welp the guy who got me my current job contacted me about qa position at another place. but it's not downtown which is kind of a deal breaker unless the figgies are extremely good. and also it's a qa position. i just moved to a development position like a month ago. anyway it's good to be at the point where people want to hire me and i can say no.
