Wasn't a holiday, have been on a management training course in Madrid for the last week. 38c heat non stop, free food & drink (inc. a fully stocked mini bar in my hotel room), no email access and general good vibes. Have come back tanned, chilled and with a strong desire to be more effective at my job.

Also pleasingly surprised with the amount of non dubstep tunes that are in the sample pack contest this month

My annual leave allowance would say otherwise

I'm waiting for my own measly 3 week vacation from school in august. Finishing up the summer term, knocking out one of many calculus classes to come and a history class that is a complete joke xD I don't get how anyone can get below a 90% in this class lol.

Also luckily that 3 week vaca is when I'll be the most broke in the academic timeline, right before the next disbursement of financial aid, sigh.
>_> Guess I'll just haaaaaaave to sit down for 3 weeks and work on producing :3
in anticipation of my new desktop and new daw setup, woot! Go financial aid!

was told I have to take 2 days leave this month.
I kicked and screamed and then decided to take Thursday and Friday off.
How dare they force me to take time off.

So it`ll be production, tennis, squash and cricket.
My son goes back to school on Monday so it`ll be some nice time spent playing sport and producing.
Oh, I`m sanding down 7 very large double windows at home.
Add that to my list of things I`m doing.

Work wise I`m just starting a design on a spinning chuck for forming cones on catalytic converters.
Should keep me busy all day.

ok so It turns out I don`t have to worry about designing today.
Now I`m bored.

Anyone ever thought about ditching the office and going back to uni or retraining? My job is so unfulfilling that I honestly feel depressed about being here each day.

The place is run by greedy, fat fuckers and Im not sure I can be associated with it anymore. To put it in perspective: Last year my company made 300 people in its construction department redundant. The same year the director of Construction was paid an £85000 bonus for "achieveing and exceeding targets", a £16000 "goodwill payment" (what the fuck does that even mean????) and a £200000 salary. The fat tnuc doesnt even deserve a tenth of that...............

So what do you think? Am I too old to change careers at 30? I was thinking about teacher training, with a view to becoming a music tech tutor.

There isn't a day goes past I don't consider joining the army tbh. Officer training, already got a degree, could enter as a logistics officer and get something retarded like £70k starting, plus free room & board etc etc.

But that would only be an option if all else failed, like I had a personal life collapse or lost my job etc etc.

I went back last year.
I`m doing correspondence courses.
Physics n what not.

It`s hard having a family, full time job and studying.
Rewarding but tough.
I had to take loads less subjects though as I took on too many and just saw my ass.

Practice the backstroke whenever I can.
