Dear Sir or Madam...
The biggest downside of coming home from a year-long trip is looking for work again. I knew this day would come, but I chose to ignore it as long as possibe. Before the trip started, people would ask Brendan and me what we planned to do once we got home, and we'd chuckle and dismiss the question as the most uninteresting thing in the world. So much time to travel! So much time before traveling ends! So much distance between us and paychecks! Corporations! HR departments! We were escaping!
Now, we're getting ready to re-enter, and it's kind of a bummer. Not becuase I hate the idea of working so much (I actually miss a lot of the routine aspects of having a steady 9-5), just because what was once a far away scenario is now upon me. I've traveled. I've seen a million things. I'm finishing. And I'm sorry to see it go. I wonder if marathon runners feel this way when the big race is over.
Brendan and I fight over the computer more than ever, since we're now churning out cover letters along with everything else. A part of me is excited to see where we end up, but for now, it's still completely up in the air.
I guess in a way we're still on an adventure. Yeah, that's it.

Good luck with finding a job. Ayo is home going to be L.A., San Fran or Chicago?
Another turning point;
A fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist;
Directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test
And don't ask why.
It's not a question
But a lesson learned in time.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs
And still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf
In good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories
And dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth,
It was worth all the while.
It's something unpredictable
But in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
Call up Leo for help. No pun intended. I'd like to see you guys on The Lab with Leo.
You guys will do great. With your TV talent and everything. I think it will work out fine. Just...no...prostitution...that goes for mainly Brendan. haha. jk. Can't wait to hear more and see where you guys go in life. I will always be a huge fan. I was really sad when you guys said it would be the last podcast.
Not sure what type of job you're looking for, but you should consider contacting Robert Scoble and see if you can get a job at PodTech. You two have great chemistry together in front of the camera, and whoever does the editing is awesome at that too. I think if you two started a show at PodTech, or any other podcasting type corporation, it would be a huge hit.

all the best guys. i'd like to ask something.
which place would you like to revisit in future? or is there any other place u guys wished u had included in your tour?
Good luck guys. I hope to see a return of the Sarahcam wherever you go.
Has it really been a year already? I can't believe how fast all this has flown by, and I haven't gone anywhere. :-)
Sarah, two words of employment advice: Leo Laporte. It's time to go home, honey.
doesn't Leo shoot his show in Canada?
I think they should come to an agreement on where they want to live then go from there. They should have no problem finding a new job. If anyting a good place will find the fact that they left their jobs for world expreince a plus. Plus if you can make it a year with out killing each other you have good chance of making it over the long hall. Good Luck you guys!!
P.S. Leo isn't a bad idea.
One word: REVISION3 !!!!!
Is there any where else?
I can't stand 9 to 5. I just want to learn and not bother with corporate America. I guess I'm doing a great job so far.
I'd say either work with Leo or Rev3. Probably the 2 best options, now that G4 is merging with the E! network.
G4 is merging with E? ew. that's so sad. but anyways, I just hear a lot of talk about going back with Leo. And just to clarify, the show (call for help) is in fact made in Canada and it is shown on G4techtv. I don't even think the show is shown in the states, it's weird. I live in Canada, so it's all good for me. I doubt sarah and brendan would ever go there though. Does the new job have to be tech broadcasting related. I mean, I know that's your background and everything, but I think (sarah especially) would be great at being a tv news anchor. I know it's kind of a lame job, but hey, just a thought.
Good luck to the both of you. I could effin forget about being a working member of society after a year long jaunt through the old world. Hope you two are not too spoiled.
when is this merger supposed to happen?
attack of the show?
You return! Brilliant! Since G4 and E! are actually NOT merging, just sharing studio space, get over there and knock Munn down and get your jobs back! Alright, maybe not, but you both are creative and interesting and I hope that a career somewhere in the public spot light is next.
