Exploring Washington: The Arrival

So these past two weeks have been a blur. I was laid off two Thursdays ago. So because I want to get into the video game industry I decided to move to Seattle. (It doesn't that hurt my girlfriend and some other friends live up here.) After my lay off, I immediately started applying for jobs. I was gonna take two weeks to make my move but then last Thursday, I got an email about a job interview for THIS Wednesday!  While I was excited it meant that I only had five days to make my move.  So I had a garage sale on Saturday. It was pretty awesome. My roommate and I just sat in the garage and watched all the funny people go through our stuff. I suggest it to anyone who has too much stuff and a free Saturday.  It was awesome entertainment, plus I made money! Anyway, I left early Monday morning. (I made a video blog of my travels and will post it to this entry soon).  I arrived today (Tuesday) before noon and began settling in to temporary home. I'm all moved in now, and am prepping for my interview tomorrow. This is my first interview and while I hope for the best, I'm not delusional about landing a job on my first day here. But now that I'm here I want to start on my new project (details to follow in later posts) where I will explore and learn more about the Indie gaming scene in Seattle. I'm very excited to be in my new city and look forward to sharing all the cool things I find. Stay tuned!
