The good news is I really, really like my job. Nearly everything I have gotten to work on has been both interesting and instructional for me. I get to do some really creative things even if nobody is really paying attenion yet-- which is fine because I don't really know what I'm doing yet. I've written up design docs, met with audio, pulled logs from servers, brainstormed mission ideas, done market research, and tested out the game. It has all been fun stuff to do. The other people generally pay me little mind. The producer tells me I have to earn some cred to get respect, which is fine, I'm willing to do that. Otherwise we are a pretty cool bunch here. I will be staying late most of the time, which is ok. Gotta get that cred. So I'm looking for a new place to live that will be closer to work. It basically takes me an hour in the morning and 35 minutes in the evening to commute. I'd like to have that time at home or doing something, and I'll save on gas. Plus I can afford to spend a little more money on rent now, right? I really want a pad in Topanga, but it will probably be too expensive. If you can help, let me know. The bad news is since I like my job and all, I'm stressing a bit. You see, I don't yet have much actual work. I'm not sure how assertive I should be seeking it out, or if I'm best off just chilling for a while. I would feel more comfortable with more work to do, but the producer tells me it will come, so I am trying to just chill out.
