R & R? Not quite...

After an intensive month of studying, exams, and general hair-tearing stress, I am now ready for WORK stress. Next Monday, I'll attend a week of in-house training before being packed off and sent to my first client. Whee.

Note to confused reader:

My employment is composed of periods split between training for a qualification, and of course, working. I've just finished a period of studying, now I'm shifting towards one on working.

Oh yes, studies. Didn't do as well as I'd hoped. Didn't do as badly as I had feared either, so silver lining behind the clouds and all that... basically, my dreams of staying top dog were shattered as I found myself stuck in the 2nd and 3rd quartiles in the last two papers. I just barely scraped through the 3rd quartile in the latter paper... if I had hit the 4th, I'd be seeing my manager very soon next week to "discuss my future and progress" (or lack of it)... so, I'm REALLY relieved about that.

Argh, I REALLY want to be in the first quartile... or FIRST! How do these clever bastards do it??? Looks like I won't be able to stay away from all that study material over the next five weeks as I had planned...

Anyway, looking forward to some much-needed retail therapy tomorrow. That Motorola Razr V3 looks yummier every time I look at it. Can I resist the lure of the Razr? After all, I DO need a new calling plan... hmm.... hmm...
