Life update
polycounter lvl 18
Hi guys!
Sorry it's been such a long time sinse I posted anything, but I've ben busy.
As some of you know, the GF came back from Kuwait. We did a relationship upgrade from BF & GF to Husband and Wife. We then started packing to move to the Great Northwest from Indiana. We finally made it here after a disatorous start. We were taking my van and the wifes car. Well, the van died in Illinois. There went my trnsportation. We got a U-haul for 2000 bucks! (we couldn't find another van for that price
). That also put us behind schedule by a day.
We finally made it to Everett Washington, pulled into our apartment complex and both said "yuck!". Lesson learned here. Don't believe online apartmnt descriptions. We needed a place to live and we already paid the deposit and first months lease, so we're staying for a bit. Nexy day I check my email and find that the job I thought I had lined up was gone. It seems that they needed me to contact them the day before. Unfortunately I hadn't been able to check email for 4 days and didn't know that. Crap happens, had to move on. I got thge resume out and started applying like crazy and also started doing temp work. The wife is still waiting for her fingerprints to clear so she can teach here, but they haven't gone through yet. So here we are in Washington basicly unemployed and working on making a new home
On the bright side, I just go a message from nintendo saying they would like to interview me for a tech support position, and another tech recruiter wants to talk with me on monday.
I'm hoping I can get life together enough to do some of my mediocore 3d soon.

It'll get better soon, just be patient
It sounds like you made it over the hump
Sorry to hear about all the bad luck. Hopefully those new offers will turn into something great for you.
BTW south Everett sucks, at least in my area it does.
Thanks for the encouragement guys. I'm sure things will get better. I'll update you guys later.
I'm about to take a test to see if I'm fit to work for nintendo phone support
Going to wait for the kids to go to sleep though. I can't concentrate when they keep yelling "DAD" every few minutes.
Check out sites like garagegames.com for freelance work. And you might want to look into placement agencies around here like Filter to get you some contract work to hold you over. Good luck with everything.
2 more job offers have come in. One is a temp job that pays about 20 an hour and the other is a full time that pays about 14 an hour!!!! Persitence pays off! WOOHOOOOOO!!!

Sounds like you got the bases covered TS, time to start fending off those job offers with your +1 stick of pwnage.
HEHE
Also, why can't I find some decent italian roast around here? The coffee taste like burnt folgers in most places
On a side note. Does anyone know of a $200-$300 used motorcycle for sale? I need something cheap to replace the van. Most of the jobs I'm looking at require a bit of a commute, that I can't do on foot.
