Had an interview today. Got hired an hour and a half later. I work for NFL.com, but it's still the NFL. Short-term quality assurance gig testing the site. Don't exactly know what yet, but it pays more, so I'm happy.

Last day at Activision is tomorrow night.

Didn't you just start at Activision?

I think you've been through more jobs than anyone else on this message board in the time I've been here, xD.

Yeah, I thought you had just started there, as well?

In any case, good luck and congrats! It sounds easy, but I could be wrong. In any case, money is good.

Sadly my first though was "why not the NHL instead?"

Second thought is, wow, how much more are they paying you?

And does that mean no Starcraft, or since you already ordered it is it still coming?

But yeah, why leave a permanent position for a short term gig?

Activision wasn't permanent. Project is ending in three weeks. All Activision QA jobs are on a per-project basis.

Order is in, I'm still getting my order regardless since I've already paid for it. I still get my free game too when the project I was working on hits stores.

NFL pays more, but it's only six weeks on the project. However, it's more technical, so it actually strengthens my resume and skills where Activision didn't. Activision's gig was for a single project, lasting about four months. I was there for three and a half.

And then after that, I don't know. I still have unemployment, and a possible interview at MTV.

Whenever they notify me, so don't know.

Also, I love this theme:

Heh, it is a great theme. You would almost expect some of the music used for sports to be in a video game.

Do you know what it is that you would be doing at MTV?

If by NFL you mean national forensics league, that's awesome; otherwise, you probably work for some no-name shithole.

National forensics league? That would be interesting if it existed.

Flamer post aside, I would still like to mention that you being linked to football is really weird.

Ooh, the National Forensics League would be cool. I'm stealing that from the flamer and calling it my own. Can't stop me.

So was me being linked to the government, but we all got over that one too.
