Google Calling!
As with most calls to my cell phone, I didn’t answer the one today and unusually the caller left me a voicemail. Well, it was a pleasant lady claiming she was from Google and did I want to apply for a job at their new Irvine campus? And to prove it, I later got an email with some job details and a repeat of the request.
I applied for a job with them in Santa Monica a few years ago and was turned down, and it appears that my resume was still in the system for my name to come up. I’m not sure I am Google material, and I am really not sure if I am ready to work in Irvine but it sure was nice to get a call from a company that most everyone would love to work for.
And in case my employer is watching? Thanks for last week’s bonus and I have a doctor’s appointment next week, yes, that’s it.
Losing it with Google Mail!!!
My google mail was unavailable for a large part of yesterday and has now been inaccessible all day today. According to a statement on their groups page they are “working on it” but no progress for my account that I can see. Or anyone else’s for that matter. It only a “small subset” of poor losers that are suffering but it is very annoying all the same.
In the meantime I added one of those twitter dealies to my sidebar…. but without the gmail interface its too much of a pain to update! Though I could use the cellphone if it didn’t cost 15c a pop (thanks Verizon!).
