I like long walks on the beach, clubbing seals, and alphabetizing spice cabinets.

Hey becca, been quiet lately. How goes the job search?

Gosh! I thought I had put my “looks a bit like Jesus” days behind me when I cut off my hair…

Pete, random thing that just occurred to me… When I see your avatar out of the corner of my eye (such as when I’m reading your posts), it looks a lot like the Jesus Mii on my Wii. And it too me a really long time to figure out what was so familiar about it, because when viewing it directly, it doesn’t look like that at all.

Just thought I’d share.

Except it turns out people who major in math and Russian aren’t really in high demand.

You can help us in the Cold War!! Not that Cold War. The second one, the secret one.

Ahhh, a tech job. I’ve been looking for a tech job for about, oh, 7 months to the day. :( Not to paint a bad picture for you or anything. Hahaha. I think it may be easier actually for a younger person to get hired than someone my age (36). So, hopefully something will come up for you. Good luck!

Thanks! I’m mostly looking for tech jobs now, since that’s where all my experience lies, anyway. Now, if only someone would put out the call for Russian-speaking Jr. DBAs, I’d be set…

Hey there! Congrats on graduating! Too bad the weather didn’t cooperate. Math and Russian, huh? Hmm. Not sure how that can combine into something. I have to give it some thought. Do you play chess? That’s sort of math based and most of the greats seem to come from Russia. :)

Hi Becca!

blog?

So apparently all the cool kids are using these “blog” things now to let people know what’s new in their lives. I guess I can do that.

Yesterday I graduated from college. It was cold and rainy and miserable. But now I’ve got a diploma. So that’s cool. Except it turns out people who major in math and Russian aren’t really in high demand.

What kind of world do we live in that Mathematicians aren’t in high demand?! That’s utterly scandalous. On the other hand, there are plenty of math-related things you could do. (A lot of the most interesting computer science topics use hardcore math. Which makes me sad, because I don’t have all the math I need to understand them…)
