Re: What is your job?

After spending over seven years in the MMO field, I took the severance from Sigil and found a new job in a new industry. I am now the Assistant Vice President of Networks and IT for a large credit union servicing 3 countries. More pay, less stress, less overall hours. I think I landed something sweet.
