The Golden Knight: You know, never before have I had such a response about me streaming. This will be exciting!
Marine Trained Teen: Yeah
Marine Trained Teen: It will be definitely cool
The Golden Knight: Along with drawing stuff that I said - what?
Marine Trained Teen: Oh
Marine Trained Teen: I mean along with the drawing stuff that you will do
Marine Trained Teen: Do you think about making livestreams playing games as well?
The Golden Knight: Yes, especially when I get my new computer. That will be the first thing I do; to celebrate the achievement.
The Golden Knight: It'll be a marathon stream of games old and new!
Marine Trained Teen: Wow
The Golden Knight: From Star Citizen to virtualized Windows 95!
Marine Trained Teen: Now THAT I will definitely watch
The Golden Knight: Basically, the experience should be as if you were hanging out with me in-person, except over the Internet.
Marine Trained Teen: Yeah
The Golden Knight: I still need another grand or 2 to make it happen, though.
Marine Trained Teen: I see
The Golden Knight: I'll work at it!

Marine Trained Teen: Cant wait for that
The Golden Knight: It's just going to take some time.
The Golden Knight: I seriously *need* a beefy semi-supercomputer if I want to even consider streaming games.
Marine Trained Teen: Probably
Marine Trained Teen: When do you think you might get the money necessary to get a new PC?
The Golden Knight: It depends on how soon I get a job and how much it pays. I'm assuming the whole process (processing and all, even assuming I pass interviews) would be a couple weeks, and I imagine a wage about 10 dollars an hour...
The Golden Knight: I have a ways to go; ideally a month or 2?
Marine Trained Teen: Huh
Marine Trained Teen: Didnt you have a job before?
The Golden Knight: I did, but the expectations were unrealistic.
The Golden Knight: As a field technician, I was expected to run all around downtown DC, fixing 6-8 computers per day.
The Golden Knight: The key words that forced me away are "per day."
The Golden Knight: I kept detailed documents logging all the time I needed to do my job efficiently, and at my pace, I was doing 2 or 3. My manager found this unacceptable.
The Golden Knight: So, I knew this pace was not going to change anytime soon, and since no compromise was apparent, I felt compelled to leave. It made me sad, but also relieved me.
Marine Trained Teen: I see
Marine Trained Teen: Sorry to hear about that
The Golden Knight: In short, I felt I was expected to do something unrealistic. It's OK, and thanks for caring. ^^
Marine Trained Teen: No prob
Marine Trained Teen: I suppose being a field technician is not the best job for you?
The Golden Knight: Well, I really enjoyed the experiences I gained, and I do honestly want to be a technician. But work in the field - any job - is quite hard. It does not help when the schedule assumes DC has no traffic or red lights at all.
Marine Trained Teen: Yeah
The Golden Knight: I could've put up with it, if I weren't expected to do triple the amount of calls a day.
The Golden Knight: Anyway, enough about that, I hope.
Marine Trained Teen: Yeah
Marine Trained Teen: What kind of job are you going to seek for now?
The Golden Knight: Geek Squad. With my comic selling for almost a year, I think that should give me the experiences to finally qualify me, since they're hard with that "3 months selling experience."
The Golden Knight: I mean, think about it: no parking garages or parking tickets, no hassles outside regular commute, and all day I'm pretty much at a desk. The pay will be lighter than 14 an hour, but it'll be worth it if the job is "easier" like I imagine it will be.
The Golden Knight: That's why I factored in about 10 an hour.
Marine Trained Teen: Yeah, sounds like it will more tailored to your own pace and so
The Golden Knight: Naturally. I don't think Geek Squad will expect me to defy the laws of physics just to meet some kind of quota.
The Golden Knight: Oh yeah, and I remember explaining when I hung out in G-Mod; my field job had my car turn into a small FedEx depot!
The Golden Knight: It sounds funny, but that's because the situation is something that sounds like it came off a sketch from SNL. I had 9 boxes, and half of them were quite big boxes.
The Golden Knight: Those altogether made for quite some dimensions within my Camaro.
The Golden Knight: I remember the last day, where I was picking up my load, and the boxes just kept getting bigger and bigger...
Marine Trained Teen: Sounds like it was an adventure dealing with those boxes
The Golden Knight: Yeah, it was really something...
The Golden Knight: Like I said, it wouldn't have been so bad if the pacing did not feel out of hand.
Marine Trained Teen: Yeah
