i've been worrying for a few weeks cause i know one of the teams i may have joined was responsible for MI and reporting for the leadership team/directors and i def don't fancy that one little bit.
*** Good news: the operations MI/reporting team decided they don't need any more full-time staff.
*** Good news: I'm joining the IT Access Governance team on Monday. One of the teams i did fancy joining - but if i had a choice i'd stay with problem management
*** Bad news : MI/reporting decided they need someone 5 days a month and specifically requested me, so I'm joining them too.
*** Bad news : I have to train for two jobs. It's a funny old game.
but on a plus side i seem to have gained a few more WATCHers, which is mega-ace and good for my mental health - thanks to everyone who's supported/FAVed/WATCHed me recently.
the exam passed without too much mental torture, against all preconception. amazingly i revised the right areas and was able to answer appropriately. now i have no studies until february when i will undertake The Art of English - my final course.
managed to get out with the new batteries, CF card and new skills. between clouds i think i've got some improving deviations - i hope i have. couple of schoolboy errors but i learn through pain ...
i also discovered the date when i leave the job i love, 30 october (whic coincides with the Norwich beer festival). still don't know what i'm doing next though there is another job for me. i thought knowing the date would give me some closure but i feel worse about it ... hey ho
however, though i need less cheering up i thought i'd feature a few more wonderful deviations that have brought a little sunshine during this dreary week ...
***** my batteries died at the weekend (both at the same time), and I have no deviations until their replacements arrive. hence i decided to do a feature of some of the deviants that have made me smile over the past couple of weeks. hope you like them
I've just found out that my whole department is closing in 2010, and upping sticks to York. I'm so gutted cause I love love love working as a Problem Analyst - it's like solving puzzles and getting paid for it.
I've been offered a Talent Move cause I've been so good, but it's a stat-monkey role so I'm a little worried I might go all "Falling Down" later.
I've got an exam in two weeks too, concentration is tough enough. But on a plus-side there are plenty of folk worse off than chillipope right now so I'll pull my boots up and get on getting on.
Expect loads of dark-side deviations for a few weeks.
I'm very chuffed today, has included one of my squares (common blue in the dunes) in the News today; [link] and I do so love to be featured alongside talented deviators.
It's funny that happened because yesterday I was thinking about what I love to photograph most, and what deviants FAV the most for me. I'm sure I photograph cause I love it so much, but I add eviations fro everything I think others would enjoy.
Here is my top few FAVed deviations - and my personal FAVs are #1, #3 and #8 so there is parity;
