If you get it, remember not to look on Ebay between edits, it's damaging to your pocketbook

I tried dude... I got ya one, and I still don't know how you got passed over (although I still think you're better off... PA went to hell in the past 3 weeks).

Now there's a hiring freeze in Engineering, so there's nothing I can do.

Haha, no worries. I can take this SBC job till the hiring freeze is lifted.

Well, I thought it was going to be a job (lowercase j). Like delivering fruit from Placerville to Sacramento. Or painting houses. Or putting bits of information into a computer, w/o really thinking.

Nope, its a Job (capital J). Like one of those thingies you got.

Not my best interview (I still think the IGT one went the best, but alas...) but not the worst either. Probably didn't help that I thought it was a 'j'ob, so I didn't prepare for the 'J'ob type interview

Oh well, 2 week and we'll find out how it went.

You know, an easier differentiation would be 'j'ob vs. Career. Anyway, nice work..I've heard good things about working at SBC.

Anyways, its not actually for SBC, but another company that does contract work for them.

...at least that's what the lady on the phone at Dell told me when I tried to explain that someone purchased something with my stolen credit card.
