⇒ the first

not full work just yet, not break, not uni, let's call it 'limbo'

At least til the first 3 months are past.

first true day of career defining work. Was nerve-racking as hell. Had upset stomach all day. Seems like a nice place to work. I'm running on fear that at any moment they're going to 'let me go' because of my gross ineptitude in marketing assisting and average graphic design skills.

Started the day at 6:50AM (!!!) and caught bus at 7:30AM to Town Hall. From there I caught the express to Granville and walked back a bit. Was crazy hot but we have air-con work is climate controlled. Met everyone (?) - Jacqueline (marketing/hr), Teresa (marketing/client liason), Sheria (sp?) (secretary?) , Edward (accounts), Tim (it/tech-support), John (da boss).

I have my own desk, workstation (Mac), office chair, printer, scanner, whiteboard, draws, etc. Could be ok!

Anyhoo, i'll keep holding on...as long as i can

⇒ you've come a long way baby!

(days since break started: w16d5-->days on break: 115, days at work: 0)
days since November 10, 2006: 117

Well, this is it! It seems that I'm finally cashing in on that promise I made long ago. I've been offered a job as a Marketing Assistant with Graphic Design skills. Schweet! I happily accepted the role and now I await my start.

On the downside, I realize I'm not going to have time for anything else this semester/year. If I do continue with uni, I'm going to be going from work to uni non-stop pretty much all year and using all my free time for projects n sh!t. No more fun. No more friends. No slacking off. C'est la vie.

I'm walking on sunshine, whoaaa-oh! I'm walking on sunshine, whoaaa-oh!

⇒ is the break over?

(break: w16d4-->days on break: 116)

is my break over? I'm due back at Sydney Uni temporarily (this will be my 6th year!?!?!? of uni! in a row!!!! I've been in educational institutions since 1989! It's official, I've been institutionalized)

On job opportunities: I'd rather get knocked back than pass on a position. All the wondering 'what may have been' would kill me.
