Not Gonna Do It, At This Juncture
The presentation went well. I got some claps at the end. However, because most of them didn't know C# I lost them at the beginning at "Hello World." I had 25 topics to cover in 50 minutes. I was actually able to finish. It took me back to college when we had to take speech, in which we learned to give presentations. I remember my first one. I gave it over the styles of guitar players. I seem to remember every time I would mention the word guitar my hands would start strumming. I would use my hands like they were the guitar. This presentation today I was like George Bush, whenever I said quotations I would naturally put my fingers into a quotation style maneuver. I thought I was about to say "wouldn't be prudent at this juncture." Unfortunately my understanding of what quotations vs. parenthesis vs. brackets are is a little mixed up. I think they are all the same thing. I gauged the audiences confusion at that point. I would look around the room to see if they understood. There were maybe a couple of people who were nodding their head in agreement. The biggest thing about the presentation was the fact that we all had pizza, I think that in itself made it a success. They want me to do another one, for the pizza or the info? Changing topics, I've still got some interviews to go on. Microsoft is still interested in me, but this time up in Seattle, I might have to fly up there for a final interview. A big 6 consulting firm is interested me up in Cleveland. A hotel chain is interested in me in San Antonio, and a chain store is interested in me in Downtown Dallas. I am still holding on for a local gig. It'd be a big pain to move, especially since I have a house. However, if the job was really good and I investigated it fully and it was excellent I might actually move. Friends don't worry, I won't jump into anything bad like I have in the past. I'll probably be inundated next week with other interviews, I plan on taking everything into account. I am no longer afraid to ask about things like the commute, work environment, and hours. We shall see,
Thought of the Day
"I love these people. You can't ask them questions. They're so mentally gifted that we mustn't disturb the delicate genius unless it's in the confines of an office. When huge sums of money are involved then the delicate genius can be disturbed!"

While I'd hate to see you move off somewhere, you gotta do what you gotta do. However, you don't have to do anything. You can get a job anywhere. I would simply get one here. I hope you find whatever it is that you're looking for.
