New world

Been almost a month since my last update.
I've decided to take the job i mentioned earlier.
So far it looks like i made the right call.

Funny, isn't it:
i practically found a new job right after i arrived.

I just moved to the new house on Sunday, a troublesome journey via the tubes had to take place before i finally lay my head to rest.
I think me and my mate spent most of the day searching for new ways to get to our destination, the tubes seemed to be closed down specifically to make it harder for us :P

No pics yet, dunno if there will be any - the room is rather small, but then again i never needed much space.

Tried looking up new paintball spots here in London, and found a few forums, but haven't done anything about it yet.

The last couple of days at work were annoyingly uneventful, not having much to do, and being held up by other people before i can progress with my work.

Thou - once i start - itl be more interesting then i anticipated :)
Got some cash from HR to help me get by, written off as an advance on my paycheck.

In two weeks the real paycheck will pop-up in my account, i wonder what figure is going to be on it :)

Sadly, i cant buy tickets home yet, since what i have on my account now isn't enough to buy a ticket both ways, and pay my rent for the next two/three weeks.

Ill just have to wait till December.

I'm enjoying London so far, i still have a lot to do here, and loads of things i want to try.

Whats next ?
Time will tell.

Going well

It's probably the second (or so) time this has happened to me.
Got my first interview after arriving to my (i think) new home.
The first one went great, and i just passed the second level today.

Its - technically - a great job.
The money is good, and i would be doing something similar to what I've done so far.
I'm just not sure if i should take it. I do have a couple of other offers, but this is the first one i would be getting an 'OK, you can start tomorrow!'.

I have time until Monday.
Im not certain - and thats a bad sign, in and of itself.
I need to thing this through.

I hate being under this kind of pressure, with a decision this important.
If i do join the company - it will probably be for a longer term.
They don't want someone that is going to jump ship after a couple of weeks, and I'm not interested in a job like that - i want something stable for myself.


Mehh....
Decisions, decisions....

the countdown

Just two days left.
The calls started coming in a couple of days ago - rewriting my CV was a good idea, along with actually writing a cover letter.
Next week is going to be very intense, quite possibly very stressful.
The first couple of days is already lined up with interviews.
The camera has been purchased, and works like a charm.
Not packed yet, but going to get that done tomorrow, or as soon as tonight.
Hadn't gone to the dentist yet, didn't have the time - going to go tomorrow morning. It may be a painful experience.

A lot is going on. Some of these things may actually turn out to be fantastic, but nobody is surprised when i say i have a bit of a stage fright feeling.

Will i make it ?
Will it all work out for me ?
Only time will tell.

Again, time passed.
More and more changes coming along.
In essence - all is well.
The plan is slowly being executed, its all falling into place.
Im closing my current projects, and thou new ones are slowly popping up - i dont see any major obstacles before me.
Besides life itself - ive pretty much gotten rid of everything.
Now is a good time - there wont be a better one.

A lucky break

Im trying to wrap up my school stuff.
This requires me to catch up on my index.
I went to one of my professors to get my grade, i failed the subject to i wasn't expecting anything special.
After all i only managed to give him two of the four required reports.
Well, it seems that he decided to give me a B instead of an F for some reason :D
I didn't exactly feel like arguing my point, and i decided to go home after he put the grade on my report card :P

This one event manage to light up my entire Friday :)
Hopefully this winning streak will last :)

Insomnia

Still cant sleep.
I was actually hoping that it would be over by now.
Ive noticed that i often stay up, and go to sleep after 6 or 7 am.
I get up, get to work, do whatever im supposed to do that day, take a nap and get back to work.
My problems seem to be all but gone.
I made the first step today.

I know now what day its going to be.
The 8th of october.
Thats the day.

My little revolution has begun

As you may have noticed, the blog has moved.
Ive switched over to blogger, i think this will fit my needs best for now.
At least i dont have to build the site myself.
What does my little revolution consist of ?
Well, it begins right here, and i have no idea where its going to take me.
My website (www.meltir.com) is no longer just my playpen, i setup a site that i intend to make kind of a greeting card, where you can see my work and get in touch with me if you want to.

What else...
Since im probably going to drop some of my domains, i added redirects that point here or to my main site.
Since all of my blog posts have moved here, i added apt. redirects that point you here.
You may have come in via a link from google or wherever - sadly, those links are now dead, but you can find whatever you were searching for right here.
Comments are on, and will stay on.

Im still pondering adding a link to this site from meltir.com, in the sense of wether to keep work and play seperatly.

There are a lot of other changes coming up in my life.
What happend and whats going to happen should remain my little secret.

But trust me when i say this - this is going to be the most freaky year in my life.
