Effective Pizza
Hmm, what to talk about today. Sometimes I have no idea. Today should be busy. I went to a recruiter this morning and will go to one at lunch. In the meantime I am creating a presentation called "Effective C#: 25 Ways to Improve your Coding" that I am going to be giving tomorrow at a "brown-bag" lunch. In the work world that is a term used to describe working during lunch hours. The good thing is that the company will usually pay for pizza or subs or something while everyone is doing it. So I have to get up in front of our 20 person team and give this presentation while they are all munching on pizza. I wonder if I could eat while I was doing it? Nah, I'd end up talking with my mouth full. I am wondering what it is going to end up like. I'd say out of 20 people only 4 will really understand what I am talking about. If I take questions we'll be there all day. No one really asked me to do this, I just took it upon myself to create it. So under the guise of becoming a better worker I created this presentation. The reality is that it was for me to sharpen my C# skills for tech interviews and not for them, but I am not going to tell them that. I think I am beginning to master technical interviews. There is only a set amount of questions that someone can ask. All you have to do is research interview questions and memorize the answers. The tech interview I went on this morning was supposed to last 35 minutes. It took me 5. I read each question and quickly selected the answers like I was a genius or something, but I clearly am not. Anyway, when I give this presentation I hope my nervous laugh doesn't come back. I can imagine "See ,hehe, structs go on the stack, hehe, and classes go on the heap, hehe, so it's better to use structs for data, hehe, and classes for behaviour, hehe". Eh, they're there for the pizza anyways.

"Yes, I admit I was speeding, but it was to save a man's life. A close friend. An innocent person who wanted nothing more out of life than to love, to be loved, and to be a banker."
