Visiting Portland (OR) this week! I've only been here a short while, but so far it seems like a cool place.

I don't have much to say about the Minecraft Movie trailer, other than seeing Jack Black as Steve made me think back to that old tumblr post about Steve being the most whitewashed character in history.

Real 'questioning what I'm doing as a living person' hours

Company apparently needed to reduce operating cost vis a vis, uh, me. And others.

I'll be fine, for now - I have a good amount of savings so I'm not in a rush to get re-employed, but if anyone happens to know of any software positions in the west Boston region, would appreciate any info you got.

I'm fortunate that I don't need to immediately find a new job. It's been just under 2 weeks, and aside from some insurance and resume stuff, I've largely been just hanging out and working on personal stuff.

At the same time - one, obviously that can't last forever. And two, it's pretty easy to get bored alone and find days going by without much of note happening.

A friend suggested I move way out west to room with her, and I'm considering the option - nothing really tying me down to this area, right? At the same time, regardless of where I end up, I do need a job at some point and I'm kinda dreading it. I haven't worked a single job so far that I didn't end up kinda hating, largely just out of monotony. I feel like there has to be something out there I could have some real enthusiasm for and actually enjoy doing, but as it stands I'm mainly qualified for web dev, and the tech sector as a whole seems. Ehhhhhh.

At least for now though, I'll live.
