Title: Offered my job back
Post by: Sureshot on January 08, 2005, 02:41:50 AM
Well as some of you might remember, I was at Codemasters for 3 months doing QA tech stuff, though had to leave in October as my contract ran out and the board wouldn't extend any contracts for new employees, going into the quiet xmas period.

Well, I've been doing a laptop technician post for the last month which is ok, but simply not as good as working for a games company (of course)!  Yesterday however, I got an e-mail from Codemasters saying they wanted me to come work for them again, starting at the end of January, with the possibility of gaining a permanent contract.

Ok, so maybe this didn't warrant its own topic, but what the hell, i'm happy :D

Can you get me free stuff? Though shipping would be a killer.

Haha I would but they're really quite useless at that.  I was meant to get a promo copy of one of the games I tested, but I still haven't got it.  Also, I did get my name in the credits but they spelt my surname wrong :(

Bah, humbug!

Just an update on this, I've decided to hold out a little as I just bought a new car and can't risk being in a temporary position while trying to pay it off.  So, I'm still in my current position for now :|

Here's the car if anyone's interested!

That's a caravan. You drag it behind your car when going on vacation.
