Free pacman
Job search is in full swing. Though I’m my own worst enemy when it comes to procrastination. I just tried to log in to my preferred careers/jobs web site only to find they’re down for maintenance for 30 minutes. Graciously though, they put up a page telling you this, and give you a game of Pacman to keep you occupied while you wait. I’m happy to say I made it to level three, which I think is some kind of record for me. It’s not that I suck at games, just never got into Pacman. I was more a Grand Prix II or Moon Patrol kind of guy (and was the Moon Patrol music not the coolest arcade game music ever?).
But how about that? Free Pacman. I wonder what people would have said in the early 80s if you’d told them that one day, they wouldn’t have to pay 20c a game, you wouldn’t have to buy your own Pacman cartridge (for your Commodore 64, obv), it’d just be there, for free, when you did the equivalent of making a phone call.
I suppose that’s how radio seemed to people who used to have to go to the opera or local music hall to hear anything.
Howcome you’re job searching? Hope it is a short search. Or long, if that’s how you want it.
What I find most amusing about giving you Pacman, is that they realise if you’re looking at their site, you’re obviously not working anyway (because you hate your current job), so you may as well waste your time playing games!
Very smart indeed!
I have a midi file of the moonpatrol music somewhere. It was my ringtone for quite a long time.
