Plugged back into the Matrix...

[nadriel]

It's amazing how much better I'm doing now I don't feel all disconnected from life in general. Plus, as a bonus, my job is paying reasonably well- enough so I can cover costs, and start to recoup some of the damage the last year has done.

Although there's also Kingdom Hearts 2 out next week...hehe.

The job is admin (I couldn't wrangle the IT- or at least not yet), but very varied. And frankly, after over a year mostly unemployed, I don't even mind things like data entry. It's such a relief to be useful again.

It's slowed down my revision somewhat, but on the other hand, will mean I can afford to stay in my flat.

The downside is that it is temporary, and they're not sure how long I'll be there for. But it's a start.

It is a start - that's a good way to look on it. Could this open doors for you or lead to other positions? Even if it can't, at least it gives you some breathing space.

It can't, really- unless I want to throw away all my IT stuff and start on an admin career. But, as you say, a breathing space- and a damn welcome one :-)

Might be worth considering a less specialised but IT based idea anyway. The ability to use a computer well in general situations and solve specifc problems quickly is very useful. Regardless, hop it works out, and also hope that it'll turn into something vaguely permanent.

Anyway, catching up to do...

Excellent news! Even if it is only for a while, you can use it to start building up an employment history again, which is always handy. And I'm glad to hear the money's okay - always nice!

Well, I'm glad you've got the job going on, even if it's temporary. I totally understand the feeling useful again thing.

I like this positive Mike vibe... ;o)

Glad to hear things are OK with you. Must see you sometime soon!
