Luckily, I speak French haha. 

YOU NEVER TOLD ME HOW AWESOME THE SEATTLE LIBRARY IS!!!!!!

Fairly over my cold, it's nice out and I got some new music in the mail.  Today is turning out a-ok.

Let them fire you and collect unemployment boiiiiii!

@BuzzersonKillwell @tarzioo_ Thank you!  I don't have exact dates yet but should be confirming tomorrow! Coffee/record hunting mayhaps? 

congrats!!
i'd be in for grabbing a coffee too if i'm not working 

Babes! This girl is heading to Seattle next week for the final interview! Ha-cha!

My dog yelps along to Godflesh... my cats scramble when I put on Sutekh Hexen

I just mixed it with water. Tasted like basically nothing. Didn't upset my stomach or anything. I've tried meal replacements before and they've almost universally fucked with my stomach in one way or another.
 
 
I've learned tonight that my cats hate Full of Hell. So far I've noticed they hate Thou, The Body, Full of Hell, Whips/Chains, and Converge. They're fine with Pig Destroyer at deafening volumes, except for the guitar solo in Towering Flesh. At least one of them fucking HATES that.

I need to come up to Seattle and visit you guys soon. Maybe this summer. Or once a show I want to go to is going to be up there. 

Ah cool. I don't really know too much about that role but  I'm sure the interview will go well!  keep us updated.  It would be cool to have another VC friend in the area.
 
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm eagerly waiting for my first paycheck so I can really enjoy Seattle. =) 

Welp, I got offered the job. I'm gonna take it, and I start the 13th of next month. Fuck. Yes. It'll feel good to work a full time job again.

Working a 3am to noon inventory shift. I've gotten too good at the monthly inventory. Finished that AND all the regular opening shit too. A normal open shift starts at 7, so my opener just walked in and was like "Wait...what the fuck are we supposed to do until we open at 9?" I just shrugged and said "Fuck around on our phones?"
 
 
If it was any other kid I'd have texted and told him he could come in late. I know for a fact he would've come in on time anyways. Homie just loves to work.

Pizza from last night turned out very well.  Easily the best I've made.

Yeah, the app is super nice!  The bus delays aren't 100% accurate, but they're pretty close.
 
Here's the link for the beer festival.  I'm planning on the early session.  I'll remind you closer to the date!  They do sell out sometimes, so keep that in mind   I'm planning to order my ticket sometime this week.

this sounds like an amazing career for you!  best of luck, you're a great fit for it.

I have a job interview for a studio coordinator position at School of Rock next week. I'm pretty fucking stoked on it. Between the insanely nerdy email I sent the manager/owner, my obsession for music, my work experience, my years of touring, and the fact that a family friend (who works in radio) knows the owner, referred me, and talked me up, my chances are pretty damn good. The gig is my kind of hours, only 25 minutes away, and most importantly revolves around music. For anyone who isn't familiar with School of Rock, it's a music school just like how they do at the end of the movie, but bigger - so it's a music school. Fingers crossed for this, cause it's a job I can do well, somewhere I'd actually want to work, there's room for growth, and most importantly I can talk about music all day long!
 
This can be my life now:
 

Cortana team seems fun. Iteresting work at least. 
 
We went to the zoo and the children's museum. I'm not sure what is super touristy here outside the space needle or market. Haven't done the needle. Im looking forward to going to Safeco for a Mariners game. 
 
My office is in Pioneer Square, the deck on the roof looks at the Ferris Wheel pretty much. Maybe a block or two south of that. Public transportation is easy for me since I'm coming from West Seattle. Any WS bus works coming home and any Downtown bus works going in. Takes about 20-30 minutes it seems.
 
I'm into the move so far.  Not totally in the house yet though. No coffee table, real short on kitchen stuff and missing bedroom furniture. It's coming though. 

The aquarium and MoPOP (formerly EMP) fall on the touristy end of the spectrum, but are both worth going to.  Also a dynamite vegan Chinese place by MoPOP.
 
T - Look into OneBusAway if you haven't (can't remember if I mentioned it before).  It doesn't plan trips for you, but it gives you real accurate bus times and lists/maps stops.  Makes figuring out which bus to take and when you need to leave a lot easier.
 
Also, there is a cask beer festival at the end of March.  Think that's something you both might be interested in.  It's decently priced and they're a good way to try a ton of local breweries.

So for the last 2 hours my girlfriend and I have been in the living room periodically complaining about our shitty neighbors listening to music way too loud. At a few points we were like "Are they in the fucking hallway right now?"
 
 
I went into the bedroom to grab something just now...the music was coming out off our echo dot. We checked the cloud for the audio command that started it. The text was "Echo...play" but the audio was...one of the cats meowing repeatedly for about 5 seconds.
 
The fucking cat meowed in such a way that the echo activated....and heard "play"

luckily they hired 30 of us so I'm in a pack of being the new person.  we are doing classroom training for about 4 weeks and then we split into our teams we got placed on.  I don't think i'm allowed to go into detail but me and two others got placed on the Cortana team and that section seems freakin awesome!  
 
I'm glad to hear  you had a good first week! Have you done any tourist stuff?  I went to the pike place area and had really good homemade apple cider but I'm sure there is a lot more to be seen.
 
It sounds like you got a great view from your office! Are you working in Seattle or outside of it? My team is in Bellevue so I'll be working from there soon instead of Redmond. 
 
we don't get free food but drinks are free. Been drinking lots of weird stuff like coconut water and orange juice in a tiny can and these weird flavored waters. 
 
Have you been using public transport?  I kept getting lost on it. 
 
 
sounds like we both are really diggin this move!

Got pizza dough and sauce prepped for tomorrow.  Trying new recipes for both and I'm pretty stoked.

congrats!!! 

Morning all. Hope everyone has a quick workday & a great weekend! Started a new job this week myself, so that little accomplishment has done a lot for my sense of self for sure. Now, to get back in school by summer hopefully...  

Mornin! I think I'm in for an exciting day. I get to meet some members from the team I got placed on.  really excited!!!
