Just got back from a job interview as a quality control tester for educational software. It would involve being in front of a computer 8 hrs a day M-F trying to make their programs crash and explaining how I did it to tech support in Utah. I think I did an excellent interview. The questions were better than at the English school- What primary school did you attend? ones- they asked what’s 19 x 32? What’s SQL? How would you test a DVD player? And the classic: Think of a situation where you had problems with a co-worker, how did you handle it? <\/p>\n

Wondering why the page takes longer to load and is no longer standards compliant? That’ll be the Flash header I shoved in. It’s a tad controversial in the web design world<\/a> for all kinds of reasons. Reason #1 being it’s more often than not completely pointless. I’ve never let that stand in the way of my blogging, and I’m not going to start now…<\/p>\n

There’s going to be an overhaul of this here blog one of these days, so check back often or you might miss some of the steps along the way. And you know you’d be kicking yourself for weeks if that were to happen. *fights urge to type “NOT! (c)1992″*

Answer: I alerted the appropriate authorities, made clear my expectations, documented everything, then he was ‘restructured’ and left me threats, insults and other puerile crap on my answering machine. And now he’s on the streets, if there’s any justice in the world. Actually I skipped that particular anecdote and gave the answer they were probably looking for… anyroad, should hear back in a few days. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
