Currently unemployed... new job starts in January.

Post » Sat Oct 15, 2011 4:17 pm

Spent 6 years in the U.S. military and recently got out, i've been looking for a good job and recently found an amazing one. The only catch is that I won't start till January 3rdish. I have enough money to last me until then so what this means is I'll be playing ludicrous amounts of Skyrim for 1.5 months before I start working again.

Anyone else having "good luck" around the time Skyrim comes out that'll let them play more? Maybe even just being able to take vacation?

I only work when I want to, and when I do, I do it from home.
Needless to say, from 11.11.11. and for quite a while, I don't
want to. Maybe sometime next spring, we'll see.

Time will drag on for you, I go back tomorrow and I was only off for a week. I was forced to take my time off as November through January are blocked out for me. I am not in retail by the way. lol.

Good luck in that I was smart enough to schedule a weeks vacation beginning the Monday after Skyrim's release. Releases on Friday 11-11-11, So I'll be at work that day, then it's off work for a week while I fritter my time away playing TES.

Organic chemistry is the ... smelliest. A lot of awful odors in that series. :(

Not here. My work and college schedule is packed, so I won't get to fully enjoy an entire day of Skyrim until maybe late December. :sadvaultboy:

Congratz on your new job!

I was planning to build a new PC for Skyrim, but well, I bought a house with my fiancee, so no money available.

Luckily for me my old pc seems to be able to run Skyrim :celebration:

No holiday left :( Plus living with the wife means I can't put time into games like I used to... when Oblivion came out I just abandoned humanity for weeks, and put in some ridiculous "shifts" of the game, but the best I can hope for with Skyrim is Friday/Saturday nights.

Still, should make it last even longer!

One of the benefits of working at GameStop is that they don't find it weird if you request time off to play a video game :celebration:
