Funemployment
Sunday June 19, 2022
I quit my job at Ubisoft.
The past five years have been pretty amazing. I've learned so much from so many extremely talented people and built solid friendships with many I've interacted with over the years, be it from working on the same project, raiding Pokemon together, playing trivia or eating food. My legacy endures with the inclusion of New Zealand on the world map in Watch Dogs, but also the infamous "gas leak" saga, caused by durian candy that I had brought in. It's sad to be another one of many departures, but I think it was a good time for a change. My next job is fully remote (from anywhere!) and still in games, so I'm looking forward to new challenges ahead...and also the possibility of never having to go through another winter again.
In the mean time, I've got plenty of time to have a holiday and enjoy summer in Toronto. I had a friend from Ohio visit over the past few days; I took him on an ice cream tour of the city and we covered six of the many ice cream shops in Toronto, all while biking across the downtown core. We went to Canada's Wonderland and rode nine rollercoasters, including the Yukon Striker, the Behemoth and the Leviathan (turns out I'm not as resilient as I used to be). Last weekend I was in Tobermory with a few friends, and we got to explore the Grotto and Halfway Log Dump at the perfect time of year - sunny, not too warm, but almost deserted since it's not full summer season yet, just the way I like it. Next week, I'm off to Nova Scotia to explore the Atlantic provinces of Canada and enjoy all the delicious seafood that area has to offer.
