If you’re reading this drivel, I’m fairly certain that you know me. At least enough to know my name. If you don’t, I’m a charming little Norwegian with a series of complexes, but that’s how gods go.
I’m also a brilliant computer professional and a person with a keen need of challenges. Thus I need a certain level of satisfactory about what I do like most people. Sadly my previous job, which I left on friday, provided less of this in the past two year or so. This made me somewhat, increasingly bitter to say the least.So what went wrong? I’m not sure, but at some point the challenges weren’t that challenging, the tasks were not very giving and my responsibilities was slim to none. I had some, but I felt like I was in a rut.Needless the say the situation was bad. I started to dislike my job, and used a lot of energy keeping up appearances at work. I knew that I needed to make a change at work to mend this quickly. Sadly, after looking for a while and many trials, I had to face facts. I needed to change scenes, which meant I was searching for jobs.While doing the whole search I discovered something frightening; I was young (relative term) and hadn’t gone to college. Apparently, HR (which I presume runs IT these days) doesn’t take you seriously if you don’t have a degree. Doesn’t matter which degree, I could just as well had one in botany for all they cared. I also know that if I were older, I would get loads of offer despite my lack of a education.Proper BS I thought, I don’t want a entry-level phone human answering-machine gig at Wankers Inc. because I don’t have a bachelors. If that’s it, I’ll take my bloody bachelors I thought. So here I am, preparing for college at the ripe age of 23, in the (awesome) field of “Information Security”. A computer programming course/program/thing-ama-jig focusing on IT Security.I hope this change gives me more time to do the things I..well forgot these last couple of years because of my focus on work. These include photography, writing, design, those pretty things that smell nice…you know…starts with a “w”. Women, thats the one! Something I really hope I’ll be devoting some time to, is this site. I miss the times were I could just play around with the dials and learn by doing. In the near future (I hope) when I recoup some of my energy (read: lazy) I WILL do that redesign. Until then, while I right now and then, the blue stays!
