So where to begin. That is always the problem isn't it. Any writer knows the problem intimately and really the only answer is in the beginning.


I got told by some friends in Raleigh to apply at their company. They work at a place called Icarus Studios. They are working on an MMO called Fallen Earth. A good portion of the design team for this game are old friends of mine(*waves* Hi guys!). Any way on Friday of last week at the beginning of the larp, Lee advised me I should put in a resume. I dutifully did on the following Monday.


So I got the job. I will be doing QA for the game. Basically playing it in such a manner so as to find all the flaws. I will be making better than 10,000 a year better than my current pay. Also it is my understanding most game designers in the industry start in the QA line. It is potentially the beginning of a career. I expect and plan on doing QA for at least a year though. There is good news and then there is good news.


Now it is great news, but I am not so silly as to be all roses and candy. The moving is not going to be easy. I have yet to figure out where I am moving. I am hoping to find a roommate do to wanting to reduce expenses of moving. Baring that maybe a couch to crash on for a while I get a place. As a last resort I will hit up the family for some help to get a place, but that is a last resort type thing as I am never happy to hit my family up for financial aid.


The fun part is the start date appears to be 12-3-07. So I have 2 weeks to find a place and move. Two weeks to prepare for a new job and new city.


May you live in interesting times.


Things are going to be chaotic for a bit. I am happy and terrified at the same time.


So thats the news. Hope everyone is having a good day.

Yay! Good for you! I think this will be the beginnings of good things for you. And don't worry about finding a place to stay; it will all work out. That said, if you are going to look for a place first rather than just trying someone's couch, you'd better look quick. With Thanksgiving next week, apartment offices will be closed a good portion of your two weeks.

I'm so happy for you!

I don't have space in my own apartment, but two apartments of the six that share my staircase are currently unoccupied.

Yay! Join the convergence. And if you're looking for a small house for rent we just looked at one in Chapel Hill last night that's too small for us but might work for you.
