My sincere apologies for taking a short break (seeing as I did promise you guys some dedication) but I have had my fingers in quite a few different pies recently....
First up---- I got a new job!
It took me a while to get it, but now the effort has paid off in a fantastic job oportunity. Massive pay rise, top quality pension scheme, full private healthcare, company phone, computer, and PDA, and a company car (when I get my licence).
I am the member of a small team which controls the manufacture quality of paving bricks and slabs. Its not glamorous, however, it does involve a lot of qualifications, and outstanding physical and mental attributes are needed to succed. I get to manage my own team of workers, and heres the ironic part, who do the same job what I just left!
Anyway, I am super happy, and the position has almost guaranteed security- because it is a brand new £8.5M lab, and there are only two people who are (managerially) above me, and it has been secured for 30 years.
Too good to be true? I hope not.....
Secondly--- I am getting my own place!
Based in kent, only a couple of miles from where I am now, and I move out at christmas. B-R-O-A-D-B-A-N-D HOOOOOOOOO!!!!
So, needless to say, my door will always be open to wipeoutzone members who have beer and a spare joypad.... mi casa es tu casa!
and thirdly----- I ACED my car theory test!
thats right, I couldnt believe it myself, but I scored a perfect 35/35 !! Its the second time I took the test, the first attempt was when i was 17 and I passed that one, but I quit learning how to drive after failing the test with a "dangerous use of handbrake" comment, and the certificate is only valid for 2 years. Now I am 21, and hopefully a lot calmer and wiser, I have to get myself a car (and a licence to get my company car) My driving has way improved, and I should be taking the proper test soon.
So, I have been a busy little thruster over the past few weeks, but I will still find time to visit.... perhaps I will have to visit with the PDA..... mmmmm, handheld wipeoutzone.....
seya soon..
