I was in university for longer than I probably should have been, supplemented income with web clients and such, had a fortunate thing happen to me which allowed me to not worry about money for a while and, since graduating from university, I&#8217;ve been looking for work.<\/p>\n<p>While looking for work, I&#8217;ve explored different avenues for making money. Among them, my guides. I&#8217;ve also done some web work and have complained (at length) on Twitter about some nightmarish clients.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I was officially offered a position for full-time work <em>in my field (!) <\/em>(no details for you guys yet, sorry!) and, because I am not stupid, I accepted it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What this means for me:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Working Monday to Friday from 9am-6pm<\/li>\n<li>Going to bed no later than midnight Sunday-Thursday<\/li>\n<li>ZOMG A STEADY PAYCHEQUE<\/li>\n<li>A distinct lack of this thing called &#8220;free time&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What this means for you:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Definite interruption in content production. Specifically:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Changes to the podcast schedule. I&#8217;ve been releasing most episodes on Sunday night\/Monday morning. This may change to something like Sunday afternoon or Monday evening.<\/li>\n<li>A delay in my guides. I wanted to release my Raid Leader&#8217;s Guide in August\/early September. That is almost certainly not going to happen now. As of right now, before even starting work, I&#8217;m thinking we&#8217;re looking at late October\/early November. On the plus side, it will almost certainly beat <em>Warlords of Draenor<\/em> to release. ;)<\/li>\n<li>A delay in my Sneak Peeks. I generally write for my guides and then look over the content and select 2000-3000 words for sneak peeks and release those every week. Well, most weeks. With the interview process and such this week, I had no time to write, much less release a sneak peek. The best way to be kept up to date on my guides and sneak peeks is by <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/CgdxL\" target=\"_blank\">signing up for my announcement list<\/a>. With an upcoming bizarre schedule, I&#8217;ll do my best to aim for a new sneak peek every two weeks, but I can&#8217;t promise anything yet.<\/li>\n<li>Possibly <em>more<\/em> blogging (?!) just so I have an outlet to talk about WoW stuff &#8212; assuming I have time to still play WoW.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Crap. I just realized that I may not be able to pull an all-nighter when <em>Warlords<\/em> comes out. That&#8217;d be a first for me. (Well, not really. I wasn&#8217;t here for the launch of <em>Mists<\/em>, but that&#8217;s because I was in Italy.) Oh, well, a steady paycheque makes a lot of things worth it. ;)<\/p>\n<p>Anyhow, that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on with me. I&#8217;m very careful about keeping my &#8220;real life&#8221; away from my &#8220;WoW life&#8221; and I didn&#8217;t give out any of my WoW-related stuff to my new employer, but I want to remain very vague about things anyhow (hence all the [REDACTED] tweets on Twitter!).<\/p>\n<p>So that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going on with me. I&#8217;m really excited about this and will spend some time planning stuff out. With any luck, there won&#8217;t be too large a disruption to stuff you&#8217;ve come to expect from me.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there should be a new Kurncast this Sunday night\/Monday morning, by the way, and look for content (YouTube?) about the new Naxx &#8220;adventure&#8221; in Hearthstone after it comes out on Tuesday! (I&#8217;m seriously so excited about PVE coming to Hearthstone. I realize this makes me a little sad. I&#8217;m okay with that.)<\/p>\n<p>Hope you&#8217;re all doing well. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For those of you who are unaware, I haven&#8217;t had a full-time, steady job in quite some time.
