I've got mine somewhere
I made them when George wanted something to dangle in front of people that would (possibly) never be worth anything. The laser printer rules!!
Ha! I remember how pathetic we all felt that night that George handed those out. What a slime ball he was...
LOL! I don't have that one (I think I'd left already), but it would be great if somebody would do a nice scan and send it to me! If interested, I can trade you for a comparably worthless piece of paper from Activision, Accolade, or Eidos! :)
Time to cash it in. I wonder what it's worth now.
You know what i don't have. I don't have my leather sleeve Blue Sky jacket. What did I do with it.? I have no idea. Garage sale?
Maybe I never had one. No, that was special order if I remember right. I had one and don't now
I loved that jacket and still have it. I don't seem to get much opportunity to wear it 'cause it's never cold here, but it hangs in my closet. You know, after all this time I still have positive thoughts about George and BlueSky. BlueSky was like high school; good stuff happened; bad stuff happened, but you can't forget it because it was such a formative, tribal experience.
I'm with you Tom. Essential to almost every branch of what has happened to me since then.
I concur with Tom, too. I learned so much at B.S. (the initials were kind of a harbinger of things to come, however).
Weezie, you were still there for your "options" to be delivered, (I didn't think it was lame, but then, I didn't know how farcical the underlying financials might have been behind this "public offering"). I'd stashed my stock certificate away in a box somewhere, waiting for the resurrection...
I don't know if the "highs" achieved during a company's lifespan correlate at all to the best traits of those running the place, but for sure the death of a company seems determined by their all-too-human flaws.
It's easy to laugh about it now, but I'm glad the place lasted as long as it did.
Just like High School! (and Ellis, I have pictures of you in your fine Varsity BlueSky jacket--also just like High School!)
Mine didn't fit. I got it too big. Maybe that's why I parted with it wherever I decided to part with it.
This is also a good time lapse on the stability of game employment. The BlueSky experience, a scant 12 years ago. I've had 3 jobs since then. 4 if you count 6 months of freelancing. Coming out of my longest stretch of unemployment.
Jason, the .jpg on this post is reasonably high definition. You can just download it. I tried removing my name in Photoshop so everyone could fill in their own name, but the blend pattern in the background makes it too difficult. Good counterfeit security measures Tom.
5 if you count freelancing. I left the Moneytropolis period out. How could I do that. That was the highpoint.
I liked my time at BS, but that doesn't mean that George wasn't a slime ball. But I did disliked it enough at one point to split before things got really bad.
Overall I have some terrific memories, and a lot of good friends, out of that place. My BS friends, that is a dividend that is still paying out, unlike the bird cage liner that George handed out at that sad Christmas party.
