I really need to use this thing more, but life got in the way again. x_x How many of you are still with using LJ? I need to hook up my tumblr to post art here, too

*waves!* Welcome back! :D Grats on the new job and pending move.

[shellypants]

Thanks! :D

I just booked a trip to New York! Looks like I'll miss you by a week. Haha. Congratulations on the new job! San Fancisco sounds awesome - I'd love to go there one day myself. And more congratulations for your business doing so well! It must feel amazing. :D

[shellypants]

Ahhhh really?! Oh man! I would've loved to see/meet you! Ah well, there will be other times our paths cross, I'm sure. :)

Thank you! :D

[dragonz]

Yeah it would have been great to meet you! As you say though: I'm sure our paths will cross again. :) I might as well plumb your NY knowledge before it's lost, so is there anywhere in the city you love going to or would recommend seeing? Haha.

Best of luck in San Francisco. That's quite a long distance move. :D

[shellypants]

We're both globetrotters, I don't doubt it at all. :3

Hm what kinds of places? We're pretty big foodies so I know of a number of restaurants, we're not much for clubs or sightseeing. X)

Oh and thanks! XD;; Moving from Utah to NYC was pretty big too... I feel pretty at ease with it since this time we're gonna try selling off the majority of our stuff.

I'm curious what you didn't like about OMGpop. Was it stifling or? I suppose I'm always just interested to hear about people's work experiences at creative places/careers.

Congrats on the new job and on your side business!

[shellypants]

I'd wanted to stay at OMGpop for a long time, but numerous red flag moments that were reminiscent of EA drove me off, among other unfortunate things. :( In the end, it wasn't the direction I wanted to take my career.

Thank youuu!

[nippyfrog]

It's hard to find good places. Plus- not sure if this was your experience or not, just saying - so often creative careers get met with an attitude like you should work for free, or constant overtime, because "you love doing this right?".

[shellypants]

Yeah, I feel ya on the "you love doing this, right?" thing. :(

[crazyloststar]

It's awesome how you get to try so many new experiences though in the same industry! Congrats, and congrats on your own business going well! :D

[shellypants]

I guess it is! Have you been with the same company the entire time you've been in games?

Thank youuu! I hope I get to see more of you now we'll be in the same state. :D
