had the phone interview after all. Company's small, so they can get away with this, I guess.
Ralph Brandi ๐บ๐ฆ-๐บ๐ธ @thereisnocat November 30, 2007 at 12:04:00 PM
couldn't reach the noon phone interview guy. That's twice now. Fuck 'em.
Ralph Brandi ๐บ๐ฆ-๐บ๐ธ @thereisnocat November 30, 2007 at 11:53:54 AM
has to prepare for an in-person interview in the city this afternoon after a phone interview at noon. Head is spinning.
Ralph Brandi ๐บ๐ฆ-๐บ๐ธ @thereisnocat November 29, 2007 at 11:37:37 PM
yup, definitely more interesting; blowout at the beginning, barnburner at the end
Ralph Brandi ๐บ๐ฆ-๐บ๐ธ @thereisnocat November 29, 2007 at 10:59:33 PM
thinks the game has turned out to be more interesting than it looked at first
Ralph Brandi ๐บ๐ฆ-๐บ๐ธ @thereisnocat November 29, 2007 at 8:42:30 PM
is watching the Rutgers-Louisville game turn into a blowout

just got a call from a very apologetic recruiter; phone interview is now tomorrow at noon
Ralph Brandi ๐บ๐ฆ-๐บ๐ธ @thereisnocat November 29, 2007 at 11:03:56 AM
gives up; no phone interview this morning, I guess
Ralph Brandi ๐บ๐ฆ-๐บ๐ธ @thereisnocat November 29, 2007 at 10:42:26 AM

thinks nobody else will think LSU looks like the number 1 team in the nation now either. Les Miles coaching his way out of the Michigan job?
Ralph Brandi ๐บ๐ฆ-๐บ๐ธ @thereisnocat November 23, 2007 at 6:08:58 PM
thinks LSU does not look like the number 1 team in the nation. Then again, neither does anyone else.
