Yearly update.

Since February huh? I have been busy since then. So let's go over the highlights and low points of '08.

Good times (Otherwise known as a room full of people throwing around high fives and Prince comes in wailing on guitar. Purple rain mother fucker.)

- Found gainful employment at a video game company. Turbine. Started March 16, 2008.
- Two days before I left my other job was told that they were to be shut down within a couple of months. I miss Ibis.
- Moved in with Jess in Pawtucket.
- Almost paid off all my debts (Besides car payment)
- Bought a HD TV.
- Started budgeting and controlling my spending habits.
- Actually had money in the bank.
- Found that assisting gamers with their technical gaming issues can be rewarding.
- Worked two jobs at one time several times and found it to be joyous.
- Went back to Ibis and realized how much I missed it.
- Met so many new friends but I keep realizing how much of a shut in I enjoy being.

Well... there are the pros. Here is the fuckery.

- Was let go from Turbine ten days before X-mas.
- Got to see Ibis get shuttered down. That was extremely sad.
- Had to expand my job search to other states and moved back home. I miss Jess.
- Found that assisting gamers with their technical gaming issues is too stressful. Being let go was kind of a relief.
- Didn't get to do as much as I wanted to but that is alright I guess.
- Another 360 broke again.

2009 has been interesting

- Started working for a law firm
- Trying to find a new place in CT
- Going to have to move from one state to another. Ugh.
- Met more awesome friends
- Got asked to be a best man at a wedding. I'll let you know how that goes.

Anywho, back to work. I'll try to update this more often.
