So the place I interviewed at last thursday called me back on monday morning, asking if I could come in this week to meet with a couple of the department heads, and sort of do some hands-on work with them, to get a feel for the job itself, outside of just talking about it. Needless to say, I jumped at the opportunity and went in on tuesday morn. I take it as a very good sign I'm in the running for the job and I'm certainly being cautiously optimistc.

Things went well that day, too. The guys I met with seemed to like me and how I did; the one guy said he'd put in a good word for me when the time came, and I don't quite see any reason why he'd be bullshitting me. Plus, just the way he worded things, like, "Don't worry about remembering everything today; when you start, I'll write you up some instructions and stuff." So, yay me.

And not a minute too soon, if I do get it. Work was dead today, and before my show started at 3:00, I opened up my hotmail and started to respond to an e-mail some girl wrote me. I didn't finish it by 3:00, so I just minimized the window and got down to work. I guess there had been modem problems in the room I was in, though, so soon a couple of guys from engineering/networking came to check them out. The one guy asked if he could use the other computer in the room to check stuff out, and I said "sure, just log me out of that one." He proceeds to open up the Explorer window and FUCKING READ MY E-MAIL. He made an offhand comment like, "This doesn't look like it's related to captioning," to which I just responded, "That's personal - I said close out of it." He PROCEEDED TO KEEP READING THE E-MAIL, so I just reached over and clicked it off; I didn't care if he's management or not.

So he starts making comments to the underling in the room with him, like, "I'll have to talk to Mark about people goofing off online on company time again" (Mark is my department's head). And "People wonder why there's so much spyware on the computers."

Yeah, MSN is fuckin' FLOODING the computers with spyware. And I got a nasty trojan from CNN.COM, too. fuckin' twat. I'll probably get in trouble for this. Whatev.

anyway, on the note that I may have a better job soon, today's lyrics:

Iggy Pop - "Success"
Here comes success, here comes success
Over my hill, over my hill
Here comes success, here comes success
Here comes my car, here comes my car
Here comes my Chinese rug, here comes my Chinese rug
Here comes success, here comes success

In the last ditch, in the last ditch
I'll think of you, I'll think of you
In the last ditch, in the last ditch
I will be true, I will be true
Sweetheart I'm telling you, sweetheart I'm telling you
Here comes the zoo, here comes the zoo

Here comes success, here comes success
Oh, hooray success, hooray success
Here comes success, hooray success
Oh oh success, oh oh success
I can't help myself, I can't help myself
I just got to got to got to, I just got to got to got to...
I can't stand it, got to got to got to

Here comes my face, here comes my face
It's plain bizarre, it's plain bizarre
Here comes my face, here comes my face
Out of the crowd, out of the crowd
Sweetheart I'm telling you, sweetheart I'm telling you
Here comes the zoo, here comes the zoo

In the last ditch, in the last ditch
Here comes success, here comes success
Here comes success, here comes success
I'm gonna do the twist, I'm gonna do the twist
I'm moved, man, I'm wiggged, oh I'm moved and I'm wigged
I'm crazy, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go crazy. And if you, maybe you'd like..
Let's blast off!

Alright! Baby, let's blast off, oh, baby let's blast off
Blast off on success, blast off on success
Oh you slay me, oh you slay me, baby, ooooh, you slay me, baby
I'm gonna do the twist, I'm gonna do the twist
I'm gonna hop like a frog, I'm gonna hop like a frog
I'm gonna go out on the street and do anything I want
I'm gonna go out on the street and do anything
Oh, shit! Oh, shit!
