    Hooked up my Colecovision Flashback the other day and enjoyed several rousing rounds of Jumpman Junior.
     
    Jumpman Junior is the epitome of why I love classic gaming. Simple to learn, hard to master, doesn't need fancy sounds or graphics for fun.
     
    I was getting addicted all over again. I swear I played it for an hour, until the wife told me she wanted the TV back.

    Jumpman Junior is THE reason to get a CV Flashback if you don't have one.

    Interesting turn of events

    By Inky,

    This morning I went down to the unemployment office to find out what options are available to me at this time...
     
    I walked out with two job applications put in...
     
    When I went in, they informed me that Spherion was hiring for a warehouse position... That didnt start until 9, so while waiting, I updated my Illinois Skills match profile. When I started, there were no jbs listed for me. After I was done updating, there was one for the University of Chicago hospitals.
     
    9 AM rolls around, and I see the recruiter. Warehouse positions. The recruiter asked me some questions regarding warehouse experience, and I told him I had none. He then asked what line of work I'm in, and I told him IT. He informed me of a position open in Romeoville. I filled out the application, and all the forms -- including displaced worker forms, tax forms (Exemptions, etc.), employment eligibility, direct deposit, and that sort of thing -- then I rushed home and emailed him my resume.
     
    And here I am. I have about 7-8 more new jobs to apply for.
     
     
    And I have to add an aside to all this...
     
    I've been working my ass off to try to find a job. I haven't been sitting around here on my duff all day, surfing the internet and what have you all day long. I hAVE been putting some serious work into getting a job and perhaps upgrading my education. So don't think I've been lazy. That pisses me off.
     
    I gotta run getmy daughter now. Don't expect me to post any more about this anywhere but here.

    Job search updates

    By Inky,

    Welp, as many of you know, I was fired back in July, and the road to new employment isn't easy.
     
    First, if anybody has a job for me, please PM me for a copy of my resume.
     
    Secondly, I found out that I am eligible for the state of IL's WIA program. This means I get $5000 to apply towards trasining to make myself more competitive, and with that, I'm pursuing getting my MCSA.
     
    That's all for now.

    Larry Winget

    By Inky,

    OK, I just bought a book whose title screamed at me... "Shut up, Stop Whining, and get a life!" by Larry Winget.. I'm in the process of reading the book, and man, is it hitting me right between the eyes! This guy does not pull any punches. THere's a reason he's called "The Pitbull of Personal Development"!
     
    To hear a little of what he says go to http://www.larrywinget.com/hear.html

    The day arrived

    By Inky,

    Today my unemployment ran out.
     
    I officially have no income.
     
    If I accept this thing with the trucking company, I will have no income for at minimum a month.
     
     
    Fortunately tax time is around the corner. We'll see what happens.

    APRIL FOOLS!

    By Inky,

    I just won a million dollars, all my money problems are over, my eczema finally totally cleared up, my depression went away, I fianlly have representation in the state and national political scenes, my wife decided she loves sex, I moved out of the cockroach infested hell hole I live in, and I have a car I can trust.

    Pie Factory will be sharing a table with Underground Retrocade at Midwest Gaming Classic! We're in the Arcade Vendors hall.
     
    The first person to visit who can guess the two games we will be talking about in episode 29 will win a Edladdin Seagull 78 adapter for the Atari 7800!

    I'm seriously considering selling my Coleco ADAM. I never hook it up anymore, last time I did the video had a lot of glitches, and the tape drives don't work.
     
    I may bring it to MGC to see if anyone wants it.
