New photos of our gardens. Persian ivy, giant alliums, lilies, my first bearded iris (it smells like vanilla frosting!), and Prince Oscar of Sardinia.

First day

So… tired…

I’m in! I think…

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007 by Aabra

I’m going in tomorrow morning to sort of “shadow” at the company I mentioned before. If it goes well, I’m in… right? They gave me a job app, so that’s encouraging. It’s all sort of strange…

*Third* interview??

I have a third interview tomorrow, with the company I mentioned before. I guess they really want to make sure I’m a good fit, or maybe they had a lot of finalists? Hmm…

MST3K will never air again

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007 by Aabra

* Reporter plays summer movie previews for teenagers. Ouch, tough crowd. * Film rumor and review site Hollywood Elsewhere is refreshingly smart. Check it out. * NY Times explains why MST3K will never air again. How depressing. (NYT logins) * I reeeeeally wish I’d never heard of I Can Has Cheezeburger?

I know the right answer isn’t “money”

Saturday, May 12th, 2007 by Aabra

Interview yesterday. I think it went well– they asked me to come in for a second interview next week. Think good thoughts. Night before the interview Matt and I spent an hour on that list of the most common interview questions I sent everyone, so I think that helped. Thanks to everyone who contributed, by [...]

Why isn’t Ken Jennings running??

Thursday, May 10th, 2007 by Aabra

Jeopardy champion Ken Jennings on what fellow Mormon Mitt Romney was thinking when he said Battlefield Earth was his favorite book: “The Mormon question isn’t enough; I want to be linked with an even iffier religious movement!” By the way, Jennings would go with Grapes of Wrath himself– nice! ———————————————————————— Had my second interview yesterday.
