Well...
It certainly seems that I wasn't wrong with my last post. I find it quite ironic that the only post here now with advertising comment-spam is the one where I complained about advertising comment-spam. Berloody Rediculous.
Anyway, If you haven't read my MSN Space you won't know I've moved house, it was MAD! So stressful and Catherine wanted everything sorted straight away, so no relaxing after lugging heavy boxes in from the van oh no!! We spent the following two weeks getting everything sorted, painting the house (we did ask the landlady first, don't worry) and moving furniture about. After that, I started looking for a job again, and again, I couldn't get one, cos I don't have the BPS accreddiatation. So there we go...
Then I finally gave up on pyschology, I'm taking the BPS Qualifying Exam in June and psychology can wait until after that. I joined a temp agency and I'm now working for the government. I'm an AO/Span 3 in the Tribunal Service in the Visit Visa section, dealing mostly with appeals for family visit clearance from Pakistan and Nigeria. It's not bad and it pays well, so I'm happy doing that for now.
I wrote to a few psychoanalysts yesterday, asking for advice on how to get to where I want to be. Afterall, I'm not going to do a PhD in clinical psychology, so jobs in the NHS are pretty limited and highly competed, fingers crossed I'll hear back sometime soon.
Also, I've not used Windows now for almost three months... hee hee!! Been using ubuntu linux, with KDE (not kubuntu, ubuntu with KDE) and once I have the time, I'm planning on playing around with linux from scratch to learn a bit more, before settling with gentoo, since LFS doesn't have a very easy update mechinism.
