Yeeeahhhhh. 8 years of service and let go today. First time ever. They're just "reducing headcount". After a year with record profits.

    Are you fucking kidding me. Holy shit! I hate those fuckers. Dude, call me if you need anything. I'll see if I have any contacts. Or if you need a night of stiff drinking.

        I was an Associate Producer at a video game publisher. Vivendi, who owns Blizzard, to be specific. I'd like to stay in the games biz. I also do voice over for games, (or commercials if you hear of spots for those). IT people are voodoo priests as far as I'm concerned. I just want the magic box to work when I turn it on.

        Most of what I did was interaction between the publishers and developers, vendors, licensors, legal, marketing, etc. It was mostly putting out fires and making sure everyone had what they needed to get their jobs done.

    Hooray! Sorta'. I got dumped yesterday morning. They wouldn't even let me pack my shit -- it's all been packed FOR me and is being shipped. Wank!

    On the other hand, more time for sunlight.
