Stupid Guest Tricks

Nowhere! Those of you who guessed 'nowhere' can get your prize later.

I got laid off Friday.

So I thought I'd look for software engineering jobs at disneycareers.com. Alas, they all seem to be on the other side of the country.

But maybe some day...

EDIT: I must have done something wrong. They have software jobs EVERYWHERE. Now I just have to convince my wife it's ok to move to Florida.

Aw, man. That sucks.

I just filled the open position I had. Good luck!

Sorry to hear about the layoff. Good luck.

Unemployment in a word,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,SUCKS!!! :mad:
Good luck,,,soon.

Unemployment is a real bummer. Hope you saved up some money (to hold you over for some time) and that you find work soon. I will be starting my new job as President and owner of a franchised automotive business, on the 24th of this month. It took me five years, and the evaluation of a couple of hundred businesses, until I found this one. Hopefully it doesn't take you as long.

Thanks for the kind words. I accepted a job offer tonight. Well, a tentative job offer, but it's pretty firm. I won't say with whom, but you've heard of them, and they are not in the entertainment industry as far as I know.

I plan to celebrate by going to a local amusement park. :) Alas, Disney has now given up on two opportunities to be local.

Congrats! I hope it will be satisfying work for you.

Congratulations! That was quick!

Since I almost certainly have a new job starting in October AND I have some severance pay, I decided to do a real Stupid Guest Trick.

I was going to celebrate with a day at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It's a 3-4 hour drive away, but if I could find a group to go that wouldn't be so bad.

But nobody could make it on such short notice.

So I thought that I could go anyway, just drive down the night before and stay at a cheap hotel.

And then I thought, "well, I have all this free time and I wasn't going to have a vacation anyway, but now I can..."

Long story short, I leave tomorrow for Orlando (ok Kissimmee). I'll be driving down and staying at South of the Border along the way. My family used to do that every year when I was a kid (my parents' hobby was living beyond their means), and this will be quite the nostalgic trip for me.

If anyone would like to meet up, drop me a PM. I'll be doing all the big parks and maybe a water park too. I'm also doing IoA (and Fright Night) and Busch Gardens Tampa which I have never ever been to.

If you see me in a park and want to say hi, the secret code phrase is: what time is the 3:00 parade?

I look like this: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/images/boa ... mike-young I'll try to wear my "no disco dancing" pin, but no promises.
