As Spring rolls in, here's an update on us.
We're still trying to sell our house and have a highly interested potential buyer. Sadly, things are complicated by the discovery of pipes damaged over the Winter. This makes financing almost impossible without fixing the damage first. We don't have a spare $8K to make the repairs but the potential buyer is interested in doing so. We're still waiting to see if and how this might work out.
Christy's job is going well. Anyone interested in seeing some of her work can check out the Champions Online website. Like any job, it has it's share of complications and problem people but things are much better than what they are at her previous job. The positives can be seen in the company sending all it's employees, with a guest, to Las Vegas later this month for a weekend.
I'm still looking for employment, though in the past few months I've had more interviews than I had in four years of job hunting in Indianapolis. I did apply for a Content Designer position at Cryptic, took the test and made it to the Phone Interview stage. Sadly, I didn't pass muster there. I guess I still need to learn more about the industry and what makes a good designer. I still have a possibility or two and I continue to look for others. Hopefully something will work out soon.
On a brighter note, this past weekend we went to Hakone Gardens in Saratoga. The place is beautiful and was fun to visit. The only problem was it being over 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so it was a bit warm. Afterwards we had an early sushi dinner at Masu. The eel rolls and shrimp gyoza were especially oishi (delicious).
