Half a year.6 months ago, I flew from Ottawa, Ontario to Austin, Texas to start working for Rooster Teeth, something I had only dreamed of for 7 years.

I have been here now for.. half. a. year.
WAT

On one hand, Austin is really starting to feel like home, and I've become comfortable here. I love everyone I work with, I feel like I'm settling more and more into my position, roles are becoming more defined, and I feel like I belong. But, on the other hand, HALF A YEAR?! I could have sworn it's been 2-3 months, maybe.

This next half is going to be nuts. RTX, attending 4 conventions over the course of 2 months, and who knows what else.

What is the biggest thing that's happened to you in the last 6 months?

I remember going from seeing you at Fan Expo and wondering who you were to being like "Oh hey it's BlawnDee" to "I wonder if Barbara will be on the podcast this week?". Congrats on the 6 months of good work!

At work: Lost my 2 senior agents that where key elements in the team. My manager became a ghost to us since he has been sent on numerous project. The new Team leader I was working with got another position before me because he didn't know shit about what my team does and now I'm all alone having to do the job of what used to take 4 people down to 1.

At Home: My kids are growing up, my wife is enjoying here new job (just like you Barb), I think I'm going through sometype of depression (don't know enough about that stuff to know what kind) and apparently I have lost all interest I had. Oh and I think I alienated the last person I hanged out with so all and all I pretty much F***ed my life and can't cry about it since I have 2 kids I have to take care of since they look up at me, but he I'm sure some kid had terminal cancer somewhere and will die tonight cheers ;)

My mom got engaged and we're moving out of the city. MUHAHA! I hate everybody at my school. Hopefully my new high school will be better.

6 months ago the Army sent me to South Korea, away from my family and fiance. Now unfortunately, this place has grown on me and even though I head back to the states in another 6 months, I will somewhat miss this place.

Biggest thing to happen to me has been myself stepping out of my shell and starting to become the person I want to be. I've begun working out, took the leadership role at a poutinery, and started to work on a comic routine.

Probably when the girls of RT posed with the new shirts.
Na, it'd have to be RTOZ, closely followed by the knowledge that I will be going to RTX.

Congrats on the first 6 months of working at RT and living in Austin. Having a great working environment and people you get on with makes a huge difference to moving.

All the best and keep up the great work.

I graduated from high school. In March I was fortunate to become apart of perhaps one of the most spectacular high school stage crew in the world. We put on the wizard of oz. so much work went into it. 40 kids backstage, flying teams, tornado effects, an orchestra. Perhaps one of the greatest moments in my life.

First off - big congrats to you Barbara for landing your dream gig and doing such a great job since you've been at RT.

My last six months were mostly just school but a number of important things have happened to me since May:

- I became the President of a large national disability advocacy group,
- I've started networking with rather important people in the disability community and government
- Found out I will be getting my first academic article published soon.

I'm excited to continue accomplishing goals in the next six months, though. I have some big plans for weight loss and more academic writing.

What happened in the past six months? Got accepted to a better school to finish up my Graphic Design degree. Started attempting to create a graphic novel with a friend. Watched the entire show of Fraiser. Drew a naked fat man (don't recommend it). Discovered Minecraft. Was part of an art gallery. Got drunk with friends and watched the Rankin/Bass Hobbit cartoon (which I highly recommend). Created many terrific prints. Learned Flash and some HTML. Made new friends. Became a RoosterTeeth Sponsor. Bought my first RTX badge.

Glad you're enjoying your time in Austin, Barbara. You make the podcasts even better. See you at RTX!
