[13:23] morning [13:24] morning [14:13] <_stink_> hello [14:24] howdy [14:31] cmaloney: hey are you the list admin for mug? [14:31] I think my mail got stuck [14:32] It went through [14:32] Unless you posted another message [14:32] Of course it isn't showing in the archives. :( [14:32] oh [14:33] But it went through [14:33] if you want to re-send I won't mind. [14:33] Huh, apparently the archives for announce aren't working either. :( [14:36] Checking if there's a problem [14:36] but yeah, it did go through [14:36] I got a copy [20:27] Finished another interview. Woo woo. [20:28] \o/ [20:29] How'd it go? [20:32] Think it went OK [20:33] We'll see if I get another interview and the "coding challenge" [20:38] Anywhere good? [20:43] woot! coding challenge! [20:43] cmaloney: interview today? [20:47] Yeah, had an interview just a few minutes ago [20:47] still beating the bushes [20:48] Zimdale: Place called "Ambassador" [20:48] Referral marketing. [20:49] Django / Python / REST / PostgreSQl [20:55] not a bad stack there [20:59] Yeah, not too shabby. [21:36] Bad day at work. 40% laid off [21:42] brousch__: Oh no. Were you one that was let go?> [21:42] I'm still employed. I'm the only one who can revoke all the privileges [21:43] Oh fuck. :( [21:43] I assume I'll be let go when that's done, and maybe after surplus equipment is sold [21:43] :"( [21:44] 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] Very cool [21:44] I know I'm not worried, but it still sucks [21:53] How's your search going? [21:54] brousch__: 40%?!?!!? holy crap! [21:55] 11/27 [22:09] brousch__: slow [22:10] but I have stayed primarily on Stack Overflow Jobs [22:24] I talked to ambassador a lil while back [22:25] was REALLY offput by the recruiting fellow [22:26] However they seem like a pretty solid startup with some good income [22:30] Zimdale: orly? [22:31] maybe I have someone different because he seemed pretty on the level [22:32] He was just super slow, disconnected and kind of rude. [22:32] ah [22:32] Was like pulling teeth to get information about the company from him [22:32] I had that with one dude. part of the problem was his skype or whatever was terrible [22:33] Ah, I didn't get past the initial phone call with them [22:33] seems like they made the decision prior to calling [22:33] different place [22:33] ah [22:34] 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] Yeah [23:21] I've seen a lot of "your background is impressive, but your princess is in another castle" [23:39] Yeah that's no fun :( [23:39] 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] so yeah....fuck you Hello World [23:41] Heh [23:43] Least have enough savings and stuff not to make the job hunt dire? [23:45] Yeah, for the most part [23:45] It's going to get a little dire soon [23:45] That sucks [23:45] no fun when you have to start accepting jobs [23:46] I'll do consultintg then [23:46] or writing [23:46] or pimping maybe pimping [23:46] mmmmm pimping [23:46] brb [23:46] the most noble form of work
