Well this place has certainly been a hub of activity in the last month, hasn’t it?  ^_^

Usually when things go dead up here its because things have gotten too busy in the real world.  But for once, the level of inactivity on my blog was actually doing a good job of mirroring the level inactivity in my life. Considering my last words here revealed I was out looking for work, you’d think that would be a horrible, terrible fact.

The anti-search job search

In a manner of hours of going live with my updated portfolio and writing about it here, a former Lime alumnus contacted me about a job opportunity.  After a relatively quick interview I accepted a design position at WePlay, a startup focusing on social networking for youth sport leagues.  This past Monday was my first day, and so far, so good.  Certainly refreshing to be diving into a new project, that’s for sure.

To be honest, I was always confident that my search would be short once I started looking for full time employment.  But I thought I would at least have to open up craigslist at least once or twice.  Seriously, it was a no-hunt job hunt.

Catching up on my slacking

I did have some freelance work to keep myself occupied, but I also had serious amounts of down time that I used to catch up on slacking off.  I slept strange hours.  I ventured on day trips when the rest of the world was chained to their desks.  I watch many movies and caught up on a lot of gaming.  Yep, the good life to be sure.  If not for those nagging human needs of shelter and sustenance, and the need of money to pay for such tripe things.

And if pigs could fly, blah blah blah.  Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to readjust myself to reality.
