doing some insanity with this account that I'm not real crazy about. So it's either transfer to a new account, or really start hitting the sites for web coding jobs - which probably means relocating.

Yeah. After the grief you've gone through, I'd consider a new account first. You lived through four months of that to get on, seems a waste to leave unless you get an in city tech job. Though, didn't you say your town was saturated with that stuff?

Painting my Sailor Pluto resin figurine, trying very hard to get it to come out not looking like she has paint lines.

[baka]

Quit my job today, after less than two weeks. I just need the time for uni work, to be honest, because it's not getting done when I get home knackered at 5:30.

[Jason_Miao]

What's on my plate?  Stir fried chicken breasts with aniese, and a side of sweet peas.  A cup of commercial egg-nog for drink.

A lovely last meal before my final tomorrow, don't you think? ^_^

[StormDragon]

Finals are over. Now for the much needed two weeks of rest. I wonder what I'm getting for christmas. Now that I think back, the gifts that I really liked where the ones that I got from my brother (playstation 2, hardcover HP books.) But even though I'm not a little girl anymore, I can still remember the delight when my parents would buy me a cinderella castle, or that big pink lego mansion that my dad spent a whole day putting together.

I wonder what I'm getting this year. Since my parents don't really know what I like now, and demonstrated that fact by buying me a lamp last year instead of putting the money into a half price books gift card, I can only wait until christmas day to see. I know that I'm being a bit selfish, but I can't help it. I'm not the one for jewelry or flashy accesories. I'm more of a video game, nerdy, mp3 player geek.

 Off to my room, where Imma finish cleaning up.

[baka]

Speaking of mp3 players and geeky stuff: My current project is coming up with enough money for this.

From the looks of recently sold things on ebay, I can sell my current mp3 player for quite a reasonable amount - I just have to work out where to get the rest of it. I have a fairly decent laptop I never use that I've wanted to sell for a while, but now there's word that my dad wants it. And I can hardly ask him to pay for it... Ah well. Maybe a personal video player isn't such a good idea.

[Music-chan]

Yesterday I started putting together the christmas presant to Cy and myself, from my parents. It's an entertainment center, y'know, for our TV and gaming systems and such. >_>  It'll make the living room look a lot more organized and give us more shelf space. It's also a BITCH to put together.  And the instructions are bastards.

After I get this finished (I'm almost done), I'm going to work on the webpage and try to avoid World of Warcraft until I get it coded.

Still job hunting, and doing various tests that have been sent to me.  Ugh, my life would be more under control if only I knew exactly what I was going to do next month, and what I should focus on.

[Ranma_007]

Let's see, stuff on my plate.

Well, I'm planning on doing some uber certification work in the upcoming months. Definitely on the plate are MS exams 70-272, 70-218, A+ Core Software, A+ Core hardware. I'm taking one every Tuesday for the next 4 weeks. If I pass all of those, I'll have like 7 computer certifications. Then mid January, I have to choose to either go for the Cisco CCNA certification, or to focus on obtaining the Windows XP MCSE. Just depends on order. Then who knows. Possibly the Server+ and Security+ certification. Maybe some SQL certifications, branch out and specialize, you know.

The thing that really really sucks with these exams is that I have to pass, or I lose 125 bucks. They only reemburse the ones that I pass.

Still working at American Express, it's nice, since I got a promotion recently and the yearly raise, which is pretty cool.

Still going to online classes at University of Phoenix. They're a pain, but on the positive side, I've learned to type a 1054 word college level paper in 41 minutes. Had to ice my fingers after that one.

Still doing client work and consulting, but it's tapered off so far.

I'm eventually planning on moving out, and need to do a detailed look at my finances for the upcoming year, balance what I make with my expenses, like college.

But other than those mondo heaps of stress, life goes well.

[metroid composite]

Heard back from Relic--don't have the job.  Well this gives me a bit more direction, as it tells me to make more applications.
