It's uh... it's great... really...

Y'all remember the job I had all those interviews back during AGDQ?
Well...

I GOT THE JOB, AND THE PROMOTION/RAISE THAT COMES WITH IT, AND I START IN THREE WEEKS!!!!!
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

It’s been amazing having the chance to work with
@frozenflygone
on the prize team. They’re dedicated, brilliant, funny, and can brighten any room just with their presence. The prize cave will be a little darker without them.
Love you, Court. I’m still cheering you on.
It was a tough decision to step down from the
#SGDQ2023
prize team, and I will cherish all our segments together these past few years.
I've grown so much as an entertainer thanks to y'all and thanks for welcoming me as I am.
Thanks always
@DragonSentinal

Job B is making me an offer.
It matches the top end of Job A’s range (and is about where I was at before I left my old job in March), and is fully remote (which Job A won’t match).
Contract comes tomorrow. Start date should be August 19.
Holy shit. I think I made it.

Paul Holman passed away yesterday. If you've attended a GDQ, you'd know Paul from the World9 crew.
He was one of the first people I met at my first event, SGDQ '18, when I was helping with setup. Lugged a lot of heavy TVs with this guy.

The set is struck. The practice room and prize cave are empty. No gamers in the lobby as I head for one last Caribou run.
It’s one thing to leave GDQ. But when you wait until Monday, GDQ leaves first. Now it’s just a hotel again.
Still sad, but a different kind, you know?

Seeing a bunch of new followers, so…Hi, friends! I’m Shout (or Mark). Dad, husband, gamer, geek.
For 2 weeks a year I have the honor of helping with

The rest of the year, I’m pretty boring. You’ve been warned. 🤣

Good news is, Mia and I are okay. We walked away from it. Got checked out at the ER to be sure, but no major injuries.
Bad news is… I think Garrus isn’t coming back from this mission.
More details tomorrow. Sore as hell and need sleep now. But we’re okay. He kept us safe. 💙

Note To Self:
Lots of speedrunners with kids and families now. Make a speedrun event for a kids-focused charity (TBD). Marathon of "kids" games. Call it something like "They Grow Up So Fast".
Second note to self:
Learn speedrun for "Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups Save Adventure Bay."

Hey all. Saw that my thank-you was doing numbers and grabbed a ton of new follows, so briefly reappearing.
This website is bad for me, and it's probably bad for you too. Check the bio for where I am.
Thanks for supporting GDQ and PCF. You rock. See you this summer. ❤️

Productive morning. Signed the offer paperwork for Job B, and emailed the recruiter at Job A to formally withdraw from consideration.
It's starting to sink in now. Holy crap, I have a job again. Holy crap, we survived.

This is my 11th GDQ; 10th time hosting, 5th in-person, 4th (I think?) time on-camera for prizes.
But after 5 years, and a LOT of work, it’s finally my TURN 1st time with the word “STAFF” on my badge.
Gods damn. I made it, y’all.

So now that I'm done with the event (and the event is also done), I wanted to give some background into some of the massive emotional roller coaster that this week has been by filling in an information gap I'd been leaving.
On Tuesday, Mia was diagnosed with COVID.

WENT GREAT!!!
Just an initial call with the recruiter, but sounded really positive. 3 rounds of interviews before decision, timeframe is 2-3 weeks total. I'm optimistic and really hopeful on this one; I'd love the chance to work at this company if I can get it.
JOB INTERVIEW CALL IN 15 MINUTES AAAAAAAAA
(But like, less loud of an AAAAAAA than you'd think given the state of my throat.)

4 days until I drive up to Minneapolis.
I’m beyond ready to get going. Ready to see my girlfriend. Ready to be among my people. Ready to do the work I know I’m good at.
GDQ is a massive reset and centering for me. The last 6 months have been a whirlwind.
I’m ready to be home.

Mornin', friends. I'm up. Didn't sleep NEARLY enough, but storm's not going to wait. Packing up the room now; hoping to be on the road in the next hour.
Current estimates are about 7 hours to get home (without stops) and over 500 miles. If I'm lucky, I'll get in before bedtime.

With host auditions for AGDQ around the corner, I thought I'd throw out some threads about how I approach auditioning!

I’m overjoyed to let you all know that my daughter has been nothing but hugs and snuggles since she found me home this morning, and its awesome.
My son has been too busy being grumpy. Not so much as a high-five.

Oh, the first is WAY harder. Leaving GDQ feels like leaving Disney World. But there’s nothing here now to leave; the magic is in boxes, and the stream room is just a ballroom again.
There’s a finality to it. GDQ is a moment in time, and that moment is now passed.

Was just at the airport. Saw two cute little kids come running down arrivals, screaming “DADDY! DADDY!” like just seeing him made it the best day of their lives.

We've been building channel-level ban evasion detection and account improvements to combat this malicious behavior for months. However, as we work on solutions, bad actors work in parallel to find ways around them—which is why we can't always share details.

The “Pork & Kraut” from Dan Kelly’s.
The bacon and onions are a perfectly fine addition to the traditional Canadian bacon and sauerkraut. The cheddar gives some Happy Joe’s flare.
I think they rinsed their kraut, though… could be brinier.
Still tastes like home though. 8/10.

That's my last interview for Job B. They're expecting to make decisions on offers by the end of next week (maybe early the following), which puts them on the same timeline as Job A.
