The inevitable questin is, 'How did it go?'
The answer: Really, really well.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
doomflower predicted at lunch that I'll probably have my new job in 2 weeks or so. I'm thinking she's probably right. I feel like I hit every target, and the only bit of constructive criticism I got at the Teksystems interview was that when I go to Progressive for them, I'll need a tie (true), that I'll need to make sure I keep eye contact while speaking, and not just when listening (true), and that I need to make sure I'm at the highest possible level of enthusiasm.
I feel good, and I feel like between the APT opportunity and the Teksystems opportunity, one of them is gonna hit gold.

Break time, then more weightlifting.
Apr. 2nd, 2004 04:29 pm1. What is your middle name?
James.
2. If you had been born the other sex, did your parents tell you what your name would have been?
Honestly, they didn't have any names picked out. I was named essentially at random. (True story: A bible fell on my dad's head, the day after I was born, while they were trying to decide names. He was struck by the Book of James and the Book of Matthew, so that's how they got the names and arranged them.)
3. Do you have children and if so, what are their names?
No kids!
4. If you were to ever have a child or more children, what would you name them?
Honestly, I don't know. :D This is why I listen toskarlette. She's got ideas and to spare. :D
5. Most people know their mother's maiden name, but do you know your grandmother's maiden name?
Granma was named Brown, and I'm not sure about my maternal grandmother. I think it might have been Welling, but since she died when my mom was little, I'm not even sure that my mom knows.
6. Did you have an imaginary friend as a child?
Oh, yes.
7. What was the name of your first pet?
Frisky, a kitten. Though we had a fishtank when I was a baby, apparently.
8. What was the name of the first person you ever kissed?
Playing kissing: Leah Fisher. Real kissing: April Ritts.
9. What was the name of the school you attended as a child?
Which one? Central College elementary, Emerson Elementary, Wilder Elementary, Blendon Middle School, Magnet School, Westerville North High, or...?
10. What was the name of your English teacher(s) in high school?
Ms. Campbell was the main one.
11. Do you name your vehicles? What are the name? I ought to, but I can't think of a good one. So it tends to get called things like 'jellybean', 'tadpole', 'piecashit', etx.

Short version: Go see it.
Long version: I was not entirely farmiliar with the books, but I really got captivated by the movie, and Ron Pearlman deserves an oscar for how well he communicates an incredibly deep amount of emotion and character through all that makeup. Go see it.
