Re: First job interview next week
Anyway, I had a thread on MD, not Baltimore, but not far from it which had some good info. - http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=555304
Hunt Valley area, but anyway, bit scarier now for me since one of the big employers got dropped from publisher to "go indie" on sale, but bump will be more likely, so that hub is shrinking, shame.

Np- it was VERY good, but I love She Crab Soup, found in Charleston, Savannah etc. Kinda like good Hot and Sour soup- you just can't make it the same at home.

Re: First job interview next week
Well I didn't take the first job because there was significant travel involved.
But I interviewed for another one this week, got it, and agreed terms today.
Not very good money, but benefits and a company vehicle and laptop, so it will do for now. Who knows, with pay raises it could turn out to be great.
Start Monday!

Re: First job interview next week
Congrats!
I'm on the dregs of the unemployment extension and have been told to apply to any work not even in my field that's above minimum wage...
Awesome that, considering I'd spend at the very least twice minimum wage to cover childcare...

I don't think I'd make a very good squad jockey anyway, I'd have a fit and slap someone for being a poncey twonk
going to an MIT games lab thing tonight in Cambridge, should be interesting, well probably not, it will probably be a geek fest and rubbish, but we'll see.
