I've worked at my current company for close to 6 years. Before that I was at Sony for a year. Before that I was a waiter for a year and a half. Every job I've had was terminated at my discretion. It wasn't until now, until today, that I've ever been forced out ( Read more... )

SchoolHaving applied to Berkeley's MBA program, I was forced to wait until April 1st to get a response back (quite the unfortunate date to receive notification). While I did hear back, the email started ominously enough with the phrase "After careful consideration..." Usually not a good sign ( Read more... )

It's been quite a year. I got married in February, worked on the biggest project that I've ever been a part of for 9 months, went on my honeymoon, and now it's November and the year's almost over. At some point during the summer I chose to start looking in to going back to school, preferably for my MBA. My first choice of programs was at San ( Read more... )

I feel like a kid again. Not so much in the sense of not having any responsibility, having a lust for life, etc., but in the sheer amount of effort that it takes me to do the things which I'm supposed to be doing. It makes me feel like a kid doing homework, or a high-school senior near the end of the school year. Part of that is due to it ( Read more... )

I'm such a noob... I had a cab scheduled to pick me up at 3:30 am for my flight that left at 6 am. I set my alarm on my watch, I showered, I packed, I was all ready to go. I was just gonna nap for 3 hours until the alarm went off, head downstairs, catch the cab, and be in the US in no time ( Read more... )

It's been a while since I had a real update, and I don't know how "real" this one will be. At any rate, in less than 48 hours I will be on a plane headed for Bucharest (Romania). Our development team there is working on a new game, and they're having issues with it. Namely, that it won't run on several phones. These phones are admittedly the ( Read more... )

Well I sent out my introductory email to all of my groomsmen. Most of them haven't met each other, and that's kind of how my friendships have been throughout my life. I've never had a big group of friends who were all friends with each other. It was always one or two friends from this circle, a few from that circle. Birthday parties and large ( Read more... )

I've made a mistake. I was tasked with going over one of my old projects (the first one that I wrote from scratch) and consolidating the code bases to bring everything up to speed. Of course, I couldn't just leave it at that. It's my baby. So I looked at the poor excuse for a resource management system that I had in place and decided I wanted ( Read more... )

I suppose it's been a while, which has a lot to do with how long this post will be. I also really REALLY don't want to do any work right now, so there's that.
