Right now I'm sitting in the Champaign Library because of the combination of Comcast and Chase sucking the diseased fat one. Anyway...My job at Volition has come to an end; and I have no problem admitting that I would've done anything to be a full-time employee there. And I mean ANYTHING! You can infer whatever you want from that statement, but when it comes to being employed in the video game industry, yes...I would've done anything for a permanent job. Oh well..I was well-paid to sit in front of a monitor and play the unreleased Red Faction game. All I can say is that I'm excited for this game...(I signed an NDA; can't say anymore than that) I have an interview at a place called Mickey's Linen's. They take care of all linen for the restaurants in the area; stuff like chef coats, tablecloths, napkins, etc. The position is for a route manager, not delivery. So far the only downside I can see to this job is it's location; it's in a real meth part of town. In fact, I drove by there just to make sure I knew where it was for tomorrow, and I thought I was lost. But I did find the place, and thankfully, it looks like it's been built in the last 5 years and hasn't had a meth lab explode in it. So let's all hope that I get it, because I'm quickly losing faith in Manpower and in Spherion (the agency that got me the job at Volition) I was told that I had a job lined up after Volition ended, but now it's not there...thanks Manpower! Ugh...all the more reason why I want this job to come through for me...hell, I'm seriously considering going to work at fucking McDonalds right now...that's how bad it's gotten. Of course, they would probably tell me I was over-qualified; yes, I have actually been told that. Eh, I have to go feed the meter; wait, can't do that. Fuck, I'm out of change! Oh well...time to go home and watch a few movies...peace out!
