A job interview.

A small (two-person, right now) advertising firm, with a lot of steady clients looking to expand their business. It went very well, I think, I don't think I made a fool of myself more than once or twice. It seems that every job interview I have consists of me saying, "Yeah, I can do that" over and over again. This is a better prospect than the other interview, so I guess I'm happy about that.

On the way to an appropriately unhealthy Taco Bell lunch, a voice in my head said, "This is what you're going to end up doing now?" The "game designer" days of my "dream job" seem to be over. I'm having a little trouble coming to terms with that, me and My Ego.

I do plan to talk to some folks at Origins (they still want me, despite my sudden unemployment) about prospects "in the industry," but I don't really want to move. Again. Sigh.

PS - That crap about "first interview in THIRTY YEARS" I posted a few weeks back was a damned lie. I didn't interview at Decipher, but I did at my previous four jobs. I haven't been on many interviews, but it wasn't as dire a picture as I painted.

How long have you been in Norfolk?

Been here since 1997. Mr. Grunt, I ask you again, could you please tell me if you're someone I know as a meat person or not? I'm just curious. Thanks.

Oh sorry about that. Yes, we've met a couple of times and hanging round some of the old moderator boards.

Welcome, Neil! I'm sorry to be so pushy about that, but happy to have you aboard. Come by anytime. :)

No problem. Was gutted to hear of everything that had happened and hope things come together for you soon.
