You have reached a new stage in life:
SAVE NOW?
YES NO
/sigh I had a surprisingly busy day and i'm pooped.
LOL i just meant to sign onto my newly revised resume email and check for responses/follow up w/ recruiters and continue my quests in the phantom hourglass.
OH NO, LIFE IS NOT that easy, haha.
I end up signing on preparing for a 1:40 interview w/ another bay area mmo company /barf, and disliking what i was hearing AGAIN. Hm - i CANT even remember the name of the company - i cared THAT MUCH. They're working on a casual mmo sim-like game also main targeting the korean market then gradually moving to the american market.
I don't wanna elaborate how I turned them down but this time, it was HONESTLY really easy to. Albert was right - I HAVE to be picky or else I'm going to be labeled as a producer that doesn't have a dev specialty. I need to focus on agile/six sigma/xtreme programming dev to start with at least.
THEN Apple recruiting called.
THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT APPLE, lol...OH ALL YOUR FAULT.
"We really like your experience, skill-set, and multilingual capabilities but we're really looking for someone with a MBA in Business Administration. You technically COULD get by in production w/ a BA IF you have extremely exceptional experience...which is not the case so, having a MBA would BE REALLY NICE."
...yeah /pwned by the elitest knowledge stick.
SO yeah, the point...lol, I talked to Michael Martin [who's now the dean of Cogswell, whoooda thunk??] and apparently I just need to take 2 classes to get my BA's mailed to me. A math class and a HU elective. SOOO, I'm going to take statistics and some sociology/demographic class and transfer it.
AND...at the same time...study my ass off for the GMAT, and apply for the 1 year accelerated MBA program at SJSU. I might need prereqs for the masters courses...GUH -_-.
SO we'll see... /shrug? I've thought about getting my masters for quite a while...just never followed through with it because It seemed like an unrealistic thought. According to Michael Martin...i was a lot closer than i thought, haha. XD
COOL.
Haha, I talked to Osaka about it for a while...and we put "epic weapons" into a new light.
michie: oh man >.>
michie: he said that my experience was great but they were looking for a project manager with an MBA, DAMNIT.
Osaka: well thats Apple for ya
michie: i don't want my education to be a factor in my job eligibility...b/c that's something I can fix
michie: right now, i'm just a green weapon. i wanna be a blue FREAKING weapon!!
michie: UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!
Osaka: ohohoh
Osaka: you can be epic!
michie: you can be epic, ZOMG!
michie: lol
michie: i'm just trying to be a blue for now
michie: epic is so far away
Osaka: hehe
Osaka: right now i'm just white
Osaka: :P
michie: well technically i'm white too
michie: until i finish these damn 2 quests

Osaka: taking extra classes for another degree should be a breeze
Osaka: stop selling yourself short!
