So, Mia was supposed to let me know what HR said after she met with them Tuesday afternoon, but I never heard from her. 🙁 On the plus side, I got a notice that I can apply for a few more weeks of unemployment. Sign me up! Free money!
Read More Still joblessOn Saturday I headed out to Adam’s AMV party in Wormtown. It was a great crowd and a great time was had by all. …but I think I’d have screamed (louder) if I had seen yet another Eva video. Ugh. On Sunday, I got invited to Easter dinner at Michi’s in NH. When we all […]
Read More WhaT I dId ooN my EaStr WeEkenD…by PatrickDMy web site’s down. Covad, the company that was providing the business-speed DSL line to the server, is bankrupt. Actually, they have been for a while. Brian (my friendly neighborhood sysadmin and friend with the DSL line) switched over to Verizon (yeah, I know they suck too…but they suck less than Covad) but apparently the […]
Read More Tip #252: Don’t use DSL service from a bankrupt companyMia’s boss is on vacation until next week…so that means I won’t find out if I get an offer from Monster.com until then. ARRRGH!
Read More On vacation? Until NEXT WEEK?!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.

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 […]
Read More Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and everything in betweenI’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 […]
Read More Jobs and stuffI interviewed with four people…well, actually I interviewed with two, met with one, and the HR woman just told me about the place. It seemed to go okay. I’ve had better interviews…and I’ve had much, much worse. …but after paying $13 for parking, I’d better get SOMETHING out of it. It turns out they found […]
Read More Post-InterviewIt’s snowing lightly. That’s discouraging me from going outside today. …not that I have anywhere to go. I just feel lazy staying home for several days in a row and like to go out somewhere just for a few hours so I can feel like I’ve actually accomplished something…even if it’s just checking the PO […]

So Saturday at Arisia was okay. I went to a couple panels and the Junkyard Wars competition. I rooted for the team made up of WPI students, but they came in dead last since their contraption kept tipping over. There were several periods in their schedule with NOTHING going on. Hopefully Anime Boston will avoid […]
