Ages, again

Once again, months without an update.

The Job

Sadly, the job ended a week ago. I was a contractor, so it was going to happen eventually. I wasn't alone in this, as a "restructuring" resulted in many people being let go. The downside to start-ups is that they have to trim staff from time to time, to keep themselves going until the next round of funding.

I've been working 27 years -- 17 of which in the software industry. In all this time, I can honestly say this was the funnest job I've ever held. I actually enjoyed going to work in the morning. I'm bummed they had to let so many people go, as I'd really been looking forward to making Multiverse my long-term career. I'm hoping that I'll be able to return one day, should another round of funding arrive.

Until then, I need to start the job search again. I've been looking into other gaming options in the Bay Area -- EA, Trion, Cryptic, Linden. I'd be interested in working on Stargate Worlds, if Cheyenne were in a decent location (i.e. here, rather than in Mesa, AZ). :)
