I'm feeling quite a bit better now, so I have made an executive decision to not do any homework, and to instead post, so as to keep the natives happy. See, if the natives are happy, they're less likely to commit hari-kari, thus staying around and providing me with continued amusement.
I sitll have no idea what I caught. I chalked it up the flu; told my professors that because it sounded vaguely dangerous enough to skip class for. I really don't know, though. All I know is that I got back Saturday evening from fixing a friend's mom's computer, realized that everything ached all of a sudden, took Tylenol and crashed in the bedroom. At 6:30pm. Which is hardly normal, to say the least. I pretty much watched TV all day on Sunday, missed all my classes today (Monday), and lost a whole lovely weekend.
Oh, well.
So anyway, Thursday was the Career Fair. I got all professional-looking (a monumentous event in itself), and wandered over with my resume in tow. I talked to people from Rockwell Collins and L-3 Communications, gave them both my resume, and went to lunch. It was a good day's work. Then on Friday, the guy from Rockwell Collins was interviewing people, including me. It took about forty-five minutes,
*takes short break to feed self cough syrup*
Ugh. Nasty stuff.
So, anyway, I think the interview went well. I always think it's a hopeful prospect when they say "you're the kind of person we're looking for." Couldn't promise anything, of course; it's far too early for that yet. But in a few weeks they're supposed to be flying people up for more extended interview. If I get in on that I'll be quite happy.
See, working for Rockwell Collins is the best possible situation, at this point. They're based in Cedar Rapids, only 2 hours from my house. I really, really want to be closer to home for at least the next couple of years. They also get to work with all kinds of great stuff. Integrated hardware and software for airplanes and communication, not to mention the DoD work.
So I'm rather happy about that so far.
And there they are, the promised further details. Now I must be off to bed. Sleep calls.
