Awesome weekend! The party was totally worth coming back for. Now I have to decide if I want to come back for Thanksgiving and Loscon (sci-fi convention), winter solstice and masquerade/housewarming party, and/or Hanukkah party. Can't decide!! I could come for all of them, but that is lots of travel and expensive, but all are fun activities.
Took my test today for the position in Wisconsin. There were three parts, verbal, math, and programming. The verbal and math were pretty easy, verbal was mostly logic problems, and math I got everything except one question, which I want to know if it was a trick question, but I signed something that I wouldn't share information about the test. The programming part wasn't too hard except when they didn't really give me enough information. It was written for people who don't have much experience programming, but some things just didn't make sense. For example, S is used to assign variables, so S A=5 means the variable A is equal to 5, or S A="this sucks" makes A those words. What the heck does it mean if it says S A=G=F>B Is this conditional? Does it mean A=G=F if it is greater than B? Does it mean we are assigning a true/false value, A and G will be true or falsue depending on the relationship of F and B?
Anyway, I still think I did very well. I'm good at tests. It will be really cool if I get this job, because I was kind of thinking of becoming a programmer but I didn't want to have to go back to school for several years and I wasn't really sure that's what I want to do. So maybe they'll hire me and train me and if I like it I get paid for the experience and if I don't like it I can quit and come back soon. So any day now I should find out.... |

I arranged to take the test for my Wisconsin job on Monday. I have absolutely determined they are for real, because they are paying money for a local library to proctor my exam. I told them I was running out of time to make a decision, because I'm trying to decide on housing, and that was when they got me the information for the exam. And they said that as soon as they get the results of the test they will be able to immediately tell me the answer. Which means getting the job must be entirely based on the results from my test. I'm good at tests. Unless they test me on something I know nothing about. I'm even pretty good at guessing. I don't think I wanna go to Wisconsin unless they are paying a lot of money. Like at least $40,000. I get the feeling that's what we're talking about though. I guess I'll find out next week. Or find out that I didn't get it, in which case I won't find out.........This is making me nervous, I want to know now! |

Well, I sent out a survey to several hundred professors at UCSB, and within 10 minutes I had 7 replies, which uniformly across the board say that the services I was trying to provide are not going to be taken up. Time to rethink the services I'm providing.... |

Survived two weddings, a cruise, 8 weekends driving 14 hours on avg, and now I will have a free weekend. It will be the first since the beginning of august. Now I can have some free time to:
Call Mom, David, Arion, Eric, Brian, Dad
E-mail Nvidia
Groom Sly (cat)
Flea bomb the apartment (or perhaps a less drastic measure)
Get Bread
Vacuum
Shave
Watch some House on DVD
Maybe even finish reading book I am getting training at work, which is always great. I am trying to balance that with all the random work that needs attention now. Posted via LiveJournal.app. |

I'm going to see the Doctor in a little bit. I still haven't found a new one yet, so I'm still going to my old antibiotics-cure-everything Doctor. I hope it's a productive visit, but my hopes aren't that high... :/ |
