Default Stupendous news!

Well, I finally got the job of my dreams. I just got hired today at Microsoft as a product tester. So Tyler, you should be seeing me around. Hopefully this will start me on a path towards my ultimate goal of being a game producer. The job with Evan's just wasn't for me. After driving around and not getting any sales, I think someone is trying to tell me something. I just can't afford it anymore, and I don't want to put that kind of ware on my car. This should be a great opportunity.

Um, I'm not quite sure which building. I interviewed in Millenium building A, but I'm not sure if that's where to testing takes place. Yeah the window gig was pretty nice, and under different circumstances I'm sure it would have worked out. But right now a steady pay check is more important.

Mark is the audio content coordinator on my team, Forza.

Jason - I'm in Mil-F.

Where / what are you doing? MS?

Edit:

Went for a walk about 3:30 and saw your C4 behind Mil-D in the single space next to the loading dock. MS, nice!

I work over in Millenium B... I'm the Fulfillment Manager for Mosaic, and we do the merchandising for X-Box, Zune, and Vista. Come on by, my cube is 1500F.

And you wouldn't have seen my C4, haven't driven it to work yet... My Impy, you'd see that once in a while.
