I have been thinking about which second-job I really want to take...each of the offers I have provide enough pay to cover my ' required' expenses, but it would be nice to have even more extra cash...

On one hand, I could take a job that I know would be more enjoyable, but with less pay. Or, I could take the job that pays more, but would be less enjoyable.

If I' m gonna work 2 jobs, I would at least like to enjoy some part of my day.

This is what' s on my mind...for today at least.

So, what' s on your mind today?

Take the good job. The enjoyable one.

I am thinking about videogames, but that' s my job.

What' d you do in your job Joe?

I' m also thinking about getting a job. Went to a few ' Game' stores today, picke dup an application form in one and was asked to drop off a CV in a second one. A job in a game shop would be great though. I remember as a kid thinking people in those shops were useless... not knowing when a certain game I was dying for was coming out. At least I' d know and be able to help.

I' m also thinking about how much money I should take to the pub with me tonight...

I beta test video and computer games. Not at home, but in an office.

Hey, Joe, what' s it like to work at a videogame store?

When it' s slow, do you get to play games all you want?

Thinking about?
Lots of stuff I guess
1. Why am I in a crappy mood - reason = left home alone all day, no one to talk to so I keep quiet and when people come home I wish to keep quiet but instead get annoyed

2. What do I need to buy - garbage bags, school supplies.....

3. What to do after I graduate - I dont know

4. What time to go for supper - 6 but I have to walk so soon

Hmm that' s all for now
Also thought/worked on my music library and some games
I am beta testing a couple now but just on my PC, I don' t get paid

Beta test games in an office? So do you get many games to test? How long do you get each game? lol, it sounds exciting though I don' t know if it is in reality... having never beta tested a game before.

Oh, and because I know you are all wondering, I survived the pub spending only about a fiver on diet coke. I' m er... trying to watch my figure

You people have a better leisure time than me. Schools is starting later and ending later and homework and homework and housework and sleep. wow! what a day! oh yea, practicing piano is the best thing to do!

This is a follow-up to my last post...

I decided to keep the more enjoyable job...the higher paying job, after personal considerations (time and $$ spent on gas), just wasn' t paying THAT much more.

Today, I' m thinking about how to re-work my budget to take care of all my bills, put away some money for Xmas and kid' s birthdays, still get a few XBOX games, and put money aside for personal property taxes (due Dec. 31st).

What a life...think my hair will be fully grey by year' s end...

the ds is on my mine its allways on my mine!!!!!!

Hmmm my school. It demands so much.. Storyboards due.... Posters are due... it' s so much stress. So that' s what' s on my mind.

What are the storyboards for?

I take it that you are an artist of some sort?

whats on my mind is how usa has 200,000 pow' s. prisoners of the war on drugs. the fact that a 60 year old woman with glacomma (sp?) (who needs to use a vaporiser to ease her pain) gets caught and thrown in jail, as in amsterdam, you can have a bit of hash with your coffee while talking to a police officer (off duty). the fact that people get put into jail for a plant. sure one could argue that heroine and opium are made from plants, but thats my point. they need a man made process to become that way. man made beer, god made pot. who do you trust?

today i am stressed, work sucks and i quit my other job, science sucks and I think I may have made a mistake when choosign a career. I have to clean my house, but that also sucks. and the weather is miserable.

What' s on my mind? We' ve only been living in Virginia for approx. 4 months and now my dh has been offered another job in Connecticut! More money? yes. Better benefits? yes. But I' m soooooo tired of moving!

What' s on my mind today? Worries about the Official Xbox Magazines, $%#@$% damn things! After I purchased my Xbox, there was a postcard to request 1 free magazine. So, I sent that in, got a magazine ALONG WITH AN INVOICE!!. Surprisingly, I recieved another magazine. I' ve definitely been signed up WITHOUT my consent. So, I refused to pay to those (#*$&@#, and the " Final Notice" invoice came, threatening to cut my so-called " suscription" if they don' t recieve payment by September 23! PLEASE give me advice on what to do? Should I lag payment or pay? If I don' t pay, is there gonna be lawsuits? Sorry, I am not so much into law and business.

I don' t work in a videogame store. I don' t think I could ever do that. Too much like working at McDonalds in that you have to deal with lots of customers and you work in a very small space. Let' s not forget that the wages suck and the experience isn' t good for much other than to show you can handle and keep a basic job, handle money, and deal with the public. The last two are things I never want to worry about in a job ever again, even thouugh I did them well for the short time that I did them (worked at a movie theater for a coupe years with the public before finally taking over the projection booth forever).

1. Yes.
2. Depends on what is available at the time and how many " projects" we have going. We are usually divided up into at least two or three teams. Right now I am on the biggest team.
3. Depends on the developer. Usually for AT LEAST a month, usually more. We have to test each revision of the game and make sure old bugs were fixed as well as check for new ones.

I' m wondering where all the September 11th stuff is at. Last year it was all over tv but this year it' s hardly even mentioned...I think that' s sad.

Today I am contemplating where I am in my life and where i want to be. I am slowly getting there.

I also was contemplating how to make a " pirate wench" costume for Hallowe' en

A " pirate wench" constume definatly sounds interesting...
