Interview tomorrow so of course I'm staying up late the night before. (Brain chemistry/depression/ADHD/insomnia has nothing to do with it).

Been a few good days at work, been working solid days writing code and feeding good about myself. Broke nonprod this afternoon but only for an hour or so, and it was installing an update that people have been asking about for a while.

I think I've cracked the combinations/bag packing problem that Husband gave me (something about fitting enchants to equipment). Turns out I really like the algorithm stuff, it gives my brain a useful workout.

However. I'm going to grab a snack and call it a day. Tomorrow will be here soon enough, I can do the interview and then forget about it (although CS Jobs posted me a "Senior DevOps Engineer" advert that has management responsibilities, I'm a bit tempted by).

Alright gentletheys, that was the interview. Took about forty minutes, four questions, not sure any of them covered the topics the advert said, but I think I coped well enough (I've read the guidelines enough that I can hit the right words, maybe).

Should hear back next week sometime. (Yes, form a certain point of view the job was aimed right at me, but I trust that the panel will judge people fairly, just because the squew is in my favour doesn't make it any better.)

Earlier today I again performed the sacred ritual of "The Job Interview".

I suffered the ritual cleansing, daubed myself with unglents said to be pleasing to the Gods (I argued against it, since it was a video call, but Husband wisley suggested it would be a bad idea to insult the Gods on ritual day), and donned the sacred robes (thanks again Maisie for the tie!)

I improvsed poems on the four themes given; 'The Fall of Leaves in Springtime', 'The Emperor's Third Penguin' (that threw me a bit of a curve, I'd ony read up on the First and Fourth Penguins), 'The Use And Practice of Caching in a Hetrogenous Network Environment' (Easy, a standard ABC CBA rhyme scheme), and 'Duty' (Duty always comes up, so I used the poem I prepared last night).

I await the Emperor's messenger who will hopefully bring me the blue coral button that marks one as a 'Senior' developer.

(The interview went well, I think, although I've got quality competition. I should hear back in a week. Its a promotion within my team, looks like it's going to be roughly the same kind of work, but probably with a bit more managent thrown in. +300£/month net) (I am going to be so depressed if I don't get it.)
