    I have an interview today with a gubmint job. Last time I interviewed with these folks was for a tier 1 tech specialist job. They emailed me and told me that I didn't get that one, but they highly recommended that I apply for the tier 2/3 jobs they were posting soon. So I did that and now I have an interview in... 3 1/2 hours? This is one of the few interviews in... ever that I'm not super freaked out about. Not sure if that's a good sign or what, but I really want to get out of this current place. Fingers crossed good things happen!

    @TheRoadVirus

    Good luck! :)

    I just had a lady drop off flyers and business cards for her technique to improve sales through some kind of yoga touch therapy to increase bloodflow to the prefrontal cortex of the brain. It looks like some kind of reiki yoga movement and touching combo thing.

    According to their informational video on their website, this is going to usher in a new epoch and a new stage of evolution. The flyer even says "Become an Urban Monk"

    How can I afford not to attend this event?!

    It's 75 degrees in the shade right now. I'm sitting outside under a popup tent, debugger and probe attached to instrumentation sitting out here, testing out new functionality. Texas is awesome.

    in other news. my car is getting repaired for, well, at least a feasible price. my laptop got dropped about a foot and wouldn't turn on, but luckily reseating the ribbon cables inside fixed it.
    I'm seriously just a nervous wreck after last night.

    @JoeUser you weild a power beyond the comprehension of many mortals.

    Those lemurs did their job! Interview went really well and I should have a Yarr/narr by the end of next week they say. This would be a permanent job instead of salaried, higher yearly merit increases, and maybe a pay bump. Very yes please.
