I had lunch with Spoo yesterday (monday, since it's now 3am on tuesday) and he asked me how my head was doing, and I had to figure out a way to put it. I was like "I think I know how most people live now, without headaches." It's...I get up, my head doesn't hurt. There's not even--I was used to living with a background level of pain, that just ( Read more... )

Okay, so. You all remember the $Evil_Empire hoops I jumped through back in June? Where I interviewed for seven hours for a FTE position that ended up getting canceled?

I've kept in touch with that recruiter since then, because it was pretty obvious they wanted to hire me but the position fell through. And mostly it's been "Hey, how's it going?" " ( Read more... )

I was job hunting today, like you do, and in my searches I found a couple positions at $Evil_Empire that I thought looked interesting (I'll probably never hear back on them, but they're jobs for the week at least). So I went to the $Evil_Empire careers site to attempt to apply for them ( Read more... )

Heard back from recruiter today about the job that's been kind of jerking me around for the last few weeks. I was the hiring manager's second choice, and the position's been closed ( Read more... )

I'm not really blue. I'm tired, but I'm having tea so hopefully that'll remedy itself ( Read more... )

I called my dad today to check in with him, but made the mistake of calling during dialysis, so I'll try him again tomorrow. Oops ( Read more... )

Got a call from the contract agency this morning; interview is tomorrow at 4pm. She said she'd email me the details, and so far that email hasn't arrived, but I've got some time. I know where my interview pants are, but not my shirt or my jacket or my shoes, so I'll need to hunt those up today and iron or wash them as necessary ( Read more... )

Today's phone interview went well, if a bit unexpected in ways. The guy started the interview by asking me if I had questions for him, which threw me off-balance--that's supposed to happen at the end of the interview, not the first question. He didn't ask too many questions about my background, but asked about my skill set, threw a couple of ( Read more... )
