By which I mean, sorry for the gap of nearly a year.
I'm not sure if I believe the new Tribe spin, but having browsed a few of the Tribe team blog pages and stuff, I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and be all hopeful-like.
So I'm uploading new content. I've been shooting again, and I always forget just how much I love doing it. I mean, damn, if I could get paid to look pretty for the camera...
Anyway. Lets see, updates since graduation:
January: Was unemployed, and in Santa Cruz.
February: Landed a job as a stitcher at AMT in San Jose. Commute sucked, but it paid my rent and bought me food and gave me a little of extra dosh aside from that. Gas prices were teh suck.
March: Started wrapping up at AMT, and started the interview process at Google. It's a long story, maybe one I'll post here later.
March 31: Celebrated birthday. Went to Davis. Finally got the call from the recruiter - I HAD A JOB! Commence REAL celebration!
April: Started at Google. Friend who brought me in left the company due to stupidity with the hiring system. Fell off a scooter at high speed, and ended up with an open workmans comp claim (ouch).
May: 3 month contract extended. I begin looking for somewhere else to live.
June: Moved to San Jose. Rent is literally double what I was paying in Santa Cruz, but the commute is SO much better, the shuttle picks up near my house, I don't have to tackle 17 to get home, and I have a 2-bedroom place all to myself. For the first time, I am not sleeping in the same room with a sewing machine and I can walk around the apartment naked at will. Started working with Fire Conclave Santa Cruz to get a Burning Man ticket (discount).
July: Dumped over 4th of July weekend. Swearing off teh manz.
August: Prepped for Burning Man, working with Fire Conclave in Santa Cruz, ran around faires like a chicken with no head, finally made it out there.
Sept: Recovering from Burning Man and launching into my New, Improved, Still-Crazy Social Life. Lost the battle with July line 2. ;)
Whee.
