So I'm sitting in the lobby because I'm not checked into a room yet (long story) and she walks up to me with a coworker and says hi! And he have a happy enthusiastic conversation about the programming books we're all reading, and my network analysis on the plane wifi, and the t-shirt that she gave me that I modded. And she's going to send me "the survey" which is part of the potential-hire process. And I am extraordinarily happy because this makes THREE companies that have me on round two of their hiring process!
It still remains to be seen whether any of them will hire me. I'm actually financially decent for now, although I would really love a change in circumstances. And I fully expect to find amazing possibilities at the GHC fair. Getting paid to do what I consider fun? I could be so lucky!
