Bloggy...

Doodi's blog totally inspired me to write a blog of my own. I'm not sure I can live up...but here's an update on my life in case you're interested, which you're probably not. lol.

On the work front, my replacement starts Monday. That will be weird. I plan on sitting in the spare chair in my cubicle with a laser pointer to direct her work while I play on my iPhone. Just kidding. I also got a raise yesterday. Sort of odd given the circumstances, but I'll take it!

The lead I was working on for a new job is maybe going to work out. They didn't make an offer due to "timing" (I told them I wanted to stay and collect my severance and they needed someone immediately). But they said they're "very interested" in me for a second position that will be available near my end date. My boss also sent a good recommendation to his contacts at the company and they responded positively. We'll see. I also looked up some random company 1.5 miles from my house to find out they have a Sr. BA job open. And as luck would have it, one of my co-workers just happens to come from there. She's going to get me the inside scoop. It would be cool to be that close to work again. Networking FTW.

I've also been playing in the COD MML league. It sucks to be one of the worst players and know that I'll get traded a lot, but it's still fun. Everyone in the league has been great to play with. I absolutely encourage people to give the league a shot if they have a second round - especially if you've felt shy to join because of your skill level or something. Yes - most of the people playing are ridiculously good and they're competitive. But so far, nobody has been a dick to me or made me feel unwelcome. That's been a huge relief. And giant shout-out to Soup for all the effort he's putting into running this!

So is it LAN planning time yet? WTF!
