Job doing jobs for a job board

So the interview at Monster.com went well. Considering that part of the interview was with Christine (aka “Mia”) and her co-workers and I was one of the people who interviewed her when she applied to The Monster Board four years ago, I guess that was to be expected. She was asking loaded questions just to […]

It’s 2002. It’s 2002. It’s 2002…

I’ve been so busy thinking/planning for Anime Boston 2003, that I’ve found myself thinking that it’s 2003 right now. I still know the con isn’t for 13+ months, but I’ve got “2003” stuck in my head. Maybe I just never got used to the idea of it being 2002 since at one time “2002” seemed […]

Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and everything in between

I went up to Maine this past weekend. Apparently nobody knew I was going since they were all surprised to see me. I guess nobody listened when I said I was going to go back on Friday or Saturday. I had a phone interview with Monster.com yesterday. It wasn’t really an “interview” though since I’ve […]

Another late update

Jody, Michi, Nikki, and Matt came over on Wednesday to celebrate my birthday. That was fun. We watched MST3K, Invader Zim, Dragon Half, and some other stuff, played “Kill Dr. Lucky”, had cake, and stuff like that. Michi made a great cake…and I’ve still got 1/3rd of it left over. Jody made me a shirt […]

Maine. Blah.

I’m going to go up to Maine today. Probably be back tomorrow. I’ll do some laundry at the house and take lots of pictures so I can make some QuickTime VR panoramas. My mother’s birthday (not that she celebrates them) is just a couple days before they move out, so I think a virtual tour […]

It’s March already?!

Dammit, it’s “September 11th”! Stop calling it “Nine-Eleven”! That sounds too much like “7-Eleven”. That bugs the hell out of me. I dunno why. Maybe it’s like I can’t stand it when people use “email” instead of “e-mail”. Countless exceptions aside, word “email” should be pronounced similar to “emissary”, “emory”, and “empty”…”em-ale”. Hyphenate it in […]

Interview

Got an interview on Thursday afternoon. Woo! 🙂 It’s about 45 minutes away and that commute would be a pain, but if they’ll pay me a decent salary then I won’t complain. Had our first real Anime Boston staff meeting on Saturday. Was nice to meet everyone. We didn’t accomplish much, but that wasn’t really […]

Starting at the end?

So that guy called be back and wants to have me in for an interview next week. (Woo hoo!) …but it was odd. Instead of first asking me about my background like most HR people who call me, he starts by asking if I have any questions about the company. I thought that was odd. […]

Jobs and stuff

I’ve noticed there seem to be a lot more openings posted on Monster.com lately. It comes and goes in waves, but I haven’t seen this many potential jobs in my region/field in a long time. I just applied to a bunch a few minutes ago. I got a message on my machine earlier today about […]

Rejection!

I’m getting used to this kind of e-mail… Thank you for the telephone interview for the Web Designer position with PUMA North America, Inc. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer you a position at this time as we have other candidates whose background and skills are a closer match to our current job requirements. We […]
