Cinco De Mayo!

The other week I learned Cinco De Mayo means the 5th of May, haha obviously.

Well for the last month and up to now I'm still looking for a job. I've got several interviews but no offers yet and also nothing that I really want. The two big criteria I look for right now in a job is simply, good pay for a person with my degree starting around ~60k/year and also good location, meaning up to 30min max commute from my house. If the pay is worth it, I'd consider prolly 45min commutes, but gas prices are getting too ridiculous for stuff like that.

Yesterday, was a fun day, first time I actually got out an hung out with some new people and old friends. First I went to a BBQ party by myself for my friend's up coming birthday. It was a tight party, loud crunk music and bunch of cute girls and beer games etc. Problem was I didn't know anyone there except the guy throwing it. Felt kinda awckward and I know I could of just met a bunch of new friends, but just felt so out of it. I had a decent time hugging my corner I guess, people was lunching and laughing alot. I didn't end up staying long becuase it was K_'s birthday an I was gonna go out with him last night. So I left the party after grubbin a bit and went out with K_ to eat again and go out to Bethesda.

At Bethesda, I couldn't drink much because I was so full from eating at the BBQ and Bennigans with K_ and others. The bar was typical standing around drinking and talking with each other as usual. I really wanted to go out an dance like crazy but nobody I was with was trying to dance so that kinda threw me off the night. Its weird how my comp sci friends are willing to go out clubbin an dance with girls whereas these guys won't. Bunch of hot/cute girls out that night. Was fun actually going out again. But at the end of the night I'm still jobless and searching.

What sucks is from my experiences yesterday and my job interviews I can definitely tell that I don't handle social pressure as well as I used to when I was gaming. I definitely need to get back into gaming. I know I can do it right now while searching for a job, but I'm gonna just keep waiting til I start getting paid. Job searching in itself is a job. Constantly waiting for phone calls, always gotta be ready for phone interviews, it sucks.
