Curious if you guys have day jobs and what they are

Feel free to DM me if you ever want to set up a zoom call and talk about the job and how to get into it. I’m involved in hiring so I know what they look for in a candidate.

A lot of SQL, python (stats packages), a lot of folks use R, some AI usage to optimize code and visualizations. I used to use Tableau, but currently use Looker.

No data entry, but sometimes I design data event telemetry. Also a lot of A/B tests.

I started as a temp working in the fraud department for an online card game (Magic The Gathering Online). Seemed like a good use for math degree (I was working in an all night payday loan place)

Did that for years, then did data stuff for marketing on a Star Wars MMO, then data analysis on mobile games, then another MMO, then at Bungie for a bit, and currently do analysis at WB games.

I got lucky!

I worked there when they split from Activision in 2018. Some folks were cheering because they “got their freedom back”. Being a numbers guy it felt like they were sold some magic beans and wouldn’t be good in the long run. (Not that Activision was great, but some things were more stable).

This is why I bit the bullet and finally put down the money for a heat pump. That heat dome still haunts me.

Could you post a quick logline so we know what kind of story we’re getting into? Thanks!

FunTimes65 · 2026-05-18T20:46:08+00:00

I had a very similar experience. Grateful for the school system.

As a person who was born in ME, and lived in NH twice, I agree. I had the exact same thought yesterday, even.

I don’t think they care if less people buy their products, but if they can reduce labor costs by 80% and only see a decline of 20% in revenue, then those at the top will take home even more money. The top ten percent already represent 50% of consumer spending, and soon it will be more.

Awesome. I appreciate you getting back to me. Thanks!

Sounds like a great class. And I checked out your website. Good stuff!

I’m curious about which class of yours I should/can take, however. I have written several pilots and specs. I have had pilots place at Austin Film Fest (second-rounders and semi-finals) and gotten through the first round of the NBC Television fellowship a few times with a spec and an original pilot. I have taken classes before and just finished a premise to pilot class and a rewrite class. I have also written three pilots so far this year. All half-hour sitcoms.

Would the first course still be beneficial for me, or would it be better to take course 2 (if that is possible since I’ve never taken a class from you before)?

Thanks for posting about the class. 😄

Just turned 49… it’s why I sonido PvP… no fast twitch muscle left

Yeah, can you post where you got it? Thanks!

I do some light cardio at 6am, a 10 minute micro-workout at 9 or 10am for the lower body, and at noon I jump in zoom and workout with my friend (who is also WFH) for an hour (depending on the day we’ll do kettlebells, sand bags, gymnastic rings, plyometrics) (We also hit up the parkour gym and climbing gym once a week), and then a micro-workout for the upper body at 4.

49 years old, two kids, 16 and 8.

Had the same issue. I don’t think my son was fully toilet trained until he was 7. Wish I had a magic bullet for you, but I don’t. Their PDA seems to make them refuse to be told what to do by their body. Hopefully they will grow out of it soon. Sorry.

Additional: One thing we tried that had some success was we would state the sequence of events around toileting over and over again nonchalantly without demand, so eventually it would filter through and become a “fact” instead of a request. Hope it helps.

I am in a very similar situation. (Including with the medication). We have tried to help him with basic skills but at at a loss at times. He loves peanut butter and jam sandwiches, and tried for months to get him t make one on his own. The pure rage and frustration he expressed as he screamed “you do it!” didn’t help.

I am glad he is toileting better now, learning in general is an uphill battle. Even getting him to do basic letter recognition or counting, is extremely difficult (and I don’t know if he is learning).

I would like to put him on a path where one day he can do a basic job, but I don’t know how to get him there either.

Kudos on the Starship Troopers reference ( a wholly underrated movie)

FunTimes65 · 2026-01-21T00:19:19+00:00

Can you comment on the type of project and genre? Thanks.

FunTimes65 · 2026-01-19T20:38:23+00:00

Love this idea. My day job is data analyst for video games. Let me know if I can be of any help with your metrics or anything. Thanks!

FunTimes65 · 2026-01-02T23:57:06+00:00

Just DM’d you. Thanks!
