had my interview this morning. 1 hour of technical grilling followed by one hour of chat. the technical grilling seemed to be all ok. all questions lifted straight out microsoft and vmware exams and i had heard most of them before. it did drag on for a while but these things usually do. their building was also across the road from the last bank i worked at (which was an intellectual vacuum), and it did remind again me of how awful that place had been and how dull the work had been.
anyways, i had a suspicion that the role was very boring and constrained and it turns out it is. they were really trying to talk it up but there was no getting away from the fact it was like watching paint dry. the pay was quite good. actually its very good considering how little skill is needed to do the job, but i think i might turn it down if offered. i just know that i would get bored in 3 weeks and be looking to move again and thats not what i want to do. i would actually quite like to get settled somewhere, a bit like where i am now. i would stay here if they offered me an extra 20 grand a year, but that ain't gonna happen.
hey, who knows, maybe they thought i sucked and they don't offer me the role, and i won't have to turn it down and it all sorts itself out nicely. here's hoping they think i was rubbish. :-)
anyways, i have football tonight. i was supposed to be meeting up with friends for drink tonight but people are dropping out like 8 year olds invited to a party and funfair at the neverland ranch. am not sure that joke works since michael croked. actually it doesn't work and its very poor taste. oh well.
