Doncha just hate it when you spend 48hrs gearing up for an important meeting, you polish your portfolio case, relable all the stuff in your portfolio, shine your shoes and then have the whole thing fall apart? Dammit. I was suppose to go to Knowcean Software today for a possible freelance contract position, so I crossed my “i”s and dotted my “t”s and ransacked my hard drive for the latest stuff to put into my portfolio only to get to the office and discover… there’s nobody in the office! I asked on another floor if there was anyone in Knowcean, the office on the entire second floor, and they thought they had moved. Im sitting in the lobby all confused and stuff with Japanese school girls coming in and out of the building. My cell rings. “Ah ha!” I think and answer it with a smile, thinking the interviewer just gave me the wrong address. Nope. Its the retail job for the Mac re-seller calling me in for an interview later today. So not a total loss… As Im on the streetcar home, the VP of Knowcean Sales calls me and apologizes for missing me, they had to go “out of the office for an emergency” We rescheduled. What kind of emergencies are on a Friday afternoon around lunchtime, kids? Thats right! Martini emergencies! STAT!<\/p>\n

I’ll post more after my Carbon Computing meeting…see ya!<\/p>\n

5:30PM<\/em> Dammit…In the interview, they asked me what the difference is between notebook RAM and desktop RAM as well as the difference between Rasterized and PostScript printing. I was wrong on both. Dammit! If they hire me I will be suprised. Okay thats harsh but I was not very tech-y for a computer store. I nailed the customer service end though. Im sure of that. The General Manager liked me, I think. Time will tell. Wish me luck.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
