ah, bugger

My new drip filter 10 cup (or 5 dencup) coffee maker doesn't make the coffee hot enough. I still have to nuke it it the microwave. I'm a bit upset about that.

Interview with KNet at 2pm today. The open position is in Orange, but they'll be hiring locally later. I don't want to go to Orange. I did Orange for two years. It's a horrible small town with sub-zero winters and crap pubs.

Admittedly the cook at The Metro is entertaining. My Mate The Legend laughed himself silly when the cook saw our orders and shouted from the kitchen "The want WHAT?! OYSTERS? I just put the fucking oysters away! No! We are OUT of oysters. AH FUCK! STEAK! You have GOT to be FUCKING kidding! AAAGH! Fucking STEAK! I just took it all downfuckingstrairs!"

His people skills were crap, but he did a nice steak and chips.

That went as well as could be expected pt2

Had an interview at KNet.

The office in on the 4th floor (US5th floor) of Oliver House - Dubbo's only building with more than 2 (US3) floors. We chatted, Mr Kanage pointed at the blue 10baseT twisted pair cable going into a printer. "Identify that." So I did. "Tell me how to take out a hard drive." So I did. "Tell me about ISDN." and so on.

after a while he said I was sketchy in the network side of things bat was hireable. Unfortuneatly there were no jobs in town, but Young Steve (who I used to work with a Dodgy Brothers Computers) and Scott (who I've known for ages) gave him a good report about me so he wanted to meet. There *is* a job at Orange but I'm not that desperate yet.

So here I am, drinking Jim Beam Black Label. mmmm.
