Having to catch up on projects in a program like this grants you a case of sleep deprivation! I’ve gotten about 6 hours of sleep in the past 3 days trying to meet project deadlines and am in a zombie state at the moment. I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel – whether it’s my current state of mind or that I’m actually almost caught up is a distinction I’m not qualified to make.
Today we have to present information about a company we’ve chosen to write a cover letter for (for future a future employment application). I hope I don’t slur my words as I present haha. I decided to select a company that a friend of mine currently works for known as Slant Six Games. The most interesting information about Slant Six is it’s company philosophy of a healthy work-life balance. They actually state that they have a “flat” management hierarchy that does away with the traditional corporate structure. Apparently, having come from the standard corporate structure, the founders have implemented a system where “burn out” is avoided! In fact they claim this is one of the reasons for their success and growth. I really like the idea of a company that takes into consideration their employees out of work happiness. I totally agree that happy employees produce much better work. My friend that works for them really enjoys what he does and enjoys working for them. Dispite the lack of job postings for entry level positions at this point, I still plan to submit my resume and cover letter to them (with a reference from my friend on the inside) to see if I can get an interview sometime in the near future when a position I can fill becomes available.
At any rate my zombie state persists and will continue to persist throughout the day. Fortunately, we have a late class tomorrow so I can finally catch up on some sleep!
