The Ocho, Huit, Acht, Otto!

Yes, it was D8, and it was the MOST productive day yet! Things are only getting better as I slowly recover from the plague, and the work I've been doing has been paying off.

I did some homework (re: a lot) before heading off to my interview at Awesome company around mid day. Of course parking in SOMA is a nightmare, and well, to say the least, I only had about 90 minutes of parking before my car would get towed, so although I hoped I would hit it off really well with the company, I was also hoping for a short interview to save me from a huge fine and missing car.

Well, the interview went, and I think I did a pretty excellent job. Not to go into too much detail about it, I really like the company, the people, and what they're working on, so it wouldn't be difficult at all to rally behind the site and become number one cheerleader extraordinare.

My Mom had been planning on coming over for MONTHS to come clean our carpets, completely unsolicited, because she thinks they're dirty and gross and smelly, and today seemed to be a good day to do it. So I called her after the interview and she started her way into the city. Of course, as luck would have it, another head on collision on the Golden Gate Bridge caused a crippling traffic jam, and she had to turn around at Sausalito to head home. I was a little heart broken, I was so looking forward to clean, fresh carpets. Another day will do though.

This was, of course, the second time my Mom was trying to get into the city when there was an accident on the bridge. Her timing is impeccable.

So the rest of the day was spent doing some "homework" for Awesome company so I could put together an action plan for them concerning the job, as well as some general thoughts, as well as having the luxury of contemplating what to eat, since solid food is finally an option.

All in all, D8 was a great day, and I hope that everything goes well with Awesome company. I'll also take this time to say that I'm taking the weekend and heading up to Shasta, where *gasp* the internet is spotty, and I doubt I'll be bringing my computer up. So don't expect any grand updates, but know that I'm hopefully healthy and close to being employed. Fingers crossed!
