£1billion? Sure.

Ha, so I get these job agency emails on a daily/weekly basis, and I have to say, this one caught my eye.

I mean, who doesn’t want to get paid £1billion per year for a PA job?

Sadly, I have no PA experience. It’s too bad, I would’ve liked to be a billionaire after one year as a PA aged 21, haha. I’m pretty sure I could cough up 1p to make my billion ;)


In other news, my car passed it’s MOT today with flying colours. A car MOT is basically a test to see whether it’s road worthy. Every car must take it each year, and it costs around £50. If your car doesn’t pass, you have to spend money on whatever needs doing up and then on a retest to make sure it’s road worthy. I am so very glad that it passed because that’s just £50 out my pocket for the year, when it could’ve been worse. Considering the amount of money I’ve had to spend on all sorts of medication in recent months, and other things, my account balance isn’t looking too great :(

I am worried. Cutting a long story short, I didn’t do 3/4 A Levels in college like most do. See I actually took hard subjects :P I didn’t take soft ones like sociology and psychology. I took ICT and graphics. I was pretty depressed towards the end of my first year, so I dropped my two graphic subjects so I could concentrate on my ICT (which I felt I was going to have a career in, lol) and on Photography which I really enjoyed. Therefore I only have 2 ‘AS’ Levels, and 2 A Levels. Most who have gone to college have 3/4 A Levels.
If I ever wanted to go back to University at some point in my life, I’d need more ‘points’, generated by the grades I have. A Levels are worth more than AS Levels, so my choices of University would be severely limited..and I don’t ‘do’ limited :P

So I have been thinking lately it might be worth going to a local college and seeing if I can complete the second year of my Graphic Art A Level. Now, when I was in college I had no clue what Photoshop was, and let’s just say…I sucked at it. But I think I’ve improved a lot in that area in the past three years, so I think I could give it a pretty good shot.

Thing is, I would..just so love to leave home. Especially after today, my Sister just drives me nuts. She’s completely unstable and I’m getting tired of her treating me like she does. My Parents don’t say anything about it, because she’s… she has a short temper. A very short temper. I won’t go into details because my family are probably still googling me and they might find this entry and yell at me for ‘being horrible to your sister’ online. Heh.

I was poorly last week because I forgot to take one of my tablets on wednesday, and the results of that carried on until Saturday evening. I did a lot of housework yesterday and I felt exhausted after. I had stopped taking another type of medication on wednesday (I didn’t forget to) because I was feeling a bit..stronger. But, apparently not. I need to take them for a while longer. My Mum has voiced her concerns about why someone my age with a healthy diet is suffering in two of the ways that I have been in recent months, and I have to agree with her. So, I shall be visiting my Doctor soon..ish. Not the doctor I’ve been seeing about it, *my* doctor, who has known me since birth ^_^

Therefore, I have been thinking it might be worthwhile finding a job part time while whatever is wrong with me gets figured out, maybe my acne treatment will end at some point and I can feel better about my appearance, and I can figure out whether I can complete one of my A Levels within the next year. I figure it should be worth it.
I sadly don’t have a large enough ‘artistic’ portfolio for the HNC I wanted to go for, so that’s out the window. Grr.

It is important however, that I don’t stress myself out with any of this :p

    We don’t have MOTs in Ontario. That’s a very interesting concept, and one that I think Ontario should emulate. After you’ve passed your G2 road test to get your full driver’s licence, you’re basically done with the government in that area. This would help keep drivers responsible, improve environmental standards, etc.

    /me should poke around to see why we don’t already have one….

    As for going back to college . . . I think it’d be a good experience, and I wish you the best of luck. Although my family situation isn’t as intense as yours, I identify with the desire to move out and establish your own life. I enjoy the time I have alone at home during the day. It gives me a break just from the constant presence of my dad and brother.

    The £1 Billion thing seems a scam to me, however I wish you the best of luck going back to college. Hopefully it will help out on getting a job as well as moving out of the house. I’m sure you’ll do great. =P
