When You Want To Leave
April 21, 2008
My husband has been over his job for awhile now and while he’s making a good attempt at finding a new one, no one is biting yet. He went to film school and has worked with computers for a long time now but he’s trying to break into the video game business. He took many video game design classes in college and has made lots of prototypes, etc. but he’s being told “you need industry experience” at every turn.
This is very frustrating for both of us. How can you possibly gain industry experience if every job in the industry requires some? I’m fairly certain that the people in positions of power in “the industry” these days came from somewhere…somewhere long ago when they didn’t have that coveted experience. And you know what? Someone took a chance on them and now we just need them to repay the favor.
My husband is damn good at what he wants to do. He talk about it all the time and is always working on new projects but he wants to be part of a company and I want that for him so badly. I feel like I’ve always been able to “fix” his problems to some degree and it’s really killing me that I can’t fix this. All I can do is support him and pray with all my might that someone see’s what I see in him.
Here’s hoping…
update: Ignore the fact that I wrote on this same topic, with lots of the same language months ago. It’s still happening so you’re still hearing about it.
Attention Whore

Can I be a total attention whore? My videographer finished my wedding video and put up our very short “highlights reel” on his website. While I’m not sure how to embed video here, here is the link:
I know it’s probably not nearly as exiting to everyone else but you know what? This is MY blog so I’m gonna’ be an attention whore if I want to :p
Have a happy Wednesday!
Type-a-Thon

Why does it bother me so much that it take my husband 4 days to write an email? It’s not that he types slowly. He’s a fine typer. It’s that he’s a perfectionist. He’s been working on this one email for 4 days now (including 3 hours last night) and he just can’t seem to send it. It’s driving me nuts.
I could never spend that much time on an email. He’ll type a paragraph, re-read it, re-write it, edit it, and then do it all over again…ON THE SAME PARAGRAPH! I, on the other hand, type out what I want and hit send. Spelling mistakes and editing be damned! I just don’t have the time.
I wish that this didn’t bother me so much but it does. It drives me up the wall that he seems so slow at something that I feel should only take a matter of a 1/2 hour…if that. Do any of you have a pet peeve of your husband/boyfriend/friend?
