Still looking for work. Well, "looking." I think I'm approaching the point where I'd really rather not go back, to be honest. But I wasn't thrilled with the prospect to start with, so... whatever, I guess. I'm still going on interviews, although not a whole lot. Everything seems to be in Northern Virginia lately, and I'm sorry, but fuck that. I'd prefer to starve to death up here. Besides, there are good jobs out there, I just have to figure out where they are. On the plus side, though, Google called me today, offering to set up a technical screening call. I don't actually think that'll go anywhere, since their interviews are notoriously difficult, but at least I can be sure my resume currently looks pretty good, right?

Outside of tedious interviewing, I was up at my parents' place for the weekend, helping them tear down the old tool shed. I have to say, destroying things is way more satisfying than building them. In particular it's a lot of fun to hoist yourself up by the rafters and hang there while you kick a panel off the roof from the inside. That, and wow did we have a lot of fucking spiders in that shed. Judging by all the spider egg-sacs we found, I think several generations lived and died feeding entirely on the ants that built a nest in the walls. (Yeah, that description should also explain why it was time to destroy the thing, huh?)

Oh, and I'm taking a little trip to NYC this weekend to go see Esther, so that should be fun.
