| | On the subject of the Event Horizon of Nerdiness, it's subjective and varies with whatever we're talking about. I'd say that for MMORPGs like WoW, the Event Horizon is the point at which you do something like get married in-game, or spend more time in-game than you do at a job. With Warhammer, the painting of the figurines isn't necessarily the Event Horizon. After all, the figurines are blank when you buy them...it's just common sense that you'd want to paint them, if only to tell them apart on the table.
In other news, I was made aware yesterday of a job opportunity opening up, which would allow me to break into my chosen field, give me some great experience, and earn me some money. It's a 2-4 month contract position working at an entry/junior level, for a well-respected company. Naturally, I sprang for it as soon as I got the email yesterday, but it wasn't until today that I learned a little more about it.
It's in the Twin Cities.
I am completely baffled as to how a staffing agency in Minnesota got ahold of me for this. The only thing I can think of is that I submitted my resume to them shortly after I graduated, they kept it on file, and their database just now identified me as a match for a job opening. Amazing.
So now I'm looking into possibly moving home in March, working this contract position and building up some money and experience, paying rent on my room out here in SA even though I won't be living in it, and picking up my grad program where I left off in August. I really don't have anything to say here, beyond what you might expect. I'm disappointed that I won't be staying out here in SA, but on the other hand there's nothing really holding me here at the moment. I'm happy to be moving back home (good food, yay), but this means I'll have tetmporarily suspended my goal of living on my own. Of course, this is all if they decide to hire me, which isn't necessarily a given yet. I'll find out next week sometime, after the phone interview.
In other (other) news, I got ahold of a copy of this thing in electronic format. Don't ask how or why. I regret that I don't have a screen capable of displaying its pages at readable sizes.
