What's your latest project?

Welp, let's talk about something that ISN'T a big shit stir, shall we?

Share your latest accomplishments, or whatever it is you're working towards right now. You know, what's going on your life. School, career, family, hobbies, etc.

I've just been plugging away at work. 50 grand of student debt almost paid, which has been keeping my frivolous spending in check. In the mean time working towards specialization in my field.

I keep thinking I will go all crazy town buying useless shit and partying once I have all my money to myself again, but I'll probably just top up my savings account and open an RRSP. Woooo adulthood!




Now you.

tryin to reach a milli

You know, I do know that a million dollars is a lot of money. But out of curiosity I divided my own salary into a million, and goddamn that truly is a lot of money.

I am SO close to being debt free, I just want to win the lottery or something and write that shit off for good, RIGHT. NOW. Even 10 grand on a scratch ticket would be awesome! Although I'd prefer 50 or 75.

Ive had a bad day working on my latest project. God tends to laugh at plans.

I know this world is a game of numbers. And I tell myself daily more no's lead to more yes', but fuck if it doesn't tear your spirit out of your body some days. It's been a disastrous day for something I have put so much money, time and effort into. I haven't had time to get even an oil change on my car or go see a doctor about the fact i can't move my neck and half of my face is tingling. I'm just fed up right now. bad bad bad baddddd day. ugh.

If I had haters theyd be dancing right now. Glad I don't have substance abuse problems or I'd be one a month long bender.

Yeah, I don't really subscribe to plans too much. I mean, I've always had goals - but I tend to go with the flow if I can.

Still kind of looking for a family home with larger yards, but there's nothing quite what I want, near where I want to live.

So, still stuck with the same house. The estate prices have been off the planet for the last 24 months here in Sydney, which is fun if I'm selling but pretty murderous for buying. Seriously, some stuff I would have valued at around 1.3m, you can slap a reserve on of 1.8 an no one bats an eyelid...

Aside from that, spent about 10 months moving a lot of my assets into a variety of sources so there's not all the eggs in the once basket, so to speak. Mostly due to the above insanity.

1. Finding a job.

2. Learning Spanish.

3. Running 10+ miles a week consistently.

Same here haha. That being said, my latest project is a pretty long process. It's a career, not a job. It'll be about a year when it's all finished, and even though the end result is far down the line, I'm prepared for the arduous process. Determination, perseverance, and patience are values that I'll be holding myself to during this process and beyond. I would love to share here but it's definitely not the right medium for what I'm going into lol.

I wish others great success in their avenues/projects

^^^ Good luck! Although I don't really believe in luck, per se. What's a better saying to wish someone well on a journey of hard work? Lol.


Lilith re: eggs not all in one basket. That's what I'd like to do with my education. Although now I don't even know if I want to pursue a masters degree, I am so sick of the courses I'm taking even now. However, if I do pursue something outside of my field, I will likely have a much more keen interest in the whole school process again.

Trying to learn Blender. Not going well. Pretty sure you need to be some kind of savant to use this shit

a carl cox-style hard techno mix

I don't even know. Totally slacking this quarter at school, and since I am over the half way mark I need to talk to an advisor or something.

Finding a new publisher... Though I haven't really started because I am still contractually tied to my previous publisher even though we haven't talked in like 2 years nor provided any work for them so I need to end that shit.

Keep working on photography. It helps to have a gaggle of hot Asian girls that like their photos taken, real motivating haha.

Also need to work on more music.

Short term stuff is going to the eye doctor and updating my contact lens prescription so I can snowboard this winter (if there is any snow).

Holy shit!! well done! assuming I finalise my student debt in july 2015, that would�ve been 14 years to pay off ~15K (plus interest of course)

All that interest you could have kept in your pocket, damn. Only 2.5 years for me. I figured since I was already used to living on my student income I could sacrifice a few more years of a tight budget. I hate the thought of giving the bank an extra 18-20 k in interest alone. Fuckers.

Think if I was you with your skillset, I'd look at a management and leadership course or two.
Nursing will always be around and in some kind of demand, however; just when I used to hang out with my mum who was in a medical field, you'd get nursing staff come in an assume positions of seniority and leadership roles on the basis that if you hang around long enough, then you'll get promoted.
But that doesn't mean they know a damn about actually A) doing the job or B) actually doing the job well, specifically when it comes to having staff and motivating them to work.

So, in your case I think if you wanted to aim higher, but not put yourself through the nightmare of 'more' medical education + full time work, then you could look at the upper roles in the medical profession itself (which you know better than I do!) and then look at how you could fit yourself into those based on a mix of your field experience in the hospital and what the roles themselves entail. Plus if at some point you just get fed up with the whole thing, you can use something like management and leadership courses to hop across to a completely different field that could be in retail, service industries or something else like that.

Healthcare informatics, yo.

yeah, our interest is just CPI though, so not really worth worrying about (so i didn't!)

I actually hate management AND leadership. I could never see myself in that kind of role, nor do I ever want the responsibility.

A masters in nursing takes you only a handful of places. Either you become a nurse practitioner (do not want), a clinical specialist (also not want), or some kind of higher up, like management (def do not want). The thing about management here, too, is they aren't in a union. I love my union and the security that comes with it, hah.

I'm thinking like RIGHT out of nursing/medical altogether, but perhaps still in healthcare. Like health policy or something. Social policy also interests me. I have only recently become more interested in politics, but that's something too.

I want to gain a deeper understanding of the world. I guess I don't have to go to school to do that, but I would like to be able to put to action whatever it is I learn.

nah, fuck em!

was prob 2 grand a year, just didn't have to pay for the first few looking forward to my pay increase once that shit is sorted though!

Yay!

I am not averse to pursuing an MBA at all, in fact.

And yeah, I hope that works out for you...best feeling just getting it over with. I think it will probably be more satisfying than finishing school even, haha.

School is for suckers. Just hustle. Last week i broke into a construction site and stole 5 grand worth of plywood. Couldn't find a buyer so i made a bunch of bird houses and sold them at a discount price through bed bath store. Hustling everyday.

Just robbed a truck full of yarn and knitting turtle neck sweaters to sell in china town straight og

I keep saying I'll sell my worn socks and panties on craigslist, but have never followed through. :/

Pm Nou he'd pay top dollar
