Interview

I took the time to shake some depression off me and got ready for this interview.

I prayed, I ironed and then I walked out of the front door.

The weather was mild which was answered prayer by itself.

I got downtown at ~11 and looked for the address in Maps. After that, I just started walking.



I arrived 20 minutes early and heard "Wow..." from a nearby office as I told Julie, the attendant, who I was.

Charles came to interview me and asked me about my experience and where I was working. I answered those questions and more questions related to my work experience.

I asked him the same and found out a lot of things:


  • the current state at the job

  • they use macs. I laughed at the irony

  • they may need me to learn sysadmin stuff

  • he visited my website and enjoys my thoughts on simplicity

  • he likes my personal interests bc they are active

  • he likes to bike

  • he sees me as a problem solver



We shared other common interests and I told him about evernote. We talked about mobile development (a wish-list item for them) and good places to bike in Athens. I tried not to say too little or too much.

Pay came up and I told him how I felt (I don't care) and he told me that the company is a stepping stone for most people that apply themselves.

He's on vacation next week so I should hear back from him in early September. I'll pray and keep praying and looking and see what happens, but they seem like laid back people and I really think working there would be awesome.

Now I have to deal with the next thing on my mind: rent. Landlord called. No idea what I'm going to do. I prayed and I feel relieved but I don't know what will happen. I can't cate right now, though. I have a company to run.

After that: projects.
