Find the thumb dumb in your ear brain.

Today I had my first face-to-face job interview of this round. The pay is at the bottom of my acceptable range and I would have to wear a tie, but the job looks quite interesting. The interview ran two hours and I babbled a bit, but there was rapport. We'll see.

This evening I had definitely the stupidest phone interview of my life: a technical Unix quiz of the "what command line would you use for this job" variety, obviously meant to be written, administered over the phone by a technically illiterate pimp who called both the slash and hyphen a "dash" and was hopelessly confused by the notion of a pipe. My brain hurt and my scalp tensed.

arkady is over again this evening. redcountess has been watching West Wing series 2. I have been slowly beating Liz's FreeBSD machine into working. (The OpenOffice 1.1.4 package is best installed with -f after you've installed ORBit from ports.) I have also installed the prerequisites for MediaWiki on my PC. Final payslip from old employer came today. Still looking for that unemployed ennui kthx.
