Arrggh! Dammit!

I applied for an RCC job a while back. I just got an email saying I'm not what they're looking for in an RCC, but I'm on a wait list to be a Get Connected team member this August. Meaning that I have a very slim chance to get a computer job this fall.

This fucking sucks. I'm going to need a break soon, or else I may end up flipping burgers when I graduate for lack of work experience.

Did you have the opportunity to list references, and did you list me?

I didn't have the opportunity. But since I don't really know you in a professional capacity, it wouldn't have occurred to me to do so. Your name did come up, however -- one of the interview questions was "What would you tell someone if they asked if Tech had a virus/spam problem?" I replied (in short), "We don't very often, thanks to Ron." That may or may not be true, but I did know that you worked on that spam classification system, and that you spend a great deal of your time working with the virus filters, but it made sense at the time.

Technically, being adviser *is* in my professional capacity... It just doesn't involve a lot of programming usually :-)
