Slacking off in the articles a bit, but it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t. The Sosa article isn’t getting the hits that I expected, but so be it. It was something I had to write, and it’s content. I have a tendency to get too analytical when I talk about baseball, mainly because baseball has so many stats to work with. I’m a big fan of statistics, so I end up trying to make a point, and all of a sudden I’m throwing in batting averages and breaking out the Courier New font for that all important proper spacing.
In light of writing articles, I’ve been trying to work on my book/screenplay. Yes, laugh if you will, I think it’s something that would appeal to a decent amount of people, and if I don’t finish it, I’ll never know. At this rate, writing a book and trying to sell it might be as likely as getting someone to hire me for a full time job, so why not at least have some sense of accomplishment?
As for the title, I learned today that I didn’t get one of the two jobs discussed earlier (the bad commute one). Since I didn’t get it, I can talk about it. It was a “game tester” position for Acclaim Entertainment, which makes video games for various consoles. While it could be very easy to trash Acclaim for not hiring me, I’ll just shrug my shoulders and chalk it up to another batch of bad luck. The commute would have killed my car (even the new one) considering we were talking an estimated 65 miles EACH WAY to work five days a week. But, then again, it was a dream job, and most importantly, income.
Feh.
