Panic!

Earlier today I spilled water over my laptop. I left it 10 minutes, switched it on and it made strange fizzling sounds and died.

I then pulled out the battery, left it upside down on the lounge and read a book. I went out, came home and switched it back on and nothing! I cried...

I had a shower and calmed down, being clean tends to be a nice relaxant. I plugged it into the mains and voila, it worked!

Thank goodness, as I would not have survived living back at home with Mum and Dad without my laptop.

Yes, you read right, I am going back! I just cannot afford to live out of home while I am still recovering.

This time, I am feeling much happier about the decision. Yes I will be away from the city and my good friends, but I will be away from temptations and the friends I love will still visit me or let me stay at their places.

I have also decided a career change is in order. Helpdesks are not for me. I hate being told how to do my job by people (clients) who have no idea what they are talking about.

Unfortunately this new career change required a 4 years full time/ 8 years part time university degree, but that is something I am willing to take on.

It's about loving what you do. It's about having a real reason to get up in the morning. Doing something that makes differences to people/ communities is what I want to do. Not be a career public servant who takes emotional abuse from other career public servants!

And I know I will do this and be successful. When I put my mind to something, it generally happens.

On another random note, last night involved drinks (not too many though), and Flatmate, Swede and I skipping through the Cultural Centre Busway Station singing "I Have Confidence".

It's things like that I will miss.
