Whoops
In my ranty post it makes it sound like there are family assets. I just meant the property my family owns, etc.
Anyway, I reread that post after calming down a bit and I realized that it sounded like I was suggesting my kid would somehow inherit vast sums of wealth. Haw.
Man, in Oklahoma again. Work has me so bummed out. I feel like my job description has completely changed from what it used to be. I gotta find a way out of this mess before I go nuts. I am firmly in the school of "work should be enjoyable." I am not feeling the love. The sad thing is the longer I sit in this job, the less chance I will have to move back into the regular game industry. Maybe I just didn't understand the scope of the project when it was started. In any case it is way more complex than was first explained to me, and I don't seem to have enough resources to complete the task. I felt like I had a handle on the prior project. This one, on the other hand, just feels like its a neverending road of "didn't you know this" and "didn't you know that?"
Oh well, time to start looking. This job is no fun, and even less so since it feels like I am just barely scraping by on my supposedly "industry average" salary. If I wasn't so stressed out over personal finances I might be inclined to stick around...but I get the feeling if I stay all I'm going to get are the non-game titles. When I thought I was actually helping teach negotiations or helping out with medical research then the job seemed worth it. Now...the negatives are not outweighting the positives.
I don't know if I can get a callback from a larger studio, however. I guess I should focus on smaller studios. Not sure I want to jump back into the publisher rat race.
