It’s been another long stretch without a post. This is most likely due to the fact that not much interesting happens when one is doing a job search from day to day. I’ve been going to interviews, writing e-mails, and going to more interviews. It’s difficult trying to find the right fit. I usually wouldn’t…… Continue reading More Culture Shock in San Francisco

San Francisco – Unemployed Life
As most of you already know, I’ve made another big jump and have landed myself in San Francisco. So far I’ve managed to get myself a nice apartment and have jumped head first into the job market.

Just a stupid site I thought you would enjoy… Make sure your sound is turned on though!!!!! http://isd.usc.edu/~barney/Pics/romance.swf By the way, I managed to corrupt all my hundreds of MP3 files and other important information when I upgraded.
