  • I think I got on the PATH. I would have been too cheap to pay for a cab.

    • Got an offer from General Electric. I'm nagging Google's HR people to actually give me an answer - ideally, I could cancel my Freddie Mac interview and a couple other prospective ones.

        • My preference is Google > GE ~= FM, with GE vs. FM decided by compensation.

          Chicago < DC, but getting a masters > not.

                  • apparently, most of the people i worked with in my last restaraunt now work for the one that i just applied to, with the caveat being that they're rather well staffed. the other places said they'd call me in the coming days, though i did speak to a manager at my first stop.

                    lamentably, my best bet is to go back on unemployment and continue working for my current employer 5-10 hours a week under the table.

                        • They're wankers. You're better off.

                          They ****ed me around for 2 weeks on a contract doing nothing til they belatedly decided to cancel the project.

                          Barclays was similar, and right after. They were arranging to have me come to London to work on a project there, and 3 weeks before I was slated to move out they cancelled that project.

                          • I haven't heard back from BarCap. They'll probably offer me a job in April.

                            • Two more emails from CS this morning; now I have 3 conflicting claims as to the status of my application.

                              According to one I should be interviewing
                              According to another I should be completing an online screening (?)
                              According to a third my application is about to be reviewed

                              I'm glad I already have a job and can just look on this as entertainment. Otherwise I might be getting antsy...

                              • on a particularly queer stroke of luck, i found out last night that the head chef at one of the restaurants i applied to is the boyfriend of a server where i work now. i now have an in somewhere, though i don't know if i want to continue in the restaurant business or move into residential health care (which is significantly more stable).
