Daily rituals

10:10 AM - Explain to yet another FedEx guy that no, Tania doesn't actually live here any more. (This has happened, I swear, at least ten times in the three weeks or so we've been here.)

11:05 AM - Explain to yet another recruiter what the difference is between a games programmer and a tools programmer. Make the usual lame jokes about commuting, whilst secretly hoping that I can find one HELL of a good short cut if I'm going to be commuting to the Valley every day.

11:15 AM - Fight off desperate urge to play solitaire instead of job hunting.

Repeat until employed, dead, or certifiably insane....

son of a...!

In all the excitement today, I forgot I'm still sick. Time to fall over now. Oops.

(Still, any day when I get asked what my ideal job would be *and* have recruiters fighting over me is a good day. I passed a wee Linux quiz too. That part was just silly.)

I'm a Christmas carol I've never heard of.

Which is a bit ironic, considering the description is pretty accurate.


You are 'Adam Lay Y Bounden'! Ah, you appear to be
something of a Christmas snob. Whether you are
a musician who has sung one carol service too
many, or merely someone with very highbrow
views on music and culture, you shudder at the
thought of piped music in lifts, wince at
endless repetitions of Jingle Bells and have
put out a contract on Rudolph. While you agree
that some of the well-known carols are lovely,
you are more drawn by the really obscure
medieval carols, or the ones arranged by Bach.
You also know parodies of several carols - a
legacy of excessive carolling, or perhaps just
the product of an enquiring and slighly cynical
mind... Try to enjoy Christmas, anyway.
