Wow! A zany couple of weeks.

So, I'm typing this from our new laptop, while sitting in the living room with Ann. The new laptop is not the big news however. On November 1st, I got laid off. The studio I worked at was shut down with no real notice, and for the first time in over 12 years, I was without a job. Needless to say (but o.k. to type), this was a bit of a concern.

After a couple of days of worry (mostly by Ann :) ), I got a call from THQ, the publisher that had just shut down Mass Media. Before I go any farther, let me stress that there was no ill will towards THQ. When they shut us down, it was purely a business descision, and they were very kind with the exit deal they gave us. 'Nuff said.

Anyway, I went in for an interview on November 12. Everyone that I met with was very positive and excited to have me working at the main office, so I felt pretty good.

Last Monday, I got a call and they offered me the position of Director of Project Managment. This is a HUGE opportunity, and a gladly accepted.

Tomrrow is my first day. Wish me luck!
