I know I said every week but this is me we are talking about…
In work related things:
I am doing the interviews for this role for the next week at least. I can say this side of the interview table is far more fun.
I think this is all I can mention which is either A) Interesting or B) Not company confidential
Other stuff:
Staying up until 1:30am in the morning when you have to be in work and playing a LAN game of Halo, while a good idea initally is a very bad idea that morning. And doing it twice in the same week is even worse.
Book keeping sucks and the rates accountants charge sucks even more.
How about I try do weekly updates? This is probably the only weekly update for a long time going on my previous experience in trying to do regular blogging.
Back from a week with the Army. Doing a week of training which wasn’t as sucessful as I would of liked. Really can’t say any more on that.
However I did get drug tested. Needless to say showing up just after breakfast when people had been to the bathroom is a bad time to arrive. It took a while for an encore. I am not going into any more detail then that.
Work is getting busy enough these days. Now that I’m back from my weekly trips to the French office I have my own work to catch up on. Should be interesting to see what happened over the week while I was away.
For anyone who remembers I posted about one year ago ten things I’d like to have done by now. I shall now publish the results of this, slightly late of course.
(1) Get full drivers license (Doing driving lessons now)Passed!
(2) Be well on the way to getting my PPL (Private Pilots License)Failed!
(3) Get my CCNA (Its not something you can read a few pages every night)Passed!
(4) Get into somewhere decent for CollegeFailed!
(5) Start my own business (Idea is there but I doubt customers are)Passed! (technically it was a different business I started but a business)
(6) Project Tower. If you have to ask then don’t.Failed!
(7) Project Tower Mk II. See sixFailed!
(8) Be more of an active blogger (Also includes the finishing of the draft posts sitting here)Failed! (Those drafts are still incomplete)
(9) Work for either Microsoft or Google (or both!)Failed! (Well I nearly passed, I got rejected by Google at the last stage of the hiring process. I will apply again in a year or so though when I get more commercial experience)
(10) Learn a programming languageFailed!
So yeah… not an entirely sucessful year then. Oh well maybe I’ll repost this a year later and see if much has changed.
Came back from France and going back again Wednesday. I seriously doubt many other people are here two months already filling out travel expenses forms. Yes! Note the plural!
I am working now for two months!
Also the twitter tool on the sidebar is not updating. I should really fix that. And speaking of blog related things, I tried move over to MovableType but while trying to test it out I had endless problems with the cgi part of it. So I’m sticking with Wordpress for the time being. However I am fed up with updating it so I will move to some other platform but I just haven’t decided which one yet.
I can’t stop listening to this, it is just so awesome.
I should point out everything on this blog is my own opinion and is not representative of Goa Game Services Ltd, France Telecom or the Orange Group so don’t bother to contact my employers if you don’t like whats here.
So I’ve been here at work for a week now and what can I say, its pretty awesome. Since the team I’m on is pretty new (2 weeks old) we are getting to build our own systems and trial out what is most suitable for what we have to do. Needless to say I won’t be saying much more about what I’m doing, company secrets and all that. But if I do come across anything that is newsworthy and not secret I might post it up here. Might…
A) Got a job with France Telecom (Indirectly since I work for Goa who are owned by FT but if I was to explain what Goa do to everyone who asks, I’d spend too much time explaining stuff so I just say FT)
B) Was a judge for the Blog Awards
C) Now CCNA qualified
D) Off to Scotland tomorrow
E) I’m sure there is more but i’ve forgotten since.
