MADLINKINGZ!
Loooong post (for me at least) featuring nonsense, boring things you don't care about, and my attempt at madlinking. Cut to not kill your F-page.
(Fun Fact: LJ autosaves drafts now! Yay! Or did that always happen and I've just been really out of it?)
My interview on Monday was scary/sexy. The guy did not ask me a single behavioral question, so I did not get to use any of my pre-prepared answers about my goals/strengths/weaknesses/successes/failures/etc. :( Instead, he asked me what I've covered in my classes, and then gave me problems to do for pretty much the entire time. It wasn't really technical, which is good. It was mostly like problem-solving, brain teaser type questions. And that's hot. (I think he had more technical problems, but he didn't give them to me because he knew I haven't learned the stuff yet.)
(Fun Fact: If you were on a planet that was perfectly smooth, and you wrapped a string around its equator, and you cut the string and augmented 6 inches onto it, and you re-wrapped it around the planet so that it's equally high above the ground all around, you CAN fit your hand under the string.)
On Tuesday, God cried like a little girl. (Read: It rained a lot.) Only around 30 people showed up for my morning class of 140 students. (To be fair, only 70-ish people show up on any given day.) AMD came to present, wasting a lot of paper in the process because they printed out copies of the entire PowerPoint presentation--one-sided and only 2 slides per page--that was completely useless anyway because the slides only had random quotes on it and not any pertinent information. Gah. [/rant] Sad, sad highlights of the class: 1)Our prof austerely told the presenter to not use any more "bad words" after he said "crappy" twice. Heh, considering back when EddyOnCrack presented, he said the F-word. 2)At the end, AMD people were giving out prizes, one of which was an omgsospecial!gaming mousepad, which prompted the presenters (monkeys) and some students (other monkeys) to rave about how much they heart gaming (to have a monkeyfest).
(Fun Fact: After watching Dogma, I have trouble picturing God as anything other than Alanis Morissette frolicking through the fields and picking flowers and poking people's noses.)
In other primate news, that afternoon in Accounting, we learned that credit card companies are being taken over by monkeys. For the tl;dr peeps, you know how there are special Visa or Mastercards that are like for every dollar you spend on it, you get one dollar in store credit or frequent-flyer miles or whatever? This is like that, except you get one dollar in virtual Warcraft currency so that you can "buy a better sword and live to slay dragons for another day." Doomers. If that's the future of credit cards, then the future=Planet of the Apes. In other Tuesday news, I jumped onto LD's Elliott-love bandwagon. :)
(Fun Fact: When I was in fourth grade-ish, I had a crush on Sun Wu Kong, the Monkey King. I wanted to use a picture of Wishbone-as-SunWuKong to link to, but I can't find one. :( )
Today, I went to Hoonay's husband's birthday party. (Btw, we pwned their ACME statue this year. :p ) We had cake, we sang him "Happy Birthday", and you can also take a picture with him and he'll autograph the picture...yeah, we're retarded. I saw Ben Streetman (our Dean of College of Engineering) in person for the first time, and he's short. He looked like he was almost my height (5'3"). That's sad. Then I went to have lunch with fellow ECE women. (HAHAHAHA!) Our lovely department Chairman Tony Ambler aka Drunk British Guy aka Lord John Marbury stopped by to entertain us. When I went into the room, he was showing off his PDA again and talking about how it can double as a foot massager because it vibrates. That's hot. ;) He's also mooching off of ADA regulations to get us more women's restrooms in the ENS. :D
(Fun Fact: Tony Ambler lives about 10 minutes away from Michael Dell. Yes, I stalk people. Why do you ask?)
In other news, my chest/stomach has been hurting a lot this week. There was a time when I had chronic stomach pains in middle school, but we never got it checked out and it eventually went away by itself. It came back this week. Ugh. Doomers I'm going to get stomach cancer when I'm thirty.
(Fun Fact: This is the best Harry Potter/Colbert Report crossover fic ever written. Probably because it's the only HP/CR crossover fic ever written.)
