Update
Had a job interview several days ago. On one hand, it went well; I wasn't asked any of the typical eye-roller HR questions like "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" or "What do you consider your best/worst quality?" On the other hand, I'm practically guaranteed to not get the job, because I lack experience crucial to the position (lots of database knowledge). He did mention he might call me in for a less prestigious (no benefits) position, but the job is basically breaking (no, not cracking!) other people's code, which is something I enjoy (and I made this clear to him during the interview). On top of that, he said he'd definitely get in touch with me should a more programming-, less database-oriented position open up. Honestly, I don't expect to ever hear from the guy again, but hey.
I'm about half-way into assembling a new grill (part of Andrea's Mother's Day present). Found out I assembled part of it wrong and need to undo a couple of steps before being able to proceed. That disgusted me enough I've left the thing alone for the past couple of days. In my defense, the instructions were pretty confusing on the step I screwed up. They said to slot two nearly identical pieces into two other pieces, with one of the pieces being on the right. I took that to mean the piece was supposed to be on the side labeled "right" in the instruction booklet, but actually, it was supposed to be on the right side as I was to be facing the partially-built contraption. I took a guess at what they meant and guessed wrong. In retrospect, I should have peeked ahead in the instruction booklet to see the correct orientation (they didn't show the correct orientation in the diagram for the step itself!).
