It seems that every conversation I have begins with “how is the job hunt going” and ends with hilarious consequences. A far better way to begin would be “I know someone who’s hiring, would you like to meet him?” See how that just brightens my day? It wouldn’t be nice to reveal that you don’t [...]
Seize the Day, and throttle it. Or just stay indoors and enjoy the gentle breeze of nature. And speaking of Calvin and Hobbes, have you seen Calvin and Jobs? Instead of the anthropomorphic version of Thomas Hobbes, it features everyone’s favorite super-villain Steve Jobs. There’s a certain genius to it all, though I may be [...]
My employment expectations are inversely proportional to the amount of time I’ve spent waiting. At this juncture I fully expect to be rejected if I applied to be a cafeteria worker at clown college. Maybe if I play my cards right, I could become a test subject for experimental surgery. (Don’t play with this guy [...]
I made the below cheat sheet for everyone who wanted a quick breakdown on what’s in the bill (so far, seems like everyday new modifications are passed). The top shows the categories I’ve broken everything down into: Individuals and Families – there’s a lot of specific language which I cut out such as people making [...]
Much like the prized female 13-35 demographic awaiting a call from a mythological heartthrob, I anticipate a possible phone call which could lead to something. I think my odds are slightly better, but maybe I’m just being optimistic. Further bolstering my ego was some paid consulting work I did writing a business plan. I’m not [...]
I have an extremely strong impulse to say not-quite-appropriate things during interviews. Maybe, just maybe my Lord of the Rings reference will get me on the inside track with my interviewer. Maybe they need to be enlightened on my latest exploits in God of War or they’ll want to hear how big a Katamari I [...]
So Warren Spector (Deus Ex, Wing Commander, and Thief) is working on a new project for Disney: Epic Mickey. After the awesomeness of Kingdom Hearts, we all know Disney’s IP can be used for more than pandering to teen girls. I think we can all agree that Kingdom Hearts is just about as good as [...]
Sometimes I feel slightly out of touch with the rich tapestry of hints, anecdotes, allusion, implications, and vague references that girls so easily shroud their actual intents in. Once I’ve finally understood, the girl is so used to my oblivious behavior that the trail of clues will continue to be magnified until I spend most [...]
Another day, another dollar. This comic goes out to all the people interviewing right now because I’m jealous you got a call back and I didn’t. Of course, that means that I have more time to explore Final Fantasy XIII and other forms of entertainment. FF13 has gotten mediocre reviews so I haven’t picked it [...]
Still job hunting with results you’d expect from a guy with this kind of business card. I bought a Wacom Bamboo Pen Tablet that has made sketching much, much easier. I also tried a new technique I heard on Webcomics Weekly to draw in the dialogue first. Previously I’d been putting it in last. I [...]
