Anthony’s Ramblings

I applied for a job (Management/Information Systems Tech.) with the Sunnyvale School District a while back. They called me and scheduled a preliminary interview. It was very short…probably 5 minutes. They asked me a few questions and sent me on my way. I thought it was a bit too fast, but apparently not. I got a call the very next morning from them wanting me to do a final interview. So, judgement day is Friday. I’m excited. Whatever the outcome is, it’ll be a good experience.

I figure, if I can get a job that I would most likely be applying for after I’ve got my degree before I’ve got my degree, why not?! It’ll take a little longer for me to get that degree…but I’m in no hurry. No matter what I do, I’ll always be moving ahead. The degree will be ways away, but I’ll be building my resume/experience in return.

Update (7 Nov. 2005): I got second place in the SESD interviewing, which means the first place in not getting the job. Oh well! Was my first official interview, anyways. Good practice.

Oh yeah. I went to Wal-Mart today and bought me a pair of “work-out” shorts and a “work-out” shirt. Now all I need is a duffle bag and I’ll look like a professional. I still couldn’t believe that the shorts were twice the price of the shirt, when they’re about half the material. Oh well.

Oh, and for those of you who want to do Jabber, but don’t know how, I’m working on a step-by-step guide using Gaim…just to make your life easier. I should have is posted by no later than the end of the week.

Sam brought to my attention the nice Google Page Rank my blog has. A nice fat ZERO…which translates to crap. Not that I care or anything, but I wonder if it has to do with me linking random words in my posts to websites related to them (like I did for Wal-Mart)? Oh well. I mean, hell…tuxsys.com has a 2!!! Take a look at that page!!! lol

Apparently Jorge’s neighbor was having issues changing the flat tire on his Ford Ranger. Keep in mind, this guy has “Disabled Veteran” license plates. Here’s a 30 second clip:

Sam and I went to InShape City today. I have to be honest, I was a bit nervous at first. I got a quick tour of the place and a week guest pass. I rather like it. Since I’m a school employee, it’s $70 to join and $20 a month. I’m not sure what it is regularly, but that’s not bad…considering you get access to a personal trainer, group classes, and everything the gym has to offer. I’m gonna ride the rest of the week out and see how it goes. So far, I’m joining. It’s a matter of: Can I make a habit of going on a regular basis? I believe I can.

Customer: I’m trying to connect to the Internet with your CD, but it just doesn’t work. What am I doing wrong?
Tech support: OK, you’ve got the CD in the CD drive, right?
Customer: Yeah….
Tech support: And what sort of computer are you using?
Customer: Computer? Oh no, I haven’t got a computer. It’s in the CD player and all I get is weird noises. Listen…..
Tech support: Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!!

Our AOL account was finally cancelled…after the 3 years my dad’s work was paying for it.

Why?
Originally dad was using his AOL account for work e-mail, and they’d rather pay for his account than have him switch e-mail addresses. Of course, 3 months later they set up their own e-mail server, but kept paying the AOL bill until now.

What does this mean?
Since my AIM Screen Name was also my AOL Screen Name, it does not work any more, and I don’t quite feel like making a new AIM Screen Name.

Solution!
There are a few people who I talk to over AIM and would still like to. This just means they’ll have to get a Jabber account. . Not to worry, friends. I will help you do just that.
