The Sphere Effect

After working with Dimension Data for the last six weeks, I have discovered that I’m not really cut out for support. I absolutely love, love, love the people I’ve been working with, but the actual job is not me at all. I always wanted to be in projects and implementation, and thought I’d give support a go, but it’s very not me.

I have been offered a contract with Accenture, one of the biggest (if not the biggest) IT consulting companies in the world. I’m not 100% sure what I will be doing, but it will be in operations and Projects, so I’m sure this will be more to my liking. It’s a 3 month rolling contract, and I think it will involve some international travel. I’ll let you know more when I know more. I start on Monday 25th July. Excitement plus!!!

These are the people I have been working with at Dimension Data. Bye guys, I’ll miss you

Above we have Matt, Martin, Ian, Me, Clive, Jason and Bryan. We are missing Niall, Perry and another Jason.

To anyone who is concerned after the horrific events of yesterday, I am okay. I am working outside of London and was on an overland rail service when the bombs exploded in central London.

To everyone who contacted me yesterday to see if I was okay, thank you so much. It is a really good feeling to know that people think and care about me, and it helped a lot in a day that was otherwise filled with a lot of anxiety and stress.

Bless you all.

Finally moved into a new house over the weekend! HOORAY!

It’s in Putney and it’s half way between East Putney Tube station, and the overland Railway. It now only takes me around 50 minutes to get to and from work, which is an enormous relief.

I have moved in with some pretty cool people as well. There are two friends, Amber and Leesa who are both about 29yo. They are mad, just like me, and I know we will get on just fine. There’s also Leesa’s brother and his girlfriend Georgie who is a real sweetheart. The other person is a guy called Sam, but I’ve barely spoken to him yet and I’m not sure what he’s like.

I think I’m going to have a great time, but I do miss everyone from the Hostel. We are all pretty determined that we are going to stay in touch, and I was back at the hostel last night for a few drinks. I’d only been gone for two days, and it was such a relief to see everyone again. I am a very sad girl
