What the hell just happened?
March 22nd, 2007Today started off on a real downer for me, but this afternoon couldnt have kicked more arse.
I had a short black to sooth the nerves and get my mind off the morning’s events. Then went up to Newlands for my interview. I arrived half an hour early and sat in the shade while the dread started to set in. Not the kind of dread you have when you have a run-in with gravity, or the kind of dread you have when you realise something big is about to fall on you, no… maybe the kind of dread you get when someone suggests putting toothpaste on a haemorrhoid – it sounds terrible but you know there’s an opportunity there somewhere. Somewhere *waves fist*
It turned out that it was to be the most relaxed interview I’ve had in my life, the guys were great, the company culture appears to be fantastic – almost google like, and I’m feeling damn positive about it. I think I left quite a good impression and I really hope they seriously consider my application. My current employer has alluded to a counter-offer, it’ll have to be substantial
Ok, now I’m offline for real
/update: charades you are! I’m at the site of The Project ™ and I’ve found a laptop, hacked the admin account and now the gibson is mine! This 256k DSL connection is sheer torture though. Internet addiction – pah! I can give up any time
