I want to change career fields. Wouldn't mind going into IT/cyber security...Just can't afford the pay cut at the moment.
 
What’s AoT?
The anime Attack on Titan, my current avatar is the main character Eren Jaeger. I was jsut really impressed by the superb CGI and 2D animation that has improved on the previous part of the season plus the storyline.

Anyway I am watching other shows and am planning to go over to the TV thread to see what everyone is watching now.


Otherwise what is on my mind is the sudden temperature drop, strong winds and also - snow in the mountains so some snowshoeing is in the cards this weekend maybe.

Also omicron and reprecussions on my work but I won't go any further as I try to remove stress (time to check about my booster).

I know everyone's financial position if different. However, my partner wanted to buy a new house. We spent around 6 months getting rid of any financial bills we could. Once that was over we bought a house, and I even switched jobs.

Post switching jobs, I learned that I was able to be content earning less. Mainly because of cuts we made prior to purchasing the house.

All that to say, it might be something for you to look into. Then, in time you can seriously consider the career change.
The good thing about IT, often you can work remotely majority of the time (I do...).

Thanks for the encouragement!

Of course. How could I forget. Last Anime I watched was a long time ago with my daughter. Since she’s gone I can’t watch them anymore. D.Gray-man was her favourite.
 
Somebody outside is burning something. The smoke is getting in our house. Just waiting for all the smoke detectors in the neighbourhood to go off...

I must say, this actually happened to me. When I was on the phone to a client. Trying not to express the words I felt at the time...

Going home to the Philippines is on my mind. It has been lovely visiting family in the UK but I want to go home. Missed the birth of my 4th daughter last month and she is getting so big already. How times have changed. Today I could get from the Philippines to the UK reasonably easily but I cannot get from the UK to the Philippines. They understandably just don't want people from Europe right now. It's hard living in a third world country (the UK). Hope to get back to the civilised world early next year :-(

I believe by Christmas the Philippines will pass the UK in COVID vaccinations administered. They had the infrastructure, they had the people to give the shots, they just lacked the vaccines as with most poor countries. Sure they have a larger population and take up wanes once you hit the 'anti vaccine' population but they will soon be jabbing needles faster and more often than the UK are.
What's with the thing 'anti vaccination' population, why some are afraid to have a vaccine?

Anti-vaxxers have been around for a long time. George Washington had to contend with them during the American War of Independence. Smallpox was rife. There was a very primitive form of vaccination (look it up, it was pretty horrible), and there were anti-vaxxers to go with it.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

BTW, I first came across this in one of the "Discovery of Witches" books.

Just started season three on the TV. Mrs AFB favourite show.
 
Latest I read about Djoković is that he is still under investigation.
Various dates and facts given don’t seem to be accurate. A possible fraud. We’ll see…
