As most of you have probably noticed, I've been away for some time.
Last week I transitioned from Raytheon to Blizzard Entertainment, thusly ending my job with an aerospace coorporation and beginning my new life with the gaming industry.
So far, it's been a BLAST! Everyone's at or around my age, and despite being complete goofballs, we get all our work done. It's that whole mentality where if you love your job, work is no longer work... it's too fun to be thought of as work!
And on the occassion, we're allowed to play games at work!
It was like a culture shock going from high colar, business casual, practically bowing everytime the Raytheon president went by, to wearing jeans and flip-flops, having free sodas, and high fiving the prez at Blizz as he walks by (of course this is easy for me seeing as how I'm the prez's assistant!). SO different from Raytheon! No stress... no fuss... it's all laid back and relaxed. And it feels so right! :)
Anyways, I just wanted to give you a heads up as to where I was and what was going on with me. I'm still alive and well, and I will continue to contribute to the RPs I'm currently in. But once most of those get done or move on, I may limit my RP time so I don't get swamped with too many. Maybe 1 or 2 at a time or something.
Well, back to candy land for me! :D
