Feb. 21st, 2003 01:43 pmwow, it's 11ÂșC outside. perfect interviewing weather...
so i met with MGH this morning, or more accurately IBA, the Belgian company directly involved with running the cyclotron. i think it went pretty well, on the whole, and they seemed positive, but it's very hard to say. i'm no good at reading signals. i was a little surprised when the first thing they did was hand me a 20-page test, which is the first time that O(n) notation has come up in an interview for me. i was even more surprised that my nominally sysadmin/development position involved writing embedded real-time systems, but oddly enough it looks a lot like the field that i've always wanted to be in.
finishing up the LARP proceeds apace. which is good, since it runs in 8 days (panic!). the more i work on it, the more i find it fraught with annoying problems, including the restrictions of our venue. i may well like playing in Intercon LARPs, but i'm not so keen on running any more, unless they are deliberately tiny.
play's going fine, but rehearsals are getting boring, since i now spend much of them standing still on stage. maybe i should get back into improv.
too little time, and not enough to do with it. on the other hand, if i get the job they may send me to belgium for a while. that'd be different.
