bizarre couple of weeks
Let’s see, right before my boss and Tsavo CEO Mike Jones decided to go to MySpace, I moved out of my apartment. I had been living in Santa Monica for about 8 months and the commute from the bay area as well as the high rent started to get to me and my wallet. Packed it up, found a renter to take care of the rest of my lease and even sold every bit of my furniture to the new guy. His check bounced but that’s beside the point and he’s since paid (via paypal). After I moved out of the apartment I checked into a hotel down the street from Tsavo and that night my eye burned from the glow of the hotel alarm clock. It was iritis - again!! Iritis is is a form of anterior uveitis and refers to the inflammation of the iris of the eye.
Since it’s painful to look at the sun, I decided to drive to the bay area in the middle of the night so that I could see my eye doc. Yes, they have eye care in LA but I knew this doc would give me the treatment that it needed. My eye actually started to feel better that day so I decided to fly back to LA the next morning. When I returned the big boss man told me about MySpace and it didn’t surprise me much. He seemed like the logical choice for either CEO or COO. The interesting thing was that my team had just witnessed me moving out of my apartment, interviewing candidates to fill in for me while I was going to be spending more time in the bay area and then the rumors of MJ. After flying home the news had hit TechCrunch as a rumor on Saturday night and then as a confirmed story the next day. After some initial shock from my team, they thought I was also going to MySpace for sure - most likely because I bailed on my Tsavo apartment and Mike and I worked at AOL.
For now, I’m at Tsavo and loving it.
On the day before my iritis hit, I took this shot at the beach
Update: my right eye still has a mild form of iritus and I have to drop steroids into it every hour that I’m awake until Monday. It is getting better though!
