Well, OK, I'm still having a longer weekend than most but you get the idea.  ;-)

On the job front things are looking very promising.  One place in particular is probably going to hire a number of people from my old company so that's good.  I also heard they have one position that they think I'd be perfect for.  This put me in a good mood but all of ( Read more... )

Well, as I thought, I got laid off.  They let go of a lot of people.  I'm not sure how much more I can say in a public forum and lots of the stuff I heard was rumors.  I'm not too worried right now since I know at least one other company is interested and (assuming they can pay it) I'm supposed to get paid for my 6 weeks of vacation.

Considering I' ( Read more... )

Just a quick update.  The layoff is tomorrow and supposedly they're going to meet with each person individually regardless of your status.  I'm planning to head in early since I'd rather get it out of the way.  I'm supposed to have lunch with my dad so if I need to clean out my cube I'd rather have that done before then.  One way or another I'll ( Read more... )

As the subject indicates I've been living in interesting times recently.  I'm sure it's all because of the Olympics going on and where they are.  (yeah, riiiight).  If I had actually gotten around to posting this more than a week ago when I planned I would have followed the timeline but I think I'll start at current status and then jump all around ( Read more... )

I'm in the middle of cleaning right now so just a copy of a post I made in the Balitmore IGDA chapter forum:

Today's (Sunday 8/3/08) issue of the Baltimore Examiner there's a cover story about the gaming industry in Hunt Valley.  There's a caracture of Sid on the cover and the story is on page 4 and 5.

Here's a direct link to the story but it doesn't ( Read more... )

Finally back to post again.  A lot going on so we'll see how much I'll get in before I need go crash so I can do that work (YUCK) thing tomorrow.

I've seen various movies.  I enjoyed "Prince Caspian" and hope it picks up some steam though Disney admitted they brought it out at a bad time.  I really had a lot of fun with "Speed Racer" and I REALLY ( Read more... )

Opps, I forgot in my previous post that I went to an Orioles game on Thursday as a company outing.  We lost but it was still fun.

I made it back to the gym again (so far keeping up to at least twice a week).  I'm betting that tomorrow could be fun since I already feel it in my shoulders.

Awesome Power Ninjas tonight in City of Heroes and tomorrow is ( Read more... )

This weekend was rather busy.  Saturday morning I was off to the Towson Town Festival or I think they call it the Spring Festival now (whatever).  It was the usual stuff but it's fun to wander around and see what's up and snack on some food (trying to figure out which stalls will not kill me).  My mom was helping out a bit at church and she joined ( Read more... )
