...week deux

Cool times here...I'm starting to feel of use to the team. In fact I got myself some more short-term responsibility on something really cool. Bad news is that I'm here at work on Sat but the good news is the crunches here are short...I'll be done on Thursday!

Most jobs have been like this. At 3do I got there 2 or 3 months before Air Attack2 was done and they were like oh don't worry we'll just get you up to speed and maybe you can help out with some multiplayer levels. 2 weeks later I owned a couple levels in the game - including the second. Not that I'm complaining...I love the challenge!

...great first week

So this past week was my first at work. What a great place. It's strange being in such a large place again...there are over 200 people there now! And as stated at the company meeting, my hiring grew the company design department by 20%.

I always feel weird my first month or so at a new job...you want to do your best work but at the same time you are determining all the process at the new company. Also trying to remember people's names is always challenging.

Ok now some pics...oh man I need a better camera...c'mon Iphone 2!




OK, those first 4 are from an all Harmonix band show I saw on saturday in Boston. Good times, but expensive drinks! $10 dirty vodka martini (well it was kettle one, but all they had was top-shelf!).

Friday weely (not spelled wrong) lunch was awesome. Roast beef and lobster sandwiches, chicken wings, clam chowd(a), and pie...that reminds me I have to go work out!

I rented a zipcar and went to trader joes for my first food excursion. I spent near $300!

Mmm best and cheapest Indian food I've had outside of England.


Someone posted on the newgroups that this band Semi Precious Weapons was playing on Wednesday...it turns out they were really fun. Check 'em out when the album comes out this august: http://www.semipreciousweapons.com/
