Very sorry to read that they let you go.<br /><br />On the other hand, I’ve little doubt that this setback will be a relatively short one for you — the crappy economy permitting — given your history of knowing what you want to do in life and finding a way to do it (the game articles, the rulebook writing, and now the video game thing).<br /><br />If, for whatever reason, you <i>do</i> end up coming back to California, know that mi casa es su casa if you need somewhere to stay while you hunt for apartments, jobs, etc. (Granted, Palm Springs is not an ideal base of operations, but it’s there if you ever need it.)Bricriu Nemthengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09811634218911958248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14744861.post-85745996948663507282009-11-10T09:51:45.627-08:002009-11-10T09:51:45.627-08:00A lot of that sounds very familiar to me, though m...A lot of that sounds very familiar to me, though my run at WotC was shorter - 14 months to the day. I did move home, and went with full-time freelance writing. But I really can't recommend that road.<br /><br />But while I may, in fact, still hold some bitterness I have never regretted moving my family and taking the dream job working on games. I learned a lot, met a bunch of great people, and changed my perspective forever.<br /><br />But getting laid off still sucks.<br />--OwenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
