Blahhhhh.... I was sick all week-end. Work was about 300 percent more stressful than it usually is. I'm learning the same software that Sonya is. Dreamweaver, Flash, and Photoshop. My pirated versions are older than the current versions, but hopefully it's enough to get started on them to somewhat know what I'm doing when I get to England. I'm also looking into Mercantec SoftCart because small businesses are what I believe Chris' company is going to cater to. I haven't played with that one at all yet, but at least I can kind of visualize how I need to use it when planning my templates. No, I don't have any templates made yet, but I think I'll make up some practice ones to get familiar with the whole process before I get there. The real ones will come after I see exactly what we're looking for. Doesn't seem right that a Yank like me should be designing the look of an English website when I know absolutely nothing about England. Anyway, who am I to argue.... I'm going to ENGLAND!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOEEY!!!! Of course, this move and career change isn't doing much for my stress level... I'm a mess. I mean it's nice to trade in all of your current worries for a new set of 'em, but that whole grey sea I see before me isn't the North Atlantic, I'll tell you that. On the preparation side of it all... I haven't started the passport process yet, I haven't sold my car, (although I just put almost $1000 into fixing it last week), I haven't shipped my computer yet (which I'm told takes at least a couple of months to get there by boat.), no salary has been agreed upon yet, I have a basic understanding of some of the software I'm suppose to know, but I have no real practical experience with any of it, oh yeah, and my credit cards are at max and I'm broke. Killer, huh. Did I mention?... I'm going to ENGLAND!!!! YAAAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOEEEY!!!!! Luckily, tax returns will hopefully be accomplished this week and that should remove quite a large chunk of the credit card debt. (especially with all that student loan intrest I paid this year.) The car selling is my greatest money obstacle and that will clear the rest of my debts and leave me with about $2000 for setting up in the new place. There is still some hope left that this will all work out just fine. Feels kinda good to vent all this.
