Working man
I’ll be starting my first day of work at Isilon Systems on Tuesday as a Quality Assurance Engineer II. You no longer need to refer to me by name, calling me QAE2 will work just fine. ;P
Interview
Well, I had my first good screening. I spoke with Aaron, who reminded me a lot of myself (or perhaps a younger version of myself). I think the interview/screen went really well. I will wait to hear back from Isilon. In more important news, I spoke with Eriko on the phone today. I don’t think speaking is the right word. Hearing her voice sends me soaring. aishiteruyo, Eriko hime.
Like a King
No wonder my belly isn’t as small as it used to be! For brunch this morning, I was treated to pancakes and bacon. For dinner, I will eat some absolutely DELICIOUS Indian food. My mouth is watering even now, as I think about it waiting for me in the kitchen. I just spoke with my parents, they are doing well. The driveway for their new home in Pennsylvania was completed and they were able to park their temporary (aka motorhome) on their property.
Moving day!
No, not for me. For my good buddy Alex. He and his wife will move back to Seattle, after a year and some stint in Federal Way. I hope he can find a good job up North so he doesn’t end up moving back south. I’m getting tired of moving him all the time. ;P Eriko, I can barely wait to move us. X)
Isilon
Big day on Monday, I have a phone call with a gentleman from Isilon. The job sounds exciting, the company sounds exciting, the work sounds exciting, the location sounds exciting. I hope it all turns out true. ;P Right now I am eating lentil soup made by the fantastic Gateway to India on 6th Ave. Truely splendid. Drooooolll……
Japanese Restaraunt
Well, I’ll have to admit I felt like a college student a bit tonight. I went to dinner (organized by the Japanese teachers) with several students (about 30). I rode with four youths, with some Japanese pop blasting (hurting my ancient ears). I was the only one at the table to order some sake, and the way back home consisted of listening to Star Wars. It was an entertaining evening, but we didn’t speak much Japanese!
