Quick Life Statement
Since the last installment, I:
- Left Oracle
- Started at a startup called PageBites
- Didn't get accepted to any creative writing grad programs
- Moved to a house in the Haight (and my
brother moved back to Egypt)
- Quit/volunteered to be laid off from the startup
- Spent two months living off my severance checks and doing
nothing constructive
- Got hired by Google
- Got paid by the landlord to move out of the house in the Haight
on account of something called the Ellis Act
- Got an apartment alone in the Mission
- Started working at Google
So now I work at Google and they feed me free lunch and dinner and
provide a bus that drives me from the city to the Silicon Valley
hinterlands and back again. My goal is to some day have enough money
that I can relive that two months of doing nothing constructive
forever. Everybody says they'd go crazy without a job, but I think
they're just scared of how awesome that crazy would be.
