Hello again, readers.
I know that it’s been a while and that my last few updates have been lacking in the angst department, but unlike most angry-angst musical bands that still pretend to be ansgty and angry well after they are cleaning their asses with Benjamins, you’ll find no such hypocrisy here. No sir.
As a matter of fact, I’ve had the “Movin’ On Up!” song from the hit ’70s TV show, “The Jeffersons” stuck in my head for a while now (recently replaced with Manamana by the Muppets). Except, I’m not moving to the east side, as the song would suggest, rather, I’m moving to the west side.
My good friend Kim called it my Cinderella story in that Prince Charming swooped down to my place after we danced like wild animals the night before and made me try a size 11 glass pump. It fit like a dream. So we’ve eloped and lived happily ever after… Actually, if you replace Prince Charming with Microsoft, Dancing all night with Interviewing all Day, and Trying on the Glass Slipper with Giving Me a Job With the XBox Live Team, then you’re beginning to get the picture.
Yes my dear readers! I’m moving back to Washington State and am now officially part of the gaming industry! Woo! Woo! I’ve met my future coworkers (who the hell orks cows? For that matter, what is orking?) and they seem like a fun bunch. This is gonna be great.
Why, why am I moving 3000 miles away? Well, aside from the fact that I’ll be working for a rock-solid company that treats their employees like their most valuable asset, working with really cool people, and doing what I always wanted… well, let’s just say they made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
I start my new job at the end of August and will leave shortly before. So if I know you, we must hang out rabidly before I leave.
Oh yes, “We finally got a piece of the pie.”
