There's a Microsoft facility in Minneapolis. Christ help me, I actually sent my resume sent in. We'll see if\when I get a call back & survive the phone <s>interview</s> interrogation.

Work is work. Construction is shit here. I usually have odd work up until x-mas before it dries up til the spring. I myself am looking for a part time job. So if you get in ask them if they need some windows caulked or notwhat. Heh

They sent me the pre-interview questionnaire. I'm fairly certain I know the correct answers. I'd better since my current job just hacked off about 50 - 75% of my hours. Fuckers.

My buddy that works at that particular MS facility says they've still not filled the position yet. & yet she continues to bitch about putting in 60+ hour weeks.

Damn near all the DBs queries in the app I'm working on were written by goddamned user interface programmers. Some of them bordered on Lovecraftian in their ... construction.
