Lessons from 'The Terminator'

Hello everyone!

...specifically, a lesson from Terminator 2: Judgment Day: "There is no fate but what we make for ourselves." (90s movies are freaking phenomenal, by the way.)

I took this particularly to heart in the past month, for the simple fact that I have searched for (and successfully located) a new job over the past month. Long story short, my current employment wasn't exactly what I hoped it would be, and ultimately turned into a situation where I genuinely loathed going to work. To the point of the lesson learned, I took matters into my own hands, and actively sought out a different employer.

Great news on that front - as of April 15th, I will be at said new job, web development, which seems on its face to match more of what I'm looking for - newer languages, smaller projects, more valuable experience with said newer languages. I am pretty excited to start with the new work; the 15th cannot come soon enough.

How this relates to here (i.e. Seeking Infinity), is that it ends a long "on-edge" period for me. A large part of the delay in Journey 3 was caused by the stress and general malaise caused by switching jobs and the uncertainty it brought about. Now that the situation is firmly in hand, I have a much better outlook - myself and Tormod can now finish plans for Journey 3 without my ludicrous worries hanging over head. While we can't, yet, make any guarantees as to when it will start, we are drawing steadily closer.

That's all for now.

Congrats!

Congrats on moving towards something better - I noticed the loathing growing for Epic over the past few times we've met, so happy to hear you're making a good move. d(^_^)

Kicking names and taking some ass...

Congrats on the new job. Don't think that's going to stop me from asking you to apply for jobs in De Pere... I'll take your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle... NO PRISONERS!!
