Well as Friday grinds ever on I'm so looking forward to the weekend. This week has been torture and has urged me on and on to get the few qualifications I need to get a better job. don't get me wrong, it's a very nice company with nice people but the systems I have to work with are complete nightmares, the "let's just do it this way and fix it later" approach has totally screwed up what was a well functioning process. A few mySQL/Java/Web development qualifications under my belt and I can go for a decent development or DBA job in a big financial company... =D
The fact that I'm so looking forward to the weekend is testament enough that I'm not enjoying ti here. I have always really enjoyed my work and have never been in a hurry to get out of the office. I know, I know, data geek but I'm happy with that. I always felt a little sorry for people who don't love their jobs, the people who work always looking forward to the weekend - Waste five days looking forward to two?! That's no way to live your life. Now I'm becoming one of them. That's a good enough reason as any other to move on. Hopefully by March I'll be in a position to do so but we'll have to see.
In the meantime, I can throw myself as much as possible into the 'non-day job' work I do, so the web development, posts the new blog (I have about 35 ideas for posts now which will take me long enough to write but will be a very firm grounding!), the techy lectures to watch and study... In fact the two latter will be very useful when it comes to finding a new job - it'll look very impressive on my CV methinks...
Anyway, better get back to the ETL work, got to transform and load that data!!! ha ha ha =] Only about two hours to go... =D
