    Hi guys,
    Most of the regulars here know a little of how my personal circumstances changed recently hence why I had to sell my stack.
    If I have not left any of you feedback please drop me a pm and I will do so asap. I know I did not remember everyone.

    Well the job market here in Geraldton is not looking too great so I have decided to do some retraining.
    I am getting older now and am not as fit as I once was so have decided to give up the construction game.

    I have enrolled in a course, Certificate IV in Accounting, using some of my stacking funds for course fees etc. Upon completion i can then apply for a Diploma in Accounting.
    I have a friend who is a CPA and he said it was a great idea and that once I successfully complete the course he will be able to send some work and contacts my way.
    He has been a great help as he was a part owner of the company I used to work for.

    I was getting a bit down and out over the last couple of months but having made this decision seems to have put a positive slant on my future.

    I will be on SS from time to time as it was a great learning site and I met some great people here.
    I realise that it will be a challenge but I thrive on challenges,
    Wish me luck lol!

    Cheers Rick

    Construction to accounting. You're a lot more adaptable than I am.

    Hi guys thought I would let you all know how things are travelling, U people I regard as my family as I have no one else.
    Well the Cpa I mentioned above rang me up and asked if I could do a couple of things around his offices, and it has turned into a full blown renovation! I have not had time to scratch myself let alone study my accounting course.
    Then bugger me my ex boss came to see me and he wants to know if I can do some casual work for a mineral sands mine out here! It dont rain it poors, I could not be happier right now. The job is only menial and back breaking but it gets me out of home and off the computer and may help me get a bitter fitter, mentally and physically. It is surprising how unfit you become after 8 weeks on your ass. I am stuffed after just 3 days of renovations!
    If this keeps up I may well be able to start stacking again lol
    Cheers all Rick (having a well earnt emu export right now)

    Good to hear. By the way you are probably spot on about getting unfit so quickly sitting in front of a computer.
    Is Sitting a Lethal Activity?
