I'd like to say that a good bit has happened in the near two months since my last post; I suppose you could argue either way. Since graduation, my wife and I have moved back to our hometown and begun the wonderfully exciting and adult world of hunting for work. We've had a few nibbles here and there but nothing that has come to fruition so far. My list of offers from places is short and runs the gamut from Sony Santa Monica to Starbucks; sad to say, I am still unemployed.
But as horrible as it sounds, I'm getting used to it; not so much in that I am perfectly happy to be living without income but rather I am starting to get back into working in After Effects and Maya as well as doing something with my hands in terms of traditional media. In addition to getting into the unemployed workflow, I've also been trying to hit up the social network a bit, reconnecting with some of the great people I met at GDC. I don't want to be the kind of person that uses people just for getting work, I honestly do want to get to know these people because wouldn't you know it, some of them can be pretty damn interesting!
There are still a few more irons in the fire as far as jobs go and flame hasn't completely gone out yet; it seems that the hardest part about not having a job is trying not to let it drive you too crazy to the point where you can't get anything else done. Hopefully I can at least be a bit more faithful to myself in terms of posting on this blog during this period. Hopefully.
