State of Me
Well, honestly, I'm still not dressed and typing this while still dripping from my shower, but.
I have passed my work exam from Tuesday (yes, the one I was supposed to do in February) with reasonably flying colours and am therefore done with corporate in-house training! So, the logical reaction to this is to volunteer to redo a training course, but they overhauled it since I took it so I bit the bullet. Either way, that one won't be a lot of work.
As I mentioned a while back, they changed the law in December, thus obligating me and my cohorts to get formal, external training, which will culminate in an actual degree and a code of ethics and an obligation to keep current etc. I have applied for this, which the company will pay for (unless I resign from my job in the next two years, which I won't) and I'm not sure it has an equivalent in English, but it's basically a low-level college degree and I hope to pass the exam sometime this year. Then I shall have yet another title, only this one will be useful in the job market.
So, yeah, if you follow me on twitter, expect more bitching about studying because this will be mostly an online degree and yeah. I don't do well at these self-study things.
Also, I'm an airhead; I know I owe people betas and I will get to those as soon as I can, hopefully today. Sorry about the delay, folks. And yes, I have two betaed fics sitting on my hard drive that I need to get around to editing; next week, when my head is back from wherever it wandered off to, I shall work on that and y'all shall get something to read. This'll make up for it, right? *looks hopeful*
ETA: We have the big sales weeks on at work, so that contributes to me having no brain. How hard is "everything is on sale!"? It's most frequently met with, "But I don't understand. What is on sale?" Everything, you fuckers! People are stupid. Except y'all. I like you.
