Month: November 2004

I got a call from Adam at Eliasson. The customer didn’t think I had the experience they wanted. I’m a little frustrated, but not entirely upset. I wasn’t thrilled with that opportunity. I’m really hoping that the folks at Leapfrog come through at Eaton Vance for me. I’ve been talking to Meagan at TekSystems in… Continue reading One up, one down

Adam from Eliasson called me back. He wanted to know what I thought. I think it went well, but I’m not always the best judge of these things. I think he’s concerned because he knows I have something pending at Eaton Vance. He wants this client to move very quickly. The job at Workscape is… Continue reading Adam

I called Juan today. He’s the guy who owns the apartment I found. Well, the apartment found me on Saturday. I wanted him to know that I still want the place and that I’m waiting on a job offer. I made sure he had my number so that he’d call me before giving the apartment… Continue reading New Place

I still haven’t heard anything about the position at Eaton Vance yet. I know they want to talk to me, and I’m very eager about this. The job sounds like a perfect fit for me. This morning, I had a phone interview with Workscape. That was the one set up by Adam at the Eliasson… Continue reading Interview and Opportunity

These people really screen their candidates before submitting them to the client. But here is the key: they are the only company submitting people, and… Continue reading Interviews

I have an interview in Boston on Friday with LeapFrog. I know I’ll be meeting with their client, but I don’t know who the client is. Later today, I got a call from Mark at Cyprus systems, who is trying to place me with a client in Boston as well. He said that the client… Continue reading Interview(s)

Last night, I got a call from Rich Moulison at LeapFrog Systems in Boston. He liked what he saw on my resume. He said he’d call me today. And he did. We talked for a while and he liked what I had to say. He had his boss call me, and we talked for about… Continue reading Leapfrog

I just got a call from Tessa at Applus Technologies with a call for a job that sounds interesting. It was the first time my phone rang on a Monday, which is rather odd. US-RI-Warwick-System Administrator

This is a message I sent to my friend Liz who works in Boston: When I get moved, you and I are going to play hookey some day and take the ferry to East Hampton, NY. I want to go to Ina Garden’s Barefoot Contessa specialty food store. You’re the only person I know who… Continue reading Barefoot Contessa

I just talked to my friend DJ a few minutes ago on AIM. I told him I was moving to PVD. He said he has a hot friend in PVD. I reminded him that he has a hot friend in just about every city. Then again, he used to be a flight attendant.
