- canceled the EA Tiburon telephone interview. I just can't see myself moving to Florida. The interview would have been great interview practice, but it would have been dishonest to lead them on. I imagine that the technical interviewers have enough on there schedules as it is. I mean it is EA after all ;-)
- 10am interview at Nexa Technologies - lasted until 2pm. Time flys when you're having fun. Since I lost track of time, I thought that it was just after 12 when it was over. Without lunch and dwindling caffeine in my bloodstream - my mental exhaustion was compounded. I think I made a good impression. I hope. With such a varied project with so many components, I'm sure I could learn a lot there. We'll see.
- The same headhunter that set me up with the interview called a few more times for interview recon info. So, so tired.
- Got (yet another) call from the headhunter. The call starts out sounding morose (doesn't bode well), talks about the people that I interviewed with and then says they would like to "extend you an offer...[pause]". So I interjected "But?!", to which he responded "but? oh - uh well for the position of programmer at a salary of $NN,NNN a year, when would you like to start? there is the matter of the drug test and background check"
Sweet! Less than a week unemployed and I already got a job offer for between the GameSpy and CodeIt salaries. And I havn't even received an unemployment check yet.
As for the drug test? Unless somebody spiked the water - they will be amazed at the clarity of the results. I'm nothing like Flinklocke's Priest party companion
