So last week I applied for a couple jobs – not specifically because I want to leave my current job but because they were companies that I really really want to try my hand at working for: Apple and Google. Last night I had a very strange dream. I was in a cafeteria like place with Larry Page, Jonathon Schwartz and Steve Jobs, they were all working on paperwork type stuff at different tables, and my ex-director was there too. I was walking around, trying to get up the nerve to approach them and ask for a job. Schwartz was playing with some juggling balls and I fooled around with him a bit, showing off my mad juggling skills (of which I have none in RL), and when I was done, he smiled and went back to his paperwork. I turned around and Page was looking at me, and said “On monday, email me your resume”. Then he looked at another person that had come in behind me, obstensibly for the same thing (with resumes, looking for work) and said nothing to that person, and gave him the finger. I was elated. On my way out of that dream-cafeteria-setting, my ex-director asked me a question about incremental linkers and command switches. Not too sure about that part though. A good omen, no?
