Say Hello

Hi to Hornet, Lawman and Heinz,

Hi all ... !!

Not admitting to age - but as I'm mother to one and grandmother .. that gives you an idea! I love dogs (hence the avatar - Chelsea - a rescued Akita). I work full-time as an IT consultant (much of it from home). I enjoy walking, reading, computers & flying; although I don't fly much any longer .. it's a very expensive hobby!

^ reminds me of some genealogical research I did which revealed that my grandparents got married the day before their first child was born .... I didn't think they did that in 1909 ... !!!

You sound like someone who loves to break through barriers

..... currently hooked on Lumines on my PSP ..... !!!

We have had 3 PSPs one is an early version, the others we imported and traded on Ebay. My OH loves the gadets, but I am the one who spends hours online figurig how to tinker with them. I would love to work in IT, but I am mostly self taught, and soI do not really know what I would like to do.

[akita]

I only just got mine (off ebay) - it's a Japanese 1.5 version.

Re the IT - I'm mostly self-taught ... I started off in accounts & my first PC (at work) was an Apricot with a 7 mb hard drive which cost £4,000 ... !! After years of doing monthly accounts I escaped into IT & never regretted it ...
Now it's a lot harder, it's a lot more regulated & not so easy to get into ..

If I could decide on an area I would study and get the qualifications no problem.
My employers are currently paying for my PRINCE2 training, so at least I have the PM training for the future.

[akita]

... forgive my ignorance, but what's PRINCE2 ... ??!
