OK, the weirdness of working on interviewing people for my own job has just gotten weirder…
One of the interviewees today worked at the same place as my first ex-wife. This is *not* a large company that she works for, either. Not tiny, but not an international conglomerate either…maybe a few hundred employees. […]
You know, there are some actors who will always have trouble escaping the confines of a single role they have played. For me, Jake Gyllenhaal is one such person. He *is* Bubble Boy.
Bubble Boy, meet Jarhead. Bubblehead? Jarboy? Pffft… BUBBLE BOY!!!!
Well, that sure was fun and unusual at the same time. A couple days ago I wrote that I would be taking part in some interviews for people wanting the very job I am doing. A day or so before that I mentioned the person who I dubbed “I Hope To Replace You” […]
This picture just showed up in my inbox from one of the managing partners at the law firm that has me under contract. I’m always impressed when I encounter a Republican with an intact sense of humor. This guy definitely qualifies.
I learned today that my supervisor has narrowed down the list of candidates for my contract position to two. She continues to reassure me that it is her desire to have me stay on permanently, and the time I spent talking with her today seems to back that up. How so? Simple. […]
If I am ever commissioned to study what types of sounds travel the farthest and have the greatest penetration power, I am going to put “squealing preschool girl” near the top of my list of sounds to investigate.
I work on the 15th floor and have double-paned glass in my office window. About 150 feet […]
Yes, it goes deeper than “I am too good of a geek to do anything else”.
And you are?
My current assignment comes with a view:
The hilltop directly ahead is the Queen Anne neighborhood, and the body of water to the right is Lake Union. Lake Union is a bulge in the waterway between Lake Washington and Puget Sound. It seems more like an “inlet” than anything. *shrug*
As you can […]
At lunch today, I walked towards the center of downtown Seattle in search of food. I found a Indian place with some nummy take-out curry chicken, but I also found 3 Starbucks coffee shops. Keep in mind, I was not looking for them and I only walked about 3 blocks each direction. […]
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, but I got a job offer today. Yes, the interview at the law firm went that well.
I start on a contract basis Tuesday morning, but the odds of it becoming a permanent position seem pretty solid. Cross your fingers for me, […]
Really. He sucks.
On Monday morning, I have two job interviews. One at 8:30 in downtown Seattle for a contract position, and one at 10:00 in Renton (15 miles out of DT?) for a regular FT position. It will be tight, but the first place knows I need to be out of there by 9:15.
The early […]
I am just lacking in anything to write about. I’ve heard a few good jokes lately, but they are the kind that do not belong here.
Hopefully I will have something to say soon; even I am getting bored.
