Update
alright, it's been a while, guess i should update. Well, work wise, things are crazy. My job for starters. They've pushed back the release date on our game to Feb on 2008. Kinda sucks, cause we're supposed to get a release bonus when it comes out. That's been pushed back along with the game. I am prolly gonna ask for a raise next month since I would have been there a year and I think I'm entitled to one. No harm in asking, All they can say is no right? Hmmm, I was approached by a company in LA called Delirious Games. They are producing a game for a Steven Spielberg licensed Film. At the moment I am in the testing phase for the possition. If i get the job, I'll be doing freelance work for them as well as working at Ironclad. My life is soon to be a heck of a lot busier I tell ya. I'm also working at the Vancouver Art Gallery and have my next 3 weekends booked up for work. Not Complaining though, it's $200 a day at the Gallery. I also have a webpage to make for an epoxy injection company that should get me a few hundred as well. In all, my life is too full to do anything, I really need a holiday. Cant wait till the summer. Don't expect me at institute either. I'm really not gonna have time for it. Kinda is lame, but I really need the money right now if I wanna do my mission next year. I just hope I land this job with the company in LA. Could be looking at making about 5000-6000 a month(depending on how much work i get done)
Other news. My dad has been given a promotion at work with a 20% pay increase. Which is great. We'll finally be able to get a mortgage this year and get our own house. Has only taken us 10 years of scraping to get here, but it's great to finally have somewhat of a promising future ahead of us.
Hmm, what else. I guess with all the work I'm doing I'm isolating myself more and more from everyone. Guess it sounds familiar to some of you, but I am trying my hardest to do what i can to get by. Don't have the luxury of having parents pay for my school or loans when I leave next year. Don't have the luxury of having free room and board. Everything I have achieved thus far in my life has pretty much been through my own dedication and hard work. Guess I can lift my head up high on that one and be pleased with myself(Not pride though, I know everyone works hard).
Sorry that all I seem to be talking bout right now is money. Just that's all that seems to be in my head lately, trying to figure out so much stuff right now with how I can afford some things. Guess when you focus your life strictly on money it starts to become a stupid focus. I know it's not right, but it's human nature. Nothing else or no one else that is making me think about anything else.
I really miss hanging out with a lot of you. Jared, Itzel, I always feel awkward asking either of you to hang out just cause I know how much you two enjoy spending time with one another. I don't and won't be the person who will get in the way of that. Emily, things between us have become really hard and it's as if you don't even want my friendship right now, so that's hard to. Don't want to beg to hang out, but it may come to that. Marci, you're always there for me when I need a good friend to talk to, Thanks for doing what you can from a few thousand miles away. Kristi, same goes to you, and How are the boy things going lately, havn't heard the gossip in a few days. Kevin, what can I say, You're a great guy, just have some self confidence will ya! HAHA But anyway, Canucks made it to the next round!!! Claudia, I doubt you'll even read this, but you should give me a call sometime. Since Marci left, I barely see you anymore. Everything ok?
Anyway, bedtime soon, Been working on this test too long got a major headache. Take easy everyone
