Sometimes the time just isn't right yet, and I've been rejected plenty of times, in a variety of life situations. And like I said to you before, kudos to Periapse Linden for coining "Gridnaut". :D @Georgette: Yes, never give up in something you really believe in.

This was a very interesting post, Torley. Not least because I'm DYING to work for Linden Lab. I have applied once and been rejected (waaah) but fear not: I am going to try and try again! I really believe so much in this company and product and know firsthand the positive affects it can have on people's lives. I am going to keep pouring my heart and soul into SL and as you know, that joy of giving is it's own reward. :)) P.S. I iz Gridnaut now! Woot!

Life, and Second Life, comes togetha. @Cerulean: I'm glad I could help satisfy your curiosity! Second Life has so much "proof in its pudding", as I might say. Looking back, I wouldn't have foreseen all these events happening — including working for LL, but it's been magical, and my life makes more sense because of it. THE WORLD IS VIRTUAL... BUT THE PEOPLE (and emotions) ARE REAL! :D @Sahoni: I <3 that synchro! Life, and Second Life, comes togetha.

Thank you for satisfying my curious nature! I've always been nervous to try & attempt what you've done. (Doing something you highly enjoy without the confinement & stifling atmosphere of an office environment.) But it's given me a little push to just "follow my dreams". "why would I work at a place that sucks?" - EXACTLY! :D "I'm actually very shy, introverted, and quiet unless I get encouraged to speak… see how the power of Second Life turned me into a social magnet?" - SL has given me confidence in RL that I sorely lacked. Who says that something virtual cannot give you a valuable life lesson? It's nice to see that is the same for others.
