Monday

Unfortunately no news from the New Zealand job yet. I'll give it a few more days before I call them. At this point I've either made it past the second round or not, and there isn't anything I can do to influence the decision. It's just wait and see now.

I received buyer feedback for my stereo camera on Thursday. I assume this means that it has shipped and will arrive any day now. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Big Interview Tonight

Tonight at seven o'clock is interview number two for the job in Wellington. I spent yesterday evening preparing for it, writing myself notes on all the usual interview-y kind of questions (there are advantages to phone interviews - being able to discreetly refer to notes is a big one).

Annual Tax Rant

I hate paying money to figure out how much I money I have to pay.

It's like paying in advance for the privledge of spending a week to plan your own mugging, then mailing the money to the mugger who can't be arsed to show up.


A matter of cultural priorities

Ancient Romans had half a dozen shades of saying "I/me".

The Japanese have a dozen ways of saying "thank you".

The Innu have about two dozen ways of saying "snow".

The Hawaiians have about four dozen words for various types of ocean waves.
