Seriously...you people need to get out more!!

M-Th: 11-3pm with a 1-1.5 hour lunch
Fri: 11-2 with no lunch but 18 holes after work

Don't work on weekends unless Zaino is considered work.

Mark

P.S. - Don't think I have it easy. It will get busy again and for 18 months, I worked 20 hour days, 7 days a week. I was smart enough to start my own company!!

That seems like a pretty cool job... what kind of things should I be taking in college to head that way?

It's called the 4 year University dedicated to teaching students on how to develop games

Anyone know the name of the University? I obviously forgot it.

8AM-10PM Monday thru friday and 5 hours per day Saturday and Sunday. 15 minute lunch, 30 minute food induced coma, 15 minute total time to update threads on S2ki. Extra work time during the normal 14 hour day, priceless!

Thats the cool thing...I ended up getting lucky and knowing someone who worked in the industry. I worked my way up the ladder from answering phones, e-mails, etc...to getting onto the Design Team.

I don't have access to PS2 games...the only games that I have access to change are EverQuest and the expansion (in development) EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin.

Seriously, if you're interested in this type of stuff and do plan on going through college I suggest taking a lot of graphic design classes, and know how to use various tools and programs...(MS WORD, Excel, Photoshop...) I say look into programming if you get a chance. In my case I just got lucky and worked my ass off to get where I am.

Just my opinion though

The only day that is a bear for me is Monday. I have to carpool the kids to school which means we leave the house at 6:30AM!! Tuesday thru Friday, I leave whenever I want to and come home whenever I want to. Typically I will get to work around 10 and leave around 4 with an hour or two lunch in between. I have to leave late and come home early to miss the traffic.



All times are GMT -8. The time now is 10:58 PM.
