Sorry I've been a virtual non entity guys, but needless to say I've been real busy with my new job, as they want to get me up to scratch on the WA energy market and other such backgrounding, so I've had to spend most of my free time reading such bestselling hits as "Power Systems Familiarisation for Non-technical Professionals". They've also got me helping on what seems like a pretty important electricity pricing model, which means I also have to read the endless documentation on it.
My work email is jason.hoon@synergyenergy.com.au if anyone wants to email me at work, send me an email if you want to say hi, and/or be added to my address book.
EDIT:
Crazy pics from the Moscow Subway. Russia - what a country

Happy Birthday buddy ;)
Happy Second Blogday!
Today is the two year anniversary of this waste of time I call a blog :P Hopefully I'll be able to update it abit more in the future. Things are on the way up after the 4 month frustration I've been enduring. Things have changed a lot since this first inaugural
post . Over the past two years (can you believe it?!) that I've had this blog , I've passed some units,
failed some units, graduated, gotten my first real job,
quit my first real job (resigned today), and through a set of perfect coincidences and timing, about to embark on my second new job at Synergy (yes that job), against all odds. I'll have to ring them first thing monday morning, but until then it's time to celebrate!
Today is a great day my friends. 2 Birthdays and a new job, a weekend of such joy only comes around like once every couple of years. I am talking about, of course, a perfect reason fro some drunken debauchery. Have a good weekend everyone!
(Full story later).
Life is a Cabaret
Sorry for the lack of updates. I may be going through the most interesting yet simultaneously boring period of my life I have ever experienced. I'm sure you're scratching your head and wondering how that works. Its all about work really, which is a very boring topic to everyone but myself. I've run through a lot of hoops for this application with Synergy culminating in a psychometric assessment I drove all the way to West Perth at 8 o'clock on a Saturday morning for, knowing my chances of actually landing the job are about equal to a snowman's chance in
hell. Progress at BD has stalled as well, as a meeting to discuss their "concerns about the direction and progress" about my training resulted in me tellign them everything that I had a problem with,them getting angry and telling me that unless I show them that I "whole heartedly believe in the values of the company" they wouldn't progress with my training any further. These values being small, but opposite beliefs of the extent of what constitutes good customer service and what constitutes being pushy and annoying. Which is apparently a real pity because apparently they've already planned out my career path, which actually, from the tantalizing glimpses they've given me, actually doesn't really involve the retail front and is more into the corporate sector of BD. To summarise, essentially
"toe the company line and we'll get you out of here, if you don't like it you can leave, and by the way the arbiter of whether you've shown if you believe in these values or not is the one person in the store you don't get along with".
So I'm no better off than I was before. Hence the lack of updates. Everything and nothing has really changed, and I want to give some kind of closure when I tell a tale. One good thing though. It looks like I'm the first person to actually oppose Emma on
anything (as opposed to being terrified of her like everyone else), and I think deep down she's now got a respect for me that wasn't really there before, amid the seething layers of hatred and malice. The one problem everyone mistakes with asians is that we're all automatically assumed to be quiet people that are too afraid to voice their opinions at all. Asians 1, White people 0.
