Contract

I got an email today with a contract attached for a graduate position in FNB. I plan to take this job for my in-service training that is necessary to complete my studies. So today I had to dust off the printer and print out the contract to sign. During this year of in-service training I have to produce a thesis applicable to my field of study. I don't know exactly what I am going to do it on but I am sure that I will be very busy this year.

When it comes to banking they still use old technology for their core systems, this technology is a programming language called COBOL. My dad knew this and always wanted me to learn it, even stating that NASA uses it. I don't know about that last part but I am going to be trained in COBOL which is a very rare skill to have for new programmers. I know that my dad would be proud with what I am doing, and that makes me excited to learn and do my best.   

Printer on the Blink

Last Friday our printer went on the blink and today Eliazar arrived with the new fusion drive that had to be ordered in. Oh it looks like a messy job, lining up the warp coils, but on good authority, that is Chief Engineer Eliazar, that we will be firing on all cylinders shortly. 

Queendom

Why is it that when I work at my desk, both Minky, shown above, and Paddington both love to sleep as close to me as possible. Sometimes they choose a spot virtually right on top of me and it is a battle to actually do any serious work, especially when Paddington gets distracted by the mouse cursor on the screen and he has to catch it. A couple of times I have looked up and seen Paddy fast asleep entangled in all the wires and cable behind the PC. Today Minky has chosen the printer as her cat perch, close enough to me and high enough to survey her queendom.
