The saga continues...

[hils]

Found out this morning that I've got a permanent job at the place I'm working at at the moment. Was filled with a sense of doom as I saw my career as a civil servant mapped out before me. Not only that but I applied for two jobs, the one I got and one at the level above. Two of the most incompetant people I know got the higher jobs, to the disbelief of pretty much everyone in the building. It made me realise that I really can't stay for much longer. Clearly promotion is in no way based on merit, or even length of service.

I've pretty much decided to go for this job in London if they offer it to me. Yes, it'll be a struggle in the beginning but I might never get an opportunity like this again and I need to start somewhere. Hopefully I should be able to work my way up fairly quickly. Not like the place at the moment where I will have to work at least another 2 years before I'm elegible for promotion to the next level, which still only pays as much as the London job.

Remind me never to stay up til 1am updating my website on a weekday. I've barely been able to keep my eyes open today.

On a whim I bought the first Anita Blake book, thinking it would be a Buffy-like thing (didn't realise it was made before Buffy but hey). It's actually not a bad read. Nice and simple after Catch-22
