Day 99

[cptntiller]

This is what I look like when I'm trying to convince you to hire me.

Tonight was the career fair on campus. It went very well. A couple of companies expressed very sincere interest, one is going to call soon, one wants me to put in an application, and the third I have an interview for friday. Yikes.


In other news. First rehearsal tonight. Noises Off is going to be awesome and insane all at once. The set is ridiculous, it revolves. We have to strike all the props army style because theres a window in the middle, and doors are opening and closing. Immediately following this, theres a yell, and we turn the stage, meanwhile a mic is being set, more props are being cleared, and lights backstage are being pulled. As soon as the stage is turned, I run to my place at the fly for a cyk while backboards are being put in place. You want to see this show.

i dunno. something a bit weird and scary about such a big hand being pushed towards my face.

my favorite career fair story: a former co-worker of mine moved to Calif with her husband. she'd been doing desktop support for years and was tired of it but wasn't sure what she wanted to do. on a whim she went to a local career fair without even taking a resume. she looked around the room at all of the grim faces and shook her head. then, from a back corner, she heard laughter.

"that's where i want to work!" she said.

she went back towards the laughter and ended up talking with a group of people from cisco for a while. they liked her so much they asked for a resume. she didn't have one but decided she'd write one up on the spot for them. in crayon.

she got the job.

(hope you do to -- one with some laughter to it!)

haha, sorry to be creepy.

Thats an awesome (and hilarious) story. cisco actually has an office near me and I was considering applying to them.

Thanks for the well-wishing, I appreciate it.
