*sob* Karen sent me a job description regarding someone needing a techsavvy female to help someone in the office. I applied several weeks ago, thinking that I would only have to troubleshoot basic problems. The employer called me later at 9 am in the morning a week later for a short interview. She told me that someone else would be calling me later. And that someone called me today. Unfortunately, I wasn\’t aptly prepared for the interview. Nor did I know it was going to take so long. He asked me questions about networking…some stuff that I didn\’t know. A lot of stuff that I BSed. No, I don\’t know how I would deal a dos program. No, I never used Windows ME (because it sucks). No, I never used BackupExec. No, I haven\’t ever heard of a legacy program. Dos programs are supposed to be EXTINCT. UGH, stupid intimidating problems. And the office is really far up in North Berkeley. So after the interview, the guy asked me whether I was still interested and I turned down the job offer, telling him that he could probably find a better candidate. Besides, I am already a RCC.
I am such a wananbe geek. Now I feel sad. :(
petpet… that stuff is lame anyway. dont worry about it ;)
I WANNA BE GEEK TOO!!!! we can geek out sometime jenn
*pat pat* ….. they are dumpy… you\’re a RCC!
DOS IS COOL!!! For a long time, and even now, I\’ll often just run the DOS prompt since I can do stuff much faster than with Windows sluggish interface.
Stop that Yeh. You\’re making me feel sad. :(
Err, you told me you didn\’t want the job. I still think you\’re geekier than me though, despite my knowing DOS. =P
DOS is EXTINCT! You hear that!? :D
i use the command prompt for compiling….
yeah herb… you and everyone else in the civilized world ;D jk.. but ya.. i like command like languages. DOS however, is pretty old, and i dont \”like\” it. :P It has been useful to know, but I\’ll admit there are certain things I\’ve forgotten how to do (like config dos mem manager properly :P) and had to bust out a book for.
