School troubles. >_<

[Pwolf]

Had a disheartening meeting today about the city budget. Worst case scenario, my position will be cut along with the other temp staff and one full time GIS staff. The whole thing is messed up. My department is merged with the whole admin services (HR, finance, city managers office...) and the majority of those departments wont cut anything/anyone. They have more power to do so which leaves us with the burden of coming up with things to cut -_- And if the GIS position gets cut, Public works gets screw on that front but the whole city gets screwed because the help desk will basically be gone with little room for other staff to fill in the gap. The people calling the shots here don't understand the real cost of cutting our staff, they just want to see cuts.

Oh well. The worst case situation looks bad enough that it wont happen, but it all depends on what the city council wants to do. I guess i'm also looking for other work anyway so if i do get cut, I'll probably find another job before then.

I can't decide whether I want to stay in Cornwall and finish my Game Development course, or return to Kingston and take a more generic Software Engineering course... I don't really want to do game development anymore, except as a hobby, I'd really like to do some other kind of software development, I've found I'm better at that. I've already done a year of the course, however, and I've made some friends and really like the teachers... On the other hand, with less focus on games in another course and three years vs two, I'll have a better understanding of more generic development, and it'll look better for a regular job on a resume than game development will, despite the fact that we're covering basically the same as the other course, just with a focus on games and less java, and without the work placement at the end. It'd be cheaper for me to live in Kingston for the generic software course, as I can live with my parents, but I feel like I wouldn't have the same independance, despite what my parents say... I want to see if I can pay rent in order to not have to do silly chores to live with them. I'd also get to see my girlfriend more regularily... I really don't know what to do. I've started this course, but the other is more in-depth, and cheaper for living, though I'd be leaving some good friends behind and I'm sure there wouldn't be close to as many people interested in gaming in the other course. No more sitting around between classes playing monster hunter with seven other people... Argh, sorry for the wall of text, I just had to type it out and get these things straight in my mind... It's a tough decision and will undoubtably affect the rest of my life, I don't know what the fuck to do. :<

EDIT: Also, I'd probably have constant vehicle access in Kingston, and more spending money since I'd eat meals with my parents and wouldn't have to pay $350/mo for rent... Everything says I should go home next year, but I don't want to drop this course after getting halfway through, and I like the people and independance...

Shit atleast you guys get to enjoy the good weather right now when it does happen. This sprained ankle wont let me do anything but limp around. Can't play basketball, football, jog, man I can't even drive my motorcycle cause I don't want to potentially put 400lbs of pressure on it having to recover from a bad turn or something. Shitsux, was told sprained ankles can take longer to heal than fractured ones or whatever, it varies on how bad the sprain is and your own body's ability to heal. This is my first time every spraining. I'm 2 weaks in and it still swells whenever I start walking on it after waking up and the bruising is still there but slowly going away. I guess I should just be thankful I can limp around on it and that it wasn't more serious.
