I got a new (old) job!
 
Just wanted to share some good news.

Some of you may remember that until a little over a year ago, I was in Creative Development at Disney Interactive Studios (where I had been for about 6 years).

When I was laid off with a ton of other people I decided to take the opportunity to pour myself full time back into school, where I now have a year to go for my Bachelors in Project Management.

With unemployment running out in a couple of months, I was starting to sweat a little. Thankfully, I found a job that will suit my needs perfectly...oddly enough...with Disney Interactive Studios.

Starting next week I am going back to Disney as a QA Tester. This is several "steps down" from where I was previously, but I really wanted something with little to no responsibility (from a management standpoint) so I can still have plenty of bandwidth to devote to school. Fortunately, with my wife working full time as well, the QA gig will provide me with more than enough monetarily to sustain myself and my contribution to the household.

Once I'm done with school, it will be back to Creative Development or Production, but in the mean time, I am super happy to have this job :-)

Dude. Congrats, man. Hope you did something fun to celebrate. :) When you think about it, everything must have happened for a good reason. While you were laid off, you had great opportunities with Kevin, and you were able to make a lot of progress with school. Big accomplishments with perfect timing if you ask me. :)

Blackrock sadly doesn't exist anymore. Shuttering that studio was part of my wave of layoffs :-/

Congrats, though.
