Yesterday I found out some big BIG news. My other half. Claudia, has just received a job offer for Blizzard. Yes you heard me right. Blizzard. The biggest name in gaming, the maker of the biggest online community and the only games company to have its own convention, Blizzard. She is going to be a GM or Games Master for world of warcraft. They are the people you turn to in game if something goes wrong. Get stuck in a wall, turn to her, Somebody griefing, turn to her, need help learning the game, turn to her.

Believe me when I say this is a dream job. she will be paid to be a working part of her (and over 11 millions others) favorite game. I am so very VERY happy for her and am incredibly happy for her and for us. The thought of her getting into the gaming industry is an amazing feet. Something she should feel very proud about and something I am very proud of her for.

But this does bring a big change to my life. She is not able to do this job from her home PC, much to the distress of myself. the location of this job is not within driving distance. in fact its not with in a train right……hell its not really a plane journey every day. Its in cork in Ireland. Yes that’s right were all going to Ireland. I’m going to have to quit my job to follow her, which I will gladly do. I will no longer be a limey, I will be a Guinness drinking drunk. YAY!

Watch this space.
