interesting interview

ok about that interview. i do believe there was some bit of miscommunication between the advertising company and the recruitment agency. the ad was posted as "web developer" but they were looking for a "web designer". gosh.

so anyway i woke quite early, dressed up formally with my tie and barely made it in time at 10am at the advertiser's office. parking was horribly hard to find in town, and when i paid for it i found out it was even more horrible. $6.30 for an hour or so of parking. and it was in the next building somemore, as the building i was heading to didn't have any public parking.

the first thing i saw when i opened the glass door (well ok technically i didn't have to open the /glass/ door to look through it but you get my point) were cubicles. blue and low partitions section off the main floor of their office into little 3-walled rooms for their employees. the big heads have their own offices in the back with windows... and i waited. and i waited. and i went to the washroom a bit. and i continued to wait. the plastic chair didn't feel to comfortable.

the interviewer finally apologised and got me into a meeting room for the interview. and that was when i found out about the designer/developer thing. but we got on with the interview anyway. i didn't quite mind being a web designer, though i was wondering if i'm ever going to be up to the task. they'll think about it and let me know the next day if they ever decide to hire me. to which i'll think about it.

i do believe i'm in a bit of limbo right now. darn it. i always whine about limbo here limbo there. not like i want to but i've got that feeling. everyone tells me i'll find a job sooner or later. well yeah i guess since they'd been through this stage before... well now it's my turn then. a lot of these situations are indeterminate. nobody knows how long will it take before i get a job. not even if they say that i'll find one "soon", because "soon" can vary. well at least i'm glad i've got the previous ippt window settled one side. my birthday... crept away quietly. and now it's less than a week to chinese new year. that's the next limbo i'm referring to. well yes it's just the first 3 days, but which company in their right mind would have their employees looking through their emails for job applications during this period.

somebody i spoke to is probably right about something. i'll have to gradually make some changes around here.
