I’ve realized that I seem to write less when I have more of a constant connection to the internet, not more, as I expected. It’s rather odd; I had a very ritualized rule of writing every day when I was back in India, but when I’ve been back here in Oklahoma, blogging isn’t on the list of things to do daily. I don’t understand it, especially because it’s rather cathartic for me to write daily. So here’s hoping that I’ll be able to get back into it.
The Job Hunt
The job hunt is… continuing. I’ve currently got 4 “leads” if you want to term them as that. Four companies that are reviewing my resume, or have put me onto the next level of hiring. Is this good? Yes. But does this mean that I’ll get a job? No. I have to keep my head on my shoulders about this, and not start thinking of what I’ll buy when I finally have a steady job in America again. (Unfortunately I’ve already done that, and I want to help my parents financially, that’s number one for now.)
So I need to stay focused, keep applying, and try not to lose heart if someone doesn’t get back to me. E! Online, where I had applied, didn’t reply back. It sorta hurts, because I would’ve loved that opportunity. Plus, it’s in LA which is cool. And even though when I was applying I was absolutely terrified because I was afraid of failure, the fact that they haven’t contacted me really hasn’t disheartened me as much as I expected.
PHP
One of the jobs is requiring me to do a little assessment of PHP, which is a programming language that I am not very familiar with. I’m familiar with it in the sense that I know all about it (hell, SIN, where I worked, was programmed in PHP), but I’ve had minimal experience actually writing the code for it. So I’m learning that this weekend and will try the assessment on Monday or Sunday night. I suck at tests, by the way. But that’s the way the world works- tests.
And with that, I’m out. Those of you out there that pray– keep me in your prayers. Those that don’t, wish me luck.
