Annual update

Going to clear out a bunch of stuff from the blog and repost another bunch of stuff. Possibly revive this whole thing again. Been long enough.

Right, let's see, where'd we leave off last? Ah yes, the military. Well, to hold people in suspense no longer, yes, I was indeed made a Corporal. On top of that, I actually received a reward, an honorable discharge and a mental/capability evaluation of 5/5 for everything except handling stressful situations (4/5). I guess it's a success of sorts, considering my actual mental state at the time, though it's intensely ironic as well. Best evaluation of the entire unit and possibly the whole battalion, go figure. Anyway, that's done.

What next? Getting back to work. Didn't take long to get a promotion (plus HR experience - my candidate got picked). Four months later, three more offices in our company are in love with my methods and I get called an IT guru in front of the customer. Me. The guy that can't code to save his life. Ah irony, all I wanted was to be a writer. Speaking of which, applied to Larian again, had a prolonged communication with samples with the company owner, got his Skype, but never called him to get hired. My people need me! Besides, that'd probably mean moving to Belgium, and if I'd have done that my life would probably still be normal.

Oh yeah, and I'm now staff writer/staff/moderator on RPG Codex. Time to die happy, I guess.



Overall, I can't really say it's been a particularly action-packed year until some time this spring.
