one day, he'll stop yammering about this job application thing

[alexr_rwx]

Okay, the whole google application thing is now out of my hands; they've got eight interviews, an updated transcript, my fresh-off-the-pdflatex resume/CV/thing, and everything that the entire internet has ever known about me. That was pretty lengthy. I'll have a Final Answer next week, apparently. My recruiter, who's been super-nice this whole time, says prospects are very good, having gotten this far (past the NYC committee, now the executive dudes in California have to decide), but I want to be more like "pleasantly surprised" if it works out instead of Pretty Disappointed if it doesn't... I ordered a Dinosaur Comics shirt to pseudo-celebrate, the "Professor Science" one.

I'ma go apply for some other jobs, just in case.

Oh, I suppose I should be doing work for that whole "still a gradstudent" thing too, huh?

The sault-man cometh, tomorrow. w00t :)

8 Interviews? Jeepers. I would have bailed out long before then.

Good luck, still!

They were all fun, it turns out :)

Except that last weird one, where the guy asked me about project-management and disagreements with coworkers! That was surprising and unnerving!

And thank'y kindly!

It was? Really?

Wow. I sort of remember academia.

So super-cool! I wish you great luck.

And, d00d, if you do get it, I'll be able to pop down to NY for the weekend and visit you! Or you could totally live in New Haven and commute to NY (apparently we're technically within the NY metropolitan zone, and a lot of people do it). And then I would get to infiltrate Google and steal their hippy food! Mwahaha!

Almost!

You might be able to infiltrate the Goog and take liberties with the hippy food, but only if you come to the Atlanta office :)

Until/unless I transfer somewhere else, that is! I was just thinking about how much I enjoyed NYC when I was there...

[lindseykuper]

If you get the job, do consider NYC. I'm there every now and again for work, and we could hang out together wearing Dinosaur Comics shirts. (I've got the "skateboarding out of a friggin' crashing helicopter" one!)

(only if shouting "extreeeeme!" is involved)

[oniugnip.livejournal.com]

Waal, whether or not transfers are involved (I really do like Atlanta), it's pretty likely that I'd be making visits to Mountain View and NYC anyway :)

Also! Chickens and injective functions with the natural numbers, or something?

aw, andre loves you.
and probably so does Google! *crosses fingers*

And after that day I fully expect to hear all about you 'yammering' about your job at google thing

Hope they tell you soon.

Looks out, yo! Ima coming!
