Thoughts and things

[unixronin]

Ever wondered about why we, as a race, can act like such complete assholes to people we don't know?  It's all about the monkeysphere.

Ever wanted an invisibility cloak, or a cloaking device?  Now you can have one... just so long as whatever you want to make invisible is the size of a single wavelength of light, and you only need to make it invisible in monochromatic light.

Thankfulness?  Sure, for unexpected words of appreciation when you really, really need them.  Compensated for by frustrations including having to decline an interview for a job because it paid so little I could not have stayed at it anyway, because I couldn't possibly have supported cymrullewes and the girls on it in the Bay Area.

"Practice interview" == bad idea:

• This wastes the interviewer's time--especially bad if the interviewer eventually finds out the candidate has no intention of actually taking the job.
  
• Depending on scheduling, this may prevent an interested candidate from interviewing in that same time slot.
  
• If you go into it knowing you're not interested, the pressure and anxiety won't be there...but learning to handle those is really what successful interviewing is all about

Being up front and honest is the best option.
