It has come to my attention that I need to post on my blog more.
Let's see... last entry was in... October? Yes, I do need to post on my blog more.
Not much has changed with my throat. It's less dry and scratchy, but it still bugs me a lot in the morning. Maybe I sleep with my mouth open?
I'm out of school. My last day was last friday. My actual graduation ceremony is in February.
I'm looking for work. If anyone knows anyone who knows anyone who needs a computer animator who focuses on character rigging, let me know. I model, I texture, I light! I rig, I animate, I render! I know how to rotoscope and do fancy things in photoshop!
I found a totally fantastic job posting from
SparkPlay Media, who are spun off from
Iron Realms. They wanted a content designer for a
MMORPG, which was pretty much exactly what I was doing at Sinistrad.
Incidentially, I talked to Calador from Sinistrad not too long ago, and he says he's going to try and bring the mud back up in February. I'm looking forward to building again.
I sent off my resume to SparkPlay, and got a phone interview with them. It felt like I bombed it, but I have no way to actually compare it to any other interview, so I donno. In any case, I did not make it to the second round of interviews.
It probably didn't help that my phone died halfway through and I had to borrow someone else's phone.
I'm really bummed about this. It was an awesome job.
Looking around for work again, it's really distressing how many jobs are out there for programmers. And this is just in the subset of game programmers.
I could've been a programmer. I liked programming. The only reason I'm not a programmer now is my community college offered computer animation classes instead.
In any case, that is my current state of affairs.
