Job Interview, DreamWidth is cool.
After yesterday's post cross-posted to LiveJournal, I realized the entry on my lj wasn't using the default icon, but instead the same icon I used in the DreamWidth entry. I'm guessing it's because they both had the same keyword and DW's crosspost included that icon keyword. This gave me an excuse to upload more icons to DW since I had several empty icon slots. It also made me realize how many icons I have on LJ that I don't use.
I also found DreamWidth's user tags are much more general than LJ's user tags, mostly with the inclusion of the "site" parameter.

And they'll show up the same on both sites.
It's the little things that make me happy sometimes.
I posted my resume to craigslist last night and have already had four responses: three phone calls and one email. The first of the phone calls sounded like it was from an Indian call center and came at 7AM. She said she'd send me more information via email but I haven't seen it yet.
The second phone call was from a guy wanting me to create a few pages on wikipedia for him, detailing himself, his band from the '70s, and his current company. He's willing to pay $40/hr for the work. I told him I'd research wikipedia's article guidelines and get back to him.
The third call was from a recruiter at Volt that I hadn't spoke with before offering me an interview with Microsoft. Though the address he gave me is the same building I went for the Video Game Tester Orientation. Maybe Volt just works that close with Microsoft, maybe I'm meeting a hiring manager at Volt who can place me in Microsoft, or maybe the recruiter on the phone was confused.
Either way, I have to be in Redmond at 9AM tomorrow. Which means I should probably also shave tonight. And allow upwards of an hour travel time...
My hair's grown out to a little bit beyond buzz-cut length. The longest it's been for a while.
