In the words of the great Mr. Burt Bacharach, I am "wishing and hoping and thinking and praying" because I still need a job. My interview last week at the institute went well or at least I think so. Yesterday I wrote them a thank you letter and today it will go out in the mail. Keep your fingers, toes, arms, and legs crossed for me to get this one. I'd really fit in well with their software engineering department. I'd be comfortable working there. I hope it works out and if it doesn't that there is something even better.
The other boat on the horizon is the one that includes training in a new programming language for me. I don't have a great deal of enthusiasm for becoming a code monkey but I know it as a familiar niche. The programming interview is scheduled for the first of the month and I will be staying up there for an unrelated dinner party.
