Default Today marks the end...

of one job and monday marks the beginning of another... This time it's not because I got laid off or anything bad... This time it's simply because my contract with Microsoft has ended. Was a blast, got to test a couple games, main one being PGR4 which comes out on Tuesday (lots of fun), the other comes out in november (Can't really say hehe) but it's nice being able to see my name in the credits of something.

Monday marks the beginning of what hopefully will turn out to be a long career. I start monday working for Apple in one of their Apple Stores as a Mac specialist. I'll be working out of the one at Alderwood Mall. Unfortunately it starts out as part time, but I should move to full time fairly quick. Nice thing is it's not contract so I'm working for Apple not a third party. Once I go full time I'll have good benefits. And it's close to home (1/2 mile so I plan on walking to work, help lose the 40lbs I gained while working at microsoft lol). From there I hope to move up to either management or into their pro line and work with professionals on media software and such. Maybe get into training and that side or work as a vendor rep at one of the Best Buys in the area.

Now to just get to full time and start pulling in enough to get the WS6 fixed and back on the road... Anyone have an IV full of muscle car driving pleasure? I need a fix for my addiction lol

Alderwood, eh? I'm gonna have to come bother you at work. Congrats though, just changed jobs myself. I'm pretty excited about PGR4 as well.

No one believes me when I say you've gained ~40lbs working over in A.

I saw for myself after not seeing you for a couple months and running into you at the cafeteria it was like "whoa".

I run into Tranzor every so often and Amanda before the org moved to RTC.

Best of luck in the future.
