Okay, so the title is lame. But this post is to mark my participation in International Talk Like A Pirate<\/a> Day (TLAPD), for the first time ever.<\/p>\n

I became aware of it in 2002, the first year it was publicised.I missed it in 2003, visiting a college with my dad, and managed to miss it again in 04, as I was out of town for my cousin’s wedding. Being in Villa, there’s no chance of missing out on the day. <\/p>\n

This post will have to stand in for a much longer post that I had half written. I left it open, and FireFox crashed, taking the post with it.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I will mention that I (as expected) did not get the position of Peer Leader, but did browse the campus job listings (turning up “Hydro Ceramic Technician<\/a>“, among others). I applied for Web Engineer at KDUP, our campus radio station, and have an interview tomorrow.<\/p>\n

When I start thinking about the interview, I get nervous, perhaps because I’ve never done a formal interview. When I interviewed at the grocery store, not only was it not for a terribly important position to them, but I had the store owner (who I knew before I applied) pulling for me already. In fact, I was called in, even though they’d lost my application, and they spent the first few minutes trying to re-create the app, while looking for the original (which eventually turned up accidentally tucked inside someone else’s app).<\/p>\n

I have no idea how I stand tomorrow. The person who held the post was a Sophomore last year, which means that I’m not too young, in their eyes, but also that he’s still around on campus. I have no idea if he applied, but if he did, he’s got an advantage over me. Still, the e-mail to schedule an appointment opened with the line “We were impressed with your application for the web tech position at KDUP.” (But that could well be a standard line used when calling people in to interview.) At any rate, I’ll find out soon enough.<\/p>\n

Stible Buddy, right now, so I’m off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
