Congrats, Adam.

Yes congratulations Mr S - sorry didn't read the previous posts prior to posting that link above.

Excellent company to get in to and will look great on the CV for the future etc.

Well done Adam, you are one of the nicest people around so it's great you've got a job doing something awesome! Fable 3 was already confirmed right? You haven't just let the cat out of the bag before you even started or anything
edit - damnit that was already posted.

On a work related note....and a less positive note:
If you feel like you are 'drowning' at work, is that a sign of stress?

[Adam Stone]

Thank you guys, really appreciate the words of support :-)

Oh, and Ady, i've just seen your pm mate! I'll reply to you shortly man, sorry it's taken me so long to realize *as you can probably guess, a lots been going on!*

Thanks again everyone, I really am chuffed to bit (even shed a tear or two earlier was so happy, but sshh, don't tell anyone) ;-)

Yes.

Mr. Pete, thank you matey.

About your question... Maybe it means that it's not the right job for you? I felt similar in many of my previous works, really was getting me very down indeed. In the end, I decided to bugger it all and start completely afresh and follow my heart and, thank goodness, a year later it's all paid off! Work is hard enough as it is mate, if you're not happy then don't be afraid to admit that to yourself.

[PeteJ]

Yes. And yes.

Great. I was absolutely fine before they forced a "Happy, Healthy, Here" week on everybody. OK so my current situation had nothing to do with that but the timing couldn't have been more ironic!

I don't want to bring it up officially because I believe it'll get held against me. Now people will say "your health is more important in the long run!", but if I bottle it then the pressure just goes onto my colleagues which I'd find even harder to deal with!

Bah.

Sorry adam, didn't mean to take away from your moment

[Adam Stone]

Ha, don't be silly Mr. Dude

Nice one Adam, good job on 'breaking into' the industry like that, you must have impressed them. I'm sure you'll go far.

It's cool, mate. I guessed you'd had a lot on.

And again, congratulations in breaking into the industry. Let me know if you hear of any musician vacancies!
