First off I’d like to apologise for the lack of posts recently, I got sucked in to World of Warcraft for a bit there but the novelty is beginning to wear off. It does tend to get very samey after a while. My subscription lapses next Tuesday and I don’t know if I’ll be continuing it (read: probably not). Its not that its a bad game but I’ve found that MMO’s can only hold my attention for so long before I move on to something else.
This is going to be a bit of an introspective post I’m afraid but I have to get this out of my system. Its time for me to get a job, The Sprog has started going to nursery one morning a week and loves it so I feel like I’ll be able to leave him more often. Its funny really, we get to nursery and I bid him farewell at the door and he’s like “Yeah, OK, bye dad,” over his shoulder. If he was a teenager it would be a “Whatever” moment. My wee boy is growing up so fast, and its time I did the same.
I need to get a job. I’ve had a couple of interviews, the most promising being for the post of online reporter/web journalist for the company that publishes our local paper. I was very excited about this one but didn’t get it in the end. I did appreciate the fact that the Online Editor phoned me personally instead of sending a form letter. Apparently I was beaten by someone with qualifications in journalism, which is fair enough.
So I now have a choice, either I go all out to get some journalism qualifications or I get a soul destroying job that I can’t stand just to make ends meet. It would be fair to say that things are tight at the moment and me going back into full time education will only make them tighter. I really don’t want to get a job that I’m not going to enjoy. I’ve been there and done that, I would much rather get a part-time job and study towards getting some journalism qualifications.
after 15 years of trying to figure out what I want to do with my life I reckon I’ve finally figured it out and I’m going to go for it. I’ll be writing about my progress here of course and you may have noticed that the begging bowl has reverted to requests for money towards journalism course fees (please give generously 
)
I think thats enough introspection for the moment. Laters.
