so last night was a party. interestingly enough, i actually woke up this morning and found myself going to an interview with norfolk southern, or southern norfolk, or what ever premutation it is. clocking in at a mere 30 minutes, it was short, bitter, and kind of like a sitcom. five actors: three managers, an hr person, and me, the comic relief. perhaps the worst delivered joke was "those who can do program, those who can't, UML" which i didn't think came across as very interesting or amusing. then again, they also seemed pressed for time more than anything, so it could have just been me. amusing 3/4 ain't bad, right?
on a whiteboard, someone had scrawled several languages and acronyms, cryptic to the uninitiated, but second nature to me. perhaps i made the mistake of knocking visual basic in front of these people, but i just had to tell it how it is. no respectable programmer works in vb, by choice. i was asked if i had problems with cobol. are people really that afraid to try new things? all computer languages are the same at one point or another. i don't get the "problem."
well, that's done. can't drug test me now, until i come back from venezuela. by then, i should be as clean as...well, a whistle i suppose, whatever that means.
