    Big News!
    Well, I've been insanely busy but I wanted to at least do a quick post of the big news. Over the past 2 weeks my job search literally exploded. At one point I had as many as 3 serious possibilities at once, and a few that never materialized in the end. I almost was able to say I got a job from here on LiveJournal because I was contacted by a company through an anonymous post here and they made a great offer that would probably have worked out well for me. However at the last minute another offer came through from a game company that's only a few blocks from my apartment, so I'll be able to WALK to work every day. Given the fact that the other offer was in Van Nuys, 17+ miles away each way, and the fact that I'd have a 3-way commute when USC is thrown into the mix, being able to walk to work was too good an opportunity to pass on. It's also a great opportunity doing games. Most of it will be Flash but they also do C++ games, depending on the project. And it seems to be a very cool company! So I accepted their offer on Thursday, and I start next week.

    I also had another company interested that brought me in to do some contract Flex work for a few days, and although that would also have been a great opportunity the commute to Calabasas just wasn't going to work out with my 3-way commute.

    It's interesting that the combination of games and the Flash/Actionscript experience I have seems to have made me seriously in demand suddenly.

    I don't want to post anything just yet until I make a final decision but it's been a busy week and I should have some really big news to post here by the end of next week:).

    Right now I've got a lot going on, including a project for class that's now overdue (my team keeps getting 3rd members that seem to vanish off the face of the Earth and not contribute to the projects, unfortunately) and a midterm on Tuesday. And I never realized quite how much looking for work really IS a full time job until now. So I haven't checked in for a while and will have a lot of catching up to do soon.
