Ho ho ho, I finally update. This is for the people who, for some strange reason, still come to this page, in hopes of finding something new to read. Here’s the deal: I quit/was fired from my job, about 2.5 weeks prior to when I had planned to leave, so I have a lot of free time on my hands. This time will be spent:

• Making this site work again, and writing about some freakin' GAMES!
• Designing/developing nathandemick.com. I figure that the blog should go there, since it's more a personal thingsol.
• Redesigning hartfloors.com
• Buying a new computer. I think I'll start with a Shuttle XPC. I can't justify the expense of a Macintosh right now.
• Working on various other things, such as a project for my friend Phil, a captcha generator, and a financing program for my house.

Man, it feels good to be done with that job. The thing is, a job should have at least one of these four things:

1. Satisfaction from the work (i.e. the work is fun or challenging)
2. Satisfaction from co-workers (i.e. the people you work with are cool)
3. Satisfaction from monetary compensation (i.e. you get PAID)
4. Enables a particular lifestyle (i.e. flexible hours, lets you do something a normal job wouldn't allow)

Now, my job at Grip had none of these things, which means that there was no point to me being there. I put in my notice last Friday after waiting about a month; today my former employer sensed that I was not motivated at all to finish the utter crap that he’d saddled me with, and told me to go home. Let’s be honest, I could have asked to finish out the next two weeks, but I just didn’t care enough.

So, what next? Well, I’m not unemployed right now, I’m “freelancing.” I also have an interview at OSU next week, which I’m going to just for the heck of it… I’m not sure if I want another office job at the moment.

Anyway, check back daily… there’ll be tons of new web content from yours truly. I’m actually pretty excited; this could have been the kick in the pants that I needed.
