My OperaVeggie-ism, Work and Projects.
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 12:00:07 PM
I'm sorry I have been rather rubbish at updating lately, although I have been away and I have also been doing a lot of training at work and so I haven't really had time to update everyone!
I successfully finished my week of vegetarianism and it really was an eye opener for sure! For now though I can't see myself becoming a veggie, although I have noticably cut down the amount of meat I eat and it's all sub-concious which is the surprising thing. I do feel a lot better for doing it too
On the work front, I started on the 5th Jan and until now have been training. The girl I am covering for maternity has now left and it's all down to me! Terri was so popular and good at her job, I have a really hard act to follow. So I guess there is a little bit of worry there. I know it's going to take time to build solid relationships and the work load is fine. But I can't help wanting to be fully up to speed!
As I may have mentioned before, my new job is very IT based. I work with the hardware server team at an investment bank. I have always been interested in techy stuff and for the past 3/4 years have wanted to do a degree/ qualification. After chatting with my manager and others, it turns out I can get training on site here and eventually have the possibility of becoming a fully qualified Unix/ Wintel Engineer - I am so happy and can't believe my luck at landing in this job!!!
Due to concentrating on work, my Girls n Gadgets has had to take a back seat but I am back on the case and very excited again. I just need to hit up my girl @Mia and get her back on the case too. It won't take much I doubt as the girl is awesome If you would like to be kept up to date on Girls n Gadgets, please follow @girlsngadgets
Finally, I'd just like to say that any UK Twitter readers, Twestival is on the 12th February - Please visit www.twestival.com for details.
Muchos Love to you all...

Sounds like a very exciting time for you and a time of great opportunity, stay in the moment and do all you can to get ahead. I'm sure it will be hard going at first but I believe you are a harder worker and will catch on much faster then even you may realize. Oh then there is the Veggie thing... I've tried that route too and although it lasted for awhile it wasn't what my body wanted at the time, but maybe at a future date I will give it another try. Well remember to keep the faith and all will turn out.
Your friend,
oregonwitter from twitter, catchy huh!
