Guess who's back? Back again....
Well, this is my first update in quite a while. I'll hopefully be updating a bit more since my life is heading back towards normality, though I suspect only for a brief period of time, as I'm pretty sure college work is just around the corner. While I have some time, I'll give a quick recap of what I've been doing the last 3 months.

As some of you may have noticed, or not have noticed, I've been pretty much absent from the boards since about January really. I've been on in bursts, but since the summer, I think I've posted 3 times. If even. I was working 40+ hours a week up until the middle of August with Dell. That as nasty. Over a fortnight, I worked 115 hours. That was incredibly nasty. With college coming back into play, I gladly gave up that job and managed to get the cushiest job in the world, with Meteor. I just talk to people (in person, not on the phone) all day and sell them phones if they need them. The money is good (upon getting targets, I come out with around ?1100 a month for 20 hours a week). I also managed to get a great phone, the Sony Ericsson 750i. I may throw some pictures up here from time to time, depending of whether they are actually any good.

I also just reached my 2 year anniversary with my girlfriend, Michelle, so that was some bit of good news to go with the bad, bad Dell. Never get a job with them unless it's a degree job by the way. Hours are horrible and you're actually expected to do them.

College is back again as well. Some nasty maths this year, but I should be okay once I get my head back around Object principles. The whole Operating Systems and Networking modules seem okay, as I have work experience with them. Thankfully, there's no major programming this semester apart from some basic Java.

Anyways, I better get going. Take care.

welcome back Lad.

Trust me, the working world only gets WORSE once you're out of school.

Soon, Lad, you'll be out earning scads of cash on big fat software projects.

Now...that reminds me..I need to find some big fat software projects...

Good to see you back around. Hopefully this new job will allow more free time (*cough*).

I work with Dell products, and frequently call into tech support and customer service. I have to say, Dell is not that great of a company. It's good you got out of there. Welcome back!!

Great Lad, now you've started the "Dell Sucks" controversy :0)

"You're career will freeze before you reach the first promotion!"

"Well then I guess I'll see you in DELL!"

Better than Hell though, but not quite as good as Heck.
