Oops...urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:podrick:5816 years of failing LJ2009-07-16T18:30:03Z2009-07-16T18:30:03ZThere, now I have finally posted something!urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:podrick:281Jumping in2003-01-26T22:36:38Z2003-01-26T22:36:38ZWell I’ve had this account for a while without ever getting very close to posting on it before. Considering the person who gave it to me, I have thought about posting though. Thought it would be safer to say I made an effort at least. :)<br /><br />The name is Padraig and I am Irish. I came closest to posting at New Years actually. An ideal time I thought. I could even whinge about my failed attempts to find a new job. After looking around for months I hadn’t got very far.<br /><br />But time was against me. And a week or so later I was been interviewed which led to, before I knew it, been offered an interesting opportunity in an airport. So there went my chance to complain. Always good for a laugh.<br /><br />But of course I was delighted to find a job, so I have still something half interesting to say. Might actually use some of the Maths knowledge I learnt in college.<br /><br />After a week in, I can’t say everything went perfectly. The people themselves seem very nice at least. But I have to travel miles to get there through brutal traffic. This might be hard to believe, but I am not at my most patient in a bus for over a hour. :) So I can look forward to searching for a new place to live. OTOH I have been thinking of leaving my current abode for a while so I’m not very unhappy. I just have to put up with been exhausted by all the travelling in the meantime.<br /><br />Not sure what to make of my actual job so far. I am to work in the airports strategic department analysing data. If you like playing with numbers you might like it…for everyone else it could be nightmarish.<br /><br />But it is the kind of thing I am good at. I have spent a week trying to grasp what they are doing. I am seriously worried about how much help I can be, but its impossible to say much after one week.<br /><br />And that’s my initial thoughts.<br /><br />Hmm…that wasn’t that difficult. :)
