_stink_ | hello | 14:13 |
cmaloney | howdy | 14:24 |
jcastro | cmaloney: hey are you the list admin for mug? | 14:31 |
jcastro | I think my mail got stuck | 14:31 |
cmaloney | It went through | 14:32 |
cmaloney | Unless you posted another message | 14:32 |
cmaloney | Of course it isn't showing in the archives. :( | 14:32 |
jcastro | oh | 14:32 |
cmaloney | But it went through | 14:33 |
cmaloney | if you want to re-send I won't mind. | 14:33 |
cmaloney | Huh, apparently the archives for announce aren't working either. :( | 14:33 |
cmaloney | Checking if there's a problem | 14:36 |
cmaloney | but yeah, it did go through | 14:36 |
cmaloney | I got a copy | 14:36 |
cmaloney | Finished another interview. Woo woo. | 20:27 |
Zimdale | \o/ | 20:28 |
Zimdale | How'd it go? | 20:29 |
cmaloney | Think it went OK | 20:32 |
cmaloney | We'll see if I get another interview and the "coding challenge" | 20:33 |
Zimdale | Anywhere good? | 20:38 |
rick_h | woot! coding challenge! | 20:43 |
rick_h | cmaloney: interview today? | 20:43 |
cmaloney | Yeah, had an interview just a few minutes ago | 20:47 |
cmaloney | still beating the bushes | 20:47 |
cmaloney | Zimdale: Place called "Ambassador" | 20:48 |
cmaloney | Referral marketing. | 20:48 |
cmaloney | Django / Python / REST / PostgreSQl | 20:49 |
rick_h | not a bad stack there | 20:55 |
cmaloney | Yeah, not too shabby. | 20:59 |
brousch__ | Bad day at work. 40% laid off | 21:36 |
cmaloney | brousch__: Oh no. Were you one that was let go?> | 21:42 |
brousch__ | I'm still employed. I'm the only one who can revoke all the privileges | 21:42 |
cmaloney | Oh fuck. :( | 21:43 |
brousch__ | I assume I'll be let go when that's done, and maybe after surplus equipment is sold | 21:43 |
cmaloney | :"( | 21:43 |
brousch__ | Don't worry about me. I had a great interview yesterday (before layoffs were announced), I have the Python side job that will give me plenty more hours, and I have 2 other interviews I could line up next week. | 21:44 |
cmaloney | Very cool | 21:44 |
cmaloney | I know I'm not worried, but it still sucks | 21:44 |
brousch__ | How's your search going? | 21:53 |
jrwren | brousch__: 40%?!?!!? holy crap! | 21:54 |
brousch__ | 11/27 | 21:55 |
cmaloney | brousch__: slow | 22:09 |
cmaloney | but I have stayed primarily on Stack Overflow Jobs | 22:10 |
Zimdale | I talked to ambassador a lil while back | 22:24 |
Zimdale | was REALLY offput by the recruiting fellow | 22:25 |
Zimdale | However they seem like a pretty solid startup with some good income | 22:26 |
cmaloney | Zimdale: orly? | 22:30 |
cmaloney | maybe I have someone different because he seemed pretty on the level | 22:31 |
Zimdale | He was just super slow, disconnected and kind of rude. | 22:32 |
cmaloney | ah | 22:32 |
Zimdale | Was like pulling teeth to get information about the company from him | 22:32 |
cmaloney | I had that with one dude. part of the problem was his skype or whatever was terrible | 22:32 |
Zimdale | Ah, I didn't get past the initial phone call with them | 22:33 |
Zimdale | seems like they made the decision prior to calling | 22:33 |
cmaloney | different place | 22:33 |
Zimdale | ah | 22:33 |
Zimdale | I've only seen a few as bad as ambassador was. Mostly what I found was a pile of consulting jobs that I wasn't really interested in | 22:34 |
cmaloney | Yeah | 23:21 |
cmaloney | I've seen a lot of "your background is impressive, but your princess is in another castle" | 23:21 |
Zimdale | Yeah that's no fun :( | 23:39 |
Zimdale | I recently had a "Host this big long coding challenge and keep it hosted, and we'll get back at you if we like it or not" just to never get back at me | 23:39 |
Zimdale | so yeah....fuck you Hello World | 23:40 |
cmaloney | Heh | 23:41 |
Zimdale | Least have enough savings and stuff not to make the job hunt dire? | 23:43 |
cmaloney | Yeah, for the most part | 23:45 |
cmaloney | It's going to get a little dire soon | 23:45 |
Zimdale | That sucks | 23:45 |
Zimdale | no fun when you have to start accepting jobs | 23:45 |
cmaloney | I'll do consultintg then | 23:46 |
cmaloney | or writing | 23:46 |
cmaloney | or pimping maybe pimping | 23:46 |
Zimdale | mmmmm pimping | 23:46 |
cmaloney | brb | 23:46 |
Zimdale | the most noble form of work | 23:46 |
