My New Job

I have been hired by Comcast Cable, and not as the guy who comes to your house to install your box, either.

I'm a content producer for G4's website. In case you aren't hip, G4 is the videogame channel, so all the hours I've spent exploding things, eating power-ups and finding the extra guy have finally paid off.

No more can my wife give me shit for playing video games, because I'll just go, "It's for WORK! Now play your position and bring me another beer, woman."

After my first 3 days on the job, I can report these important differences between this job and every other job I've ever held: (Danish bon-vivant Marty Barrett suggested I write them down so as not to forget)

1)When I walk into the office in the morning, I don't feel like a crypt door is being closed behind me.

2) My co-workers are interesting, competent people.

3) The company seems to have given some thought to the work enviroment. So far, it's been a tolerable place to spend time.

4)I feel like I was hired because of what I might bring to the company as opposed to being hired because a boss-guy was like, "Well, someone has to do this shit."
