Talblog: New Jobs are Grand

New Jobs are Grand

Right before the Christmas holiday, I thought I would give you all an update.

If any of you didn't know already, I left lucasarts (I still feel conflicted about that one) and started work at a much more "nose to the grindstone" hardcore 3d graphic effects company in berkeley (www.tippett.com).

So far it has been crazy and fun... scary and weird to. In a way it feels like moving to a new town or something - trying to meet people, learn where Best Buy is, getting lost, and not knowing what to do for lunch. The cool thing about this industry though, is that people move around so much that everyone is used to new faces.

My first day was filled with them constructing my desk, and setting up my computer (why don't they ever do that the day before?). Also filled with getting a 5000 page opus of benefits documentation, benefits training, and a sweet new t-shirt ("imagination or death") what?

Since then I have been a sponge... too much new information for my feeble mind.. Also, I have been learning ping pong... trying to compete with the big boys over here.

Commuting sucks. going backwards over the golden gate bridge was a dream commute. Now I take the nasty grey bay bridge full of fuckheads and it kills me a little bit everyday.... but worth it.

Anyway, just wanted to throw a few words up... it has been a while since I posted something with substance.

Good to hear things are mostly positive. Thank god Kurt's new job will keep him on the reverse commute side with me (we will both be working north of the city ). It definitely does chip away at you�

you should get a motorcycle and cut out that commute issue your having.

If the question is asked, what are the most intelligent and all-round-capable things on earth, the answer is obvious: human beings. Everyone knows this, except certain religious people. A person is certainly a believer in some religion if he thinks, for example, that there are on earth millions of invisible and immortal nonhuman beings which are far more intelligent and capable than we are. But that is exactly what sociobiologists do think, about genes. Sociobiology, then, is a religion: one which has genes as its gods. by free online poker
