Acquired two pretty new plant pots at Goodwill for repotting of plants.

Did laundry.

Napped with Spanky.

Got a contract gig writing for NCSoft, makers of Guild Wars, Aion, and others. The pay is not optimal, but the opportunity is a good one for broadening my experience. I'll learn new stuff and I'll get to work with people I really like; I already know at least half of the writers on the team (hi [livejournal.com profile] bhagwanx! hi [livejournal.com profile] trueunicorness!). I start next Tuesday for a contract that may run anywhere from 1-3 months. It was like old home week walking into the place for my interview. So...

Yippie!

It might not be perfect, but what a relief. Sounds like it will be kinda fun, too. Congrats!

You will also love working with Angel McCoy and of course Mr. Grubb. Their event manager Karen Reynoso is also entirely awesome. They have a fine team over there, and it's cool you'll be a part of it.

If you haven't met Angel, definitely seek her out. She's one of the more talented fiction writers I know, and I think you'd get along great. She's currently in an anthology with Neil Gaiman, which I think is swell.

Imagine our dogs rolling around on their backs on the carpeting. That's how I feel for you! And the "learning something new" part is an added bonus! Yay!!

Congratulations! But I think you're going to be at the NCWest office downtown, if you're with Julia and Scott. Angel and I are in Bellevue, with the ArenaNet offices (ArenaNet = a part of NCWest = a part of NCSoft).

It is a good team, top to bottom, so have fun!

Jeff
