I'm babysitting for my brother today. About every 10 seconds or so I
can hear my nephew David saying, "Carolaaaannnne!" in an exasperated
tone (Carolanne is his little sister). It's very funny to hear,
especially when David goes off to annoy my youngest brother Martin who
can then be heard saying, in exactly the same tone, "Daviiiiddd!" Ah,
the circle of life. :-p
My mother has become obsessed with job-hunting, for me that is. She called me from work a couple of hours ago and whispered down the phone (I had an image of her hiding under a desk throughout the conversation) to check out a particular job website as there was a "perfect" job for me to apply to. I went to the site and checked it out... maybe it would have been a perfect job for me if I had two years experience with C++, but unfortunately, I don't. In fact, to be entirely honest, I had a bash at C for a course I did last semester and myself and my fellow stats classmates who took the course (there were four of us) were so appallingly bad at using C, despite a couple of private programming classes with the course instructor, that we didn't have to hand in any of the programming classwork - we just got full credit for the exam rather than a split between classwork and the exam. So yeah, I'm thinking applying for a job where they want C++ experience is probably not a good idea!
