Today it seems I am interested in any kind of job in any industry. When I was doing my Masters in Comp Sci, I eventually settled on the video games industry as my target. Officially, my project was in animation. I figured this was good enough, as it was focused on programming and 3D technologies. That isn't far off from video game design. I also took courses in Video Game design, animation, and Distributed Systems. Each of these courses shed some light on a large part of the video game industry. They all involved serious programming too. As a guy with not too much programming experience, these were good courses and it is a testament to my versatility and intelligence that I was able to pass those courses. Today, I applied for two very different jobs at the Ubisoft office in Toronto. The first job was relevant to my work experience was a software developer in test position. The second job was somewhat more related to my schooling and was a game developer position. Jobs at places like Ubisoft are in extreme demand and there is very little chance that I will even be sent a rejection letter for the software test job. Still, it is important that I apply for jobs which I, either now or in the past, have some interest on a personal level.
I have been thinking of taking a vacation. I know of a beach resort in Miami FLA that costs only 90$ per night. I have been there once and liked it, so I want to drive down there now and spend a week there. While I should not spend that money, this is a perfect time to have a vacation and there would be no better vacay than a long drive and sitting on the beach in a cool city in the 32 degree weather. I am not sure if I will do this as I seem to have some weird kidney infection that I need to see a doctor about. We'll see.
