[13:23] <cmaloney> morning
[13:24] <jrwren> morning
[14:13] <_stink_> hello
[14:24] <cmaloney> howdy
[14:31] <jcastro> cmaloney: hey are you the list admin for mug?
[14:31] <jcastro> I think my mail got stuck
[14:32] <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
[14:33] <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. :(
[14:36] <cmaloney> Checking if there's a problem
[14:36] <cmaloney> but yeah, it did go through
[14:36] <cmaloney> I got a copy
[20:27] <cmaloney> Finished another interview. Woo woo.
[20:28] <Zimdale> \o/
[20:29] <Zimdale> How'd it go?
[20:32] <cmaloney> Think it went OK
[20:33] <cmaloney> We'll see if I get another interview and the "coding challenge"
[20:38] <Zimdale> Anywhere good?
[20:43] <rick_h> woot! coding challenge!
[20:43] <rick_h> cmaloney: interview today?
[20:47] <cmaloney> Yeah, had an interview just a few minutes ago
[20:47] <cmaloney> still beating the bushes
[20:48] <cmaloney> Zimdale: Place called "Ambassador"
[20:48] <cmaloney> Referral marketing.
[20:49] <cmaloney> Django / Python / REST / PostgreSQl
[20:55] <rick_h> not a bad stack there
[20:59] <cmaloney> Yeah, not too shabby.
[21:36] <brousch__> Bad day at work. 40% laid off
[21:42] <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
[21:43] <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> :"(
[21:44] <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
[21:53] <brousch__> How's your search going?
[21:54] <jrwren> brousch__: 40%?!?!!? holy crap!
[21:55] <brousch__> 11/27
[22:09] <cmaloney> brousch__: slow
[22:10] <cmaloney> but I have stayed primarily on Stack Overflow Jobs
[22:24] <Zimdale> I talked to ambassador a lil while back
[22:25] <Zimdale> was REALLY offput by the recruiting fellow
[22:26] <Zimdale> However they seem like a pretty solid startup with some good income
[22:30] <cmaloney> Zimdale: orly?
[22:31] <cmaloney> maybe I have someone different because he seemed pretty on the level
[22:32] <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
[22:33] <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
[22:34] <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
[23:21] <cmaloney> Yeah
[23:21] <cmaloney> I've seen a lot of "your background is impressive, but your princess is in another castle"
[23:39] <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
[23:40] <Zimdale> so yeah....fuck you Hello World
[23:41] <cmaloney> Heh
[23:43] <Zimdale> Least have enough savings and stuff not to make the job hunt dire?
[23:45] <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
[23:46] <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
