Drumbeat
Probably I should do something in order to slow down the pace of how things are happening in my life. I feel like riding a loose skateboard - a several significant things are going on simultaneously and things are happening very fast.
Yamato
I have been to a performance of taiko drummers last Saturday. They are the Yamato group and have been on a tour. During their European tour they made like 4-5 performances last weekend in Budapest and one or two in Debrecen. I really loved their performance - the whole building was shaking when they played, and they brought up very intensive and powerful feelings in me. They completely blew the audience away. The title of their performance this year was "Shin-On", which means something like "Heartbeat". Although they play in a relatively modern style, still if you happen to be able to listen to them, don't miss the opportunity. This is their website.
New position thingie
The other IT unit at my uni called me a few days ago and asked if I could make myself free for a little while to talk about the new position that they're probably going to offer to me. So I met them yesterday and we talked. It seems that by the end of April or May they will see if the position, which is currently filled by someone, will have to be taken away from that person, and in that case they will offer it to me. First in part time and if everything goes well we can switch to full time from September.
Also they told that the position at the moment is not a project manager position, but rather a kind of coordinator and assistant position to the current project managers (there are two). Which is a bit different to what I initially expeced, but the work itself is not bad and there is still chance to develop on a long run.
However the money issue worries me just a tiny bit - I tried to ask carefully whazzup with the money but they avoided answering so I did not push it anymore - we can get back to it in May.
One thing is sure: I will take the position only if it will worth the change - only if I will get more than I do get now.
I was planning to go abroad for work after all, to make money for buying a flat, and I have put this plan on stand-by because the possibility of getting a better paying position was brought up. If however it will not pay well enough for me which worths the stay in Hungary, I will not take it but I go abroad. We will see in May
Being the supporting pillar
Until then I heaps of works to do here, recently things speeded up at the uni. We centralize the Electronic Theses Database collection, and also it seems that testing Moodle, the e-learning service for the whole uni is left to me. So now I am busy with writing FAQ's, tutorials, while in the same time teaching the new colleague how to prepare for classes, how to build up a computer course, and beside all these tutoring students until the new colleague can take over everything that was done by the previous instructor.
AND beside all these my boss is having his climax period I think - he keeps picking at me for all kinds of odds and ends, while the whole department's operation is practically based on me alone. It is not a wise thing for him to do this to his most reliable and stable colleague at such times.
Anyway, it is really time for me to get out of here - I feel that beside this job's not being a challlenge anymore, it is not healthy either to stay somewhere for such a long time.
