The good, the bad, and the uncertain

[unixronin]

The good:  The heatwave that's made this place unbearable for the past month and gave us a $370 power bill for May seems to have broken.  You can step outside without feeling as though you're in a hothouse or a sauna.

The bad:  While my big toe is healing up well, the little toe on that foot is still trying to twist and curl under the toe next to it.  This is a painful process.  I'm therefore scheduled for surgery on that toe again on 7/21.

The uncertain:  No feedback from either Google interview yet.  The HR rep promised to follow up with the interviewers and let me know the status, but has not yet gotten anything back to me.  I don't know whether this means they're busy, they're still talking it over, or I came across so badly they're embarrassed to talk to me.

i hear that unless you have enough references that already work at google, you're unlikely to get in.

Plus I lack the requisite three Ph.Ds.

I'm sorry to hear about your toe (what is it with us and feet, anyway?) and as for the uncertain, it seems to me that the waiting around to hear back is just about the worst bit. Try not to doubt yourself like that - the reasons for the delay could, and in all probability don't, have anything to do with you or your performance at the interview.

Holding all kinds of goodthoughts for you and yours ...
