They offered the programming job to the other guy, so I guess it’s back to the job searching… 😕

Still no news on the job. They were supposed to make their decision this week, so I should find out tomorrow. Things have been getting worse around the office with Doug being out for two weeks with a broken arm and now all of the network and Internet problems that are going on. Students, faculty, and staff are calling left and right with problems accessing the Internet and we don’t have any solutions. I don’t even like to say “we” in this case because we (Help Desk) are not in charge of the network and don’t have any control over it, so of course we don’t have any solutions. What we don’t have are answers, because they (Networking) don’t have the solutions. Understand? It is just very frustrating to have to tell people that things are not working and that the causes are unknown.

I had my interview today for the programmer/analyst position at the University. I think it went pretty well.

It didn’t get started until an hour after it was scheduled due to the fact the some of the programmers were working on a portion of the website for displaying tax information. If they had been interviewing someone outside of the department, I highly doubt they would have made them wait that long. But what can you do? It’s over now. Then about halfway through the interview a bird must have come in through the ventilation somehow and was walking around in the celing! So we moved to another room to finish up. It was interesting.

They should be making their decision in the next week.
