SLACKER!!!

yea, that's me. I have been super busy lately. I have been tying up loose ends for the design of set 8 (I was lead on it), as well as getting all the information I need to succeed in my new position. I promise to get back to normal posting. A couple things that I slacked on -

I haven't called my dad in a long time. I promised myself that I would stay in better contact with him and I haven't. I made an even bigger faux pas. I didn't call him on Memorial Day. I have done so for the past couple years and I didn't this year. I feel ashamed to be the son of a Marine.

Also, what kind of son wishes his mother happy mother's day on Myspace, I mean...c'mon now.

I am excited to see Heather/Christopher/Chloe in a couple weeks. We will be in Arizona for Megan's wedding (I probably spelled that wrong, I'm so bad).

Anyway, yea, going to post more often and keep in touch more. I also plan on putting up more pictures from Heather's visit.

Rule #2

Just because you have the title manager does not mean that people automatically respect you, you still have to earn that respect, especially from those that have that position as their superior.

Rule #1

No reading the new Blackberry while in the car driving.

I got the job!

In two weeks time, I will be moving from Research and Development as an Associate Game Designer to Marketing/OP as the Marketing Events Manager. This is a promotion with a pay raise. I will be directly responsible for managing a team of 4 (including myself).

I know what you are thinking. "Why would you give up designing cards/games in order to be a marketing lackey?" It's not that bad, don't get me wrong, this wasn't an easy decision. I will still be able to be creative and this position has more measurable progress/performance based responsibilities. Plus, I will be able to help out with design in my free time, etc.

I apologize for the lack of updates recently, it's been a hectic couple of weeks. I have a bunch of pictures to post, but I need to get them off my Mac laptop.

I wanted to say that I would like to personally thank Ray Powers. Working for him provided much of my organizing experience and he is a great mentor.

I am very excited about this opportunity and I hope to see you all in Seattle at the end of June.

Been awhile

I've been super busy the last couple weeks since I have been back in town. I have been cleaning some stuff off my old laptop.

Las Vegas a couple years ago and no, I don't have your money.
