It seems an eternity since I was last here, and since I have caught up on all of your blogs as well -- I look forward to reading and catching up on all of your lives this week: I've missed my daily invasion into your lives. :) Work has been busy, study has been busier...but the latter is over, for now.
Final assessment [Workplace Review of IT Governance] handed in and I did my Presentation last night, so my assessments for the subject are complete. Hurrah. Two more lectures [all day Friday and all day Saturday], and, assuming all went well, I have finished my Postgrad Certificate in IT Project Management.
Glutton for punishment I am, and being egged on my some colleagues [who obviously do not tire of me whinging and whining about study to them!], I am considering moving to a Masters in some area of IT and Management next semester. We shall see how it pans out. The emphasis on business in the subjects I have done has been a great help to me, particularly as I come from a technical background. I know theory and practice are often not exactly aligned, and a bit of study can be a dangerous things in some people's hands compared to practice and experience, but I do believe such further study may benefit me. We shall see. But I will definitely be leaving PhDs to others...this brain was not made for them [though I wouldn't mind that fancy hat and clothes you get to wear after obtaining one. :) ]
