The trip so far.............

It's week 4, date 29/2/2012 or leap day for 2012.

Once again, another week has almost passed and now the class has pretty much gotten to know each other,
this week I've pretty much been the only guy in the class so it's fun to use the "coz I'm a guy" jokes ha ha

The work lately has been pretty interesting and it's starting to become a bit harder each week but I'm also learning new tricks and skills on some tasks on hand, keyboard typing is a bit faster now but i still make a few mistakes when typing but getting better at not so can't really complain.

Well as part of a task i had to do today, we as a class got to watch a dvd about the danger's of social networking, and what can happen if someone people get the wrong idea when you share someone with everyone, also when sending email humour you have to take into account how well you know the person and even if they get your humour but even then you should remain as professional as you can and do something in your own time and not at work.

I'm starting to get a hang of when work is due but I'm really just doing it "last minute" lack of a better saying to explain it. which in a way isn't a good thing but it also is, means that i get the work done, but really don't have much time to double check what i said. so i have to get things mostly right the first time, maybe i should update my home computer so i can start working on stuff there.


Bye to all and thanks for reading.

The road less traveled....


I'll tell you guys what, kicking back in class, writing a blog post and do work ain't a bad way to learn new things, it's been 2 and half weeks in TAFE and already i have some master advice if anyone wants it, If you ever do MYOB work, Make sure that everything is correct and in the right place, becuase i'll tell you what it's a pain to go back 2-3 hours of work to find that you did a typo eg $2365 when it's meant to be $236, it just messes all things up.

TAFE sometimes can be fun and other times you wonder why you are there in the class room, but i got to say that if you do pay attention and do the work, you can get pretty far in a short amount of time and some of the things here i have learn in the time here is good.


The people in my class are cool and i actually know one of the mothers there and they son, which she is fun to talk to.

If you are gonna go to TAFE, get to know the people in your class, and most of all, have fun with anything you do, it makes a difference if your having fun.

The Trip so far…..

It’s week 2 here and already today I’ve made this blog, started to know some of the people here and my skills in typing have slowly improved abit.

Although some of the work I don’t quite understand how it could be useful in some problems in the workplace, but then again it’s sometimes helpful to know something and not use it then be stuck and don’t know what to do.

Well I do enjoy the classes and some of the things I do at TAFE and It would suck for this to end, But at $650 per course here, yer it’s abit hard to argue the point above J

hope you enjoyed reading this post and there will be more to come.

Bye to all

Week 3 February 2012

The trip so far.....

Yet another week has almost passed and I’m starting to really get into the work at hand.
in my time in business so far I’m learned that with emails there's more to them then i thought, there's a thing called "Email Etiquette" which is pretty much rules or advisory tips to help write better emails not only to your friends, but also businesses also.

Doing MYOB work is also interesting, and I’ve learned that if you make a mistake early on in the reports. it can mess up a whole lot of work in the future, so the main point being is to double check everything you do and if you don't know what is going on, Just stop and figure it out.

Working in the customer service class is alright but i find that i kind of have a problem with the educational videos, not the information that it's giving but the acting on them is a bit odd, in one of the videos it was saying that when a customer is angry or annoyed etc., should walk up to them and state your name and position and that you are going to help them, sorry but if i was annoyed i wouldn't like someone walking up to me and telling me a lot of useless information. Sorry.

Now although the work maybe a bit easy sometimes or that some of the acting is slightly annoying to watch, it this starting to be a test of skill and understanding and that comes into play when learning something new, bettering a skill, or just having a better understanding in customer service, it’s a pretty good class to be in and the people in this class also are nice to talk to and get along with.

But i do like the idea that writing a blog is part of a class and it's pretty laid back, but in saying that, doing one a week isn’t that bad of a way to reflect on the week and see what i have to improve on.

Wait till next week for new blog post

Bye to all

How I have found TAFE so far….


When I first started, At first I didn’t know anyone in the class and was pretty quiet to the rest of the class, I was a little nervous at first with not knowing anyone in the class, during my first break here at TAFE I met up with some friends and it was nice to know that I have friends here at TAFE and I do get to see them on a day to day basics, the food here is pretty good and there’s a good range of things to pick from.

About a week here I’v started to open up to the class and starting to get to know the people here and I have also been enjoying the classes that I have and the company of the people in them, although it’s only been week or so it's been "so far so good"

The lectures here are nice and willing to help out regardless of what you know or don’t know, and the classes are helping me and my skills to improve and adopt new knowledge EG: getting better at touch typing or learning how to use MYOB.

I have questioned a couple things about what I was doing and how I was doing things on MYOB but after reading in the book and asking the lecture if it was correct I have found that something’s are not as hard as it looks.

Although I’v done some of the work before from other business classes or at work there are still things I don’t know or learning how to have better customer service etc.

Being at TAFE, I have motivated myself to do the work at hand and also use my time wisely and manageable to fit in with my everyday life, I have enjoyed my time here at TAFE so far and I hope to pass this course, learn new skills, better my current skills and also make some new friends at TAFE.

Be sure to keep reading the blog as more posts will be made :)
