Busyness during unemployment

1/19/2005 05:37:00 pm
It's amazing how busy I am, considering I'm unemployed. The last thing I remember was Elisa's BBQ (& our Tennis match) on Sunday, now it's freaking wednesday, and I've been doing stuff non-stop.

I have to get 10 people every fortnight who I've applied to work for. Sounds easy, right? For the dole bludgers it may be, but let me say it is not! I'm now on my second round of interviews with 3 companies. For some reason, this is keeping me busy all day every day (including weekends). Today I wanted to take it easy (mid-week, getting ready for the slog ahead), and I got an offer for casualish work and another interview call. Ouch this is heavy work.

All I'm thinking now is "just watch me mess this up!"

Not at all related, but does the page load incredibly slow for anyone else?

The Harpreet situation needs to be rectified.

Of course it's not related, coz, you know, I'm not important or anything.

The page indeed loads slowly. This is due to the PHP RSS to HTML changer, which is external and on a slow site. I'll see what I can do.

One day, we'll "fix" Harpreet good.

The way the page is designed, it doesn't seem easy to fix this. The big problem is that the sidebar loads a lot of external javascript. The main problem for this is the del.icio.us links, which I'm really reluctant to get rid of, since they're so cool.

It seems to have been fixed when I checked earlier today. I know the page has always been a little slower since you started using delicio.us, which I am fine with. When I said it was acting particularly slow, I mean taking over a minute (if it loaded at all).
