I Now Work for Blimey! Games

Hey,

Life changes fast. One day your comfortable at your current job, although it may have its ups and down, its a really kick ass job working as a game programmer for a company no one has ever heard of. The next day, you find out that the company is going through a restructuring due to financial reasons and you find yourself without a job. Then, mere hours later, you’ve just signed with another, larger game studio. Strange?

Let me recap. At 9:30am I recieved a phone call from Jake letting me know that I have been officially laid off. I go to the office to collect my things and to say goodbye to the coworkers that I had such a great experience with. At 11am I have surgery. I was in serious pain for the rest of the day! After the surgery I grab a bite to eat with all the old members of Whatif. By 3pm I contacted a studio that had made me an offer a couple weeks prior and I negotiated for my new job, working remotely for Blimey! Games, based out of London.

It was a day to remember! I have to admit though, at the end of the day, I came out ahead!
