The prelude is gone. Sniff sniff... I'll miss that car. The apartment is gone too. Which will I miss more? Dunno... so many fond memories associated with both. 18 hour car trips to KS, countless conversations about the pronunciation of various words - among other things. But life moves on. Speaking of which, I had a phone interview of sorts (really a pre-interview screening) today. I think I did ok, didn't know all the answers but then I'm no expert... I think I exhibited a good level of knowledge... however I'm up against people with 10+ years professional programming experience, so that's hard to compete against. I'm fairly certain that this isn't my dream job, and not my dream company, but I'm certainly willing to give it a try - assuming once I get more details about the job it sounds good.
