A day of ADVENTURE!
Aug. 24th, 2004 09:39 amYesterday, after a year or so without even a nibble, I found myself slated for not one, but two interviews. I'd secured both of them through the good graces of friends --
andreal had told me about an entry-level position opening up at the biotech firm where he works, and a friend and classmate of mine from CSUMB had been talking about the disposition of some grant money at the research foundation where he works.
The Biotech interview was at 9, up in San Carlos; the research interview was at 3, in Elkhorn Slough (a name that should be familiar to anyone who's heard me talk about my capstone thesis). That's right -- opposite directions, one 30 miles north of our place, the other 50 miles south. My li'l purple car got a workout.
( In which Your Obedient Serpent gets caught in traffic. )
( In which Your Obedient Serpent gets flummoxed by the most elementary of questions. )
( In which Your Obedient Serpent finds that his reputation precedes him. )
