General So we have these two bags of buffalo chicken wings from Costco in the freezer. Justin likes the drumstick-shaped pieces better, where I prefer the flat ones. So, I figure why not take a clean garbage bag, spread it out on the kitchen table, empty the contents of both bags, and sort by personal preference.
We can discuss my OCD later, but my reason for posting this journal is that in both bags, there were twice as many of the drumstick ones as the flat ones. I got totally cheated! But how does this even make sense? What kind of mutant birds did they make these wings out of anyway?

General This morning, I signed my official offer letter with KCDL. Assuming they don’t find any gremlins in my background check, I start on Monday!

General Well, the panel interview today went extremely well. I spoke with two distinct groups of people. The first was the learning technology group, where I’d be spending the majority of my time. I was peppered with a lot of technical questions about learning management systems, which I was (thankfully) able to answer without making a complete fool of myself. The second part of the interview was meeting individually with two managers in the academics group. That part also went well, and they seemed overjoyed that I had as much teaching and training background as I do.
Then, I met with Paul again, who pretty much offered me the job on the spot! He had talked to the other team members after each panel, and he said they had nothing but green lights all across the board, so I’m in! He still has to go through the requisition process with HR, but he said I should have a formal offer letter tomorrow morning. If all goes well, I start on Monday!
Hooray for jobzorzz!

General Posting this from a brand new iPad! Sadly, it’s not mine, but the device is pretty darned cool. I’m holding out for the 3G A1337 model, though.

General Today’s interview went amazingly well! The job really is a perfect fit with my background. The IT manager I spoke with kept smiling every time I answered a question of his, and he said point-blank I was the best candidate they’d interviewed so far. They’ve already scheduled a panel interview with the rest of the team for Tuesday morning. I think that’s a good sign!
Thanks for all the best wishes, and keep those fingers crossed!
