A Pretty Good Day, This


GSR

All things considered? Today? Pretty cool.

 

First off, it was my first pay day at Microsoft. Corporate policy and social etiquette prohibit me from saying how much I made, but I can provide a visual analogy for you to draw your own conclusions from.

 

Second, speaking of Microsoft, work went pretty well. Things are getting done, commitments are getting sent off, the whole nine NDA'd yards. Couldn't ask for a much better summer job.

 

Third, I've started to put together some ideas for a trip this summer to go see the studio Swert works at. Any other BZPers in the area interested in joining in and making a day of it, shoot me a message!

 

Fourth, an idea for an epic I had in the back of my mind got much more solidified with the sudden presentation of a good villain. Good lord, does that make things easier.

 

Finally, Prometheus. On the biggest IMAX screen in Seattle. For six bucks. Bless corporate discounts.

Glad you found a job (or internship?) that you enjoy doing. I'd ask what it is you actually do, but I think the NDA prevents you from saying so? :P

Have all my jealousy.

*chuckles* I know how much it is roughly. Bless looking at tech blogs all the time.

 

But yeah, feel free to hit me up, I'm honestly looking forward to members visiting all the time. I've had ONE BZP member visit the studio while I was actually working, and that was Kayru. I'd count xccj, but he was working with me.

WIthout going into too much detail, I work on driver-related stuff in Windows. And it's just an internship, but it's full-time with full-time responsibilities, so there's plenty of work.

What can I say? I've got stacks on deck.

Anyways, I figure as long as I'm in the area and actually a semi-responsible adult, I ought to try and meet a few folks. YOLO might be an absolutely abhorrent phrase, but its meaning is actually quite respectable.

 

Also, this blog post was written before seeing the movie. It was spectacular effects wise but augh some of that stuff would've been bad enough in a normal showing, nevermind six stories tall in 3D.
