Sick of my updates yet?

[woodface]

So I finally got an email from the course people this morning with all of the info that was given out yesterday and some additional files with study material. It looks interesting, they're going to teach XHTML/Dreamweaver/CSS, Javascript & DHTML, Photoshop, XML, VB.NET, ASP.NET and SQL Server. Classes would start on February 10 until June 29 (one week holiday with Easter) and then there's the internship. Of course, there are only 12 places free for the course and there's a test I got to take first. They included two files with study material. The test is on January 29 so I have about 9 days to get it all done. Drawback? Classes are from 8:30 - 16:30 and the commute is hell as it's in a really hard to reach place.

I signed up for the jobbrunch at the other company anyway as the dates don't clash and if I would get into this one, I'd pretty much be getting training in the city that I live in. Hello, nice commute!

Yes, if it wasn't for the commute, I'd be bouncing all over the place for this course. Two hours commuting twice a day is hell. I did the commuting thing at uni and that was almost half as much as this and I hated it. I guess it would just be for a few months here and they seem to be willing to pay back the travel expenses.

I've been desperately tring to catch up - you've been so busy!

Firstly, I hope the Construction Workers from Hell are done - that is an awful thing to have to live with outside your home; very stressful.

Secondly - sorry you've been jacked around so much with your job hunt {{huggles you, 'cos job-hunting SUCKS}} You must take it up with your agency - I hope someone is paying your expenses!

That course sounds AWESOME - would you have guaranteed employment at the end of it though? (I also did a four-hour round trip commute to uni and talk about being permanently KNACKERED for 4 years - good way to revise though *fond memories of my personal stereo and dodgy cassette tapes*)

Construction workers are still around, but after some more complaining, they seem to have finally moved some stuff up higher in the street so hopefully it did some good.

There's no guaranteed employment, but they have a 80% successful turnout with their courses which isn't all that bad!

Ooh, sounds promising!
And I suppose you can always get a lot of fic read during your commute. :/

That commute sounds like a real bummer. I'm grousing about a possible 45 minute one for my new potential job. Good luck!
