May. 21st, 2002 08:28 pmWell, finally, after three phone calls and a week and a half of waiting, the mailer to send my Clie in for repairs finally came. As it happened, I wasn't actually here when it came, as I was on campus working on my resume; FedEx left me a doorknob hanger saying I could go pick it up at their HQ, a mile or so away. So I grabbed the Clie and drove over there to get the box, thinking that I could just stick it in, and send it from there, and be done with it.
But no. Unlike Palm and Handspring, it seemed Sony wanted me to send the USB cradle and AC adapter along with the Clie itself. And I hadn't brought those. So I had to drive back home, stick them in the box, and then drive back to ship it off. I suppose I could have done it tomorrow, when I plan to be applying for jobs or with employment agencies in that area, but they said the turnaround would be about a week, so the sooner I got the thing sent off, the sooner I'd get it back and the better off I'd be. It's really disturbing for me to be without the thing, given how much of my life I pour into it (and how much of my finances it tracks for me).
I picked up my copy of Nobilis yesterday, and I'm very enthusiastic about it. I only wish there were some way I could actually play it. There's a MUSH starting up, and I've got a character in that, but what I'd really like would be a good local or on-line game without the trappings of building, coding, MU*ing, etc. Something like the free-form roleplay that some friends and I do on a private chatserver, as opposed to the more structured build-and-code of MUSHing. But I'm realizing that may just not be possible.
And as I mentioned earlier, I worked some more on my resume. Wonder of wonders, by cutting mercilessly I actually got it down to one single page. Part of me is somehow hoping that this will prove to be the magic bullet, that all the places that rejected me before will take one look at my fabulous single-page resume and go, "Oh, wow! We need to hire him!" I suspect I'm just in for more disappointment.
Oh well. Onward and upward.
