Week 2 Complete!
2:52 PM - July 31st, 2005
The message of my previous post wasn’t that the actual work sucks, but that the way work takes over your life leaves you feeling confused and lost. As far as the work goes, right now it’s just like school. I have assignments, reading, and lectures. I need to learn how the product works before I can contribute anything.
Money
Thinking about my financial future has me afraid of spending money. It makes me more than willing to cook myself if it means saving $20+ a day. I feel like I should be saving as much as possible because so much of my income goes to taxes and rent. (Income taxes are seriously out of hand).
And money no longer comes from a seemingly bottomless well (parents =)), but from hours at work. $20 no longer registers in my mind as $20, but as X hours of work or—more accurately— as 2X hours of work after taxes+rent.
Beatmania
It’s coming to the U.S. and no one told me? Found out about it last week through—of all places—Wikipedia. =(

Not for consoles =(
… which is why I’ve been shelling out money at the arcade for 5 years… probably enough money to import a PS2, beatmania controller, and a couple games.
