My Blue Heaven

I Got A Job!

Actually, I got TWO job offers! Yay!! 🙂 Both Dialaphone and Adgistics offered me a job on Friday. I picked Adgistics.. I was actually hoping that they would offer me a job. So my reasons?

Well, they were in a better location in central london (right underneath Tower Bridge, London Bridge side – this was actually quite an important factor for me.. I like to work in a nice location that is central.. with shops and restaurants around – esp since I’m here to experience London), the role also involved more asp & .Net programming/development work (which is definitely better for my career), the company was more exciting and cool (being in online advertising – they provide online advertising management systems to big names like Sony, Adidas etc), the people are younger (the IT Director looks like he’s my age!!), really friendly and laidback.. and the environment seems just more fun and informal (they dress quite casual – 2 of the guys who interviewed me were wearing t-shirts). The hours are better too – they start later.. yay! Just seemed like a really awesome company to work with – I’m so suprised they offered me a job.. after only one (quite informal) interview too!! Was a very quick process! 🙂 Oh yeh, and extra bonus… they offered more pay!! I mean, how cool is that… I got the job I wanted, with better pay! This is so much better than I expected my first job here to be. Woohoo!! 😀 Will update as I start the job – I’m sure its gonna get stressful and challenging.. and I know I’m gonna have to work hard in this role, but I think this experience will be interesting, and also good for me career-wise. 🙂

So I start this Wed at 9:30am. Yay.. I’m actually looking forward to it. To meeting the rest of the company.. and yeh… doing something with my spare time. Oh yeh, and earning some money!

Anyways, time to sleep. Tonight I went to see Star Wars Ep 3. Hmm.. better than 1 and 2. Still had dodgy scripting and sometimes flakey acting. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. So depressing. *sigh* But of course, it had to be that way. *sigh* I missed seeing it with you guys in Sydney too…. I wish I could have gone to the midnight premiere with you guys.. and just shared in the enthusiam. Ppl here don’t seem to be as into it. *sigh* Ok really better go sleep, otherwise I’m gonna start wallowing in depressive thoughts again.
