Today was the second
interview with
CHUM Radio, and they
tag teamed me again.
The first time, it was in a small office, in a cozy little environment with the
HR people for new media, and the head of the
webstuff... Joking around, asking questions, playing with computers. This time, it was in the two-dozen-person boardroom, with a
projector so that I might walk the
personnel manager through my websites, and the
creative process employed in their creation, as well as the application of
usability techniques.
It was rough, but I think I made it.
They want me to do twenty
banner ads over the next week from home, on twenty different music
genres they’ve provided me with. Not
products, or
websites, but
music genres. Interesting hiring process.
This work is paid, and if they like what they see at the end of a week, or however long it takes me to finish the project... Then all is well, and I imagine I will be
gainfully employed.

Richard just got confirmation of his job at
Nortel, but it doesn’t start until the
new year. He is unimpressed.
He thinks that we’re like
red superman, and
blue superman. We’re both
leet, and empowered with all kinds of mega-abilities, but we can’t both use them at the same time. If job things are going well for me, they’re going poorly for him. When my love life kicks in, his goes dry. When he’s on a
killer design streak,
I can’t even make boxes in photoshop.
We even have pairs of glasses we can use to hide our identities in public. No-one seems to notice me behind
geekboi rims.
...
Soon, I will know what’s going on.
Soon.
