3:30 a.m.: Finally fall asleep
8:05 a.m.: “Hello, I’m from a recruiting agency you’ve already dealt with two other people from and I’ve read your resume and I’ve got a position for you. It’s in San Francisco and it’s a Java Developer position.” “I don’t know Java.” “Oh? You mean Java and JavaScript aren’t the same thing?” “No, they’re very different.” “Oh, sorry well.. blah blah blah” (already falling back asleep)
9:20 a.m.: “Hello, is Leon Lin there?” “Wha?” “Is Leon there?” “… uh… he’s asleep?” “Should I call back later?” “… …. I guess?”
10:30 a.m.: Phone rings, I let the machine get it, who knows…
11:20 a.m.: “Hello, is Leon Lin there?” “No.”
And couldn’t fall back asleep after that.
Do what I do. Turn the ringer off 🙂 They’ll be there when you wake up.
Dude, just learn friggen java. *I* can program in java. Me. You know me. If I can program in java, you can. I can even loan you a book.
Right, and I’m going to magically get 5 years of programming experience in Java in the next few months.
