Well, this morning I walk into the office and saw that I had a voice message waiting for me. Assuming it was from a customer I'm thinking this is a sign of how my FRIDAY is going to be, busy from the get-go. But to my surprise it’s a message from the Dean at Devry University asking to speak with me about a potential Adjunct Faculty position.

Wahoo!!!

Well, back in the spring I had applied and interviewed for an adjunct faculty position. As part of the interview process I had to teach/present a topic in a classroom setting in front of two deans and several professors. I was a bit nervous (whole other comical story). I had no teaching experiences, though I had done some presentations and tech talks to fellow co-workers. My only qualification was that I had a masters degree for which I earned from the same university, acquired my bachelors there as well and they like to see alumni come back and teach.

So anyway, my point is after that initial interview I was offered a course for which I accepted but then afterwards they had to give it to another professor for he/she needed it to fulfill their fulltime requirements. They said they would call me if they had an opportunity for any summer courses but I never heard back. So enough time has passed that I've kind of forgotten about this.

But now out of the blue it looks like I may have a decision to make. Kind of excited and nervous at the same time. We (Wife and I) will have to rehash everything to make sure this is something I am still able to do. Got to do it this weekend for I am to call the Dean back on Monday.

AC/DC is coming to Rock Band 2, so that would sell me right there.

RB2, there are lots of other "little" things that are making the game awesome. Pick up this months' issue of Gameinformer if you want the info. It's great.

RB2. Don't be a tard and waste $200 on GH4. The only good thing to come out of GH3 was the guitar. And Cliffs of Dover.

Just a few fact corrections for you. The DLC for RB will work with RB2 for FREE. The $5.00 charge is to rip all the songs from the RB1 disc to your hard for use in RB2. And while I believe that Metallica's new album will be on GH4, GH3 will get the new Metallica album first to coincide with the release date. I would say if you already have GH3, get the Metallica album there and spend most of your dough on RB2. 500 songs by the end of the year. 'nuff said.

Thanks everyone! I keep thinking about it. Would be fun. a little extra income, but it would also take away some time from the family and gaming!
