Another positive day.  I had my face to face interview and I think it went well.  I am not sure they are going to offer me the programming job, but I didn't panic and I held my own.  Also, at the end the manager brought in two additional managers who have openings that will be made public in the near future to talk to me about those opportunities.  Unfortunately, I am not sure how this is all supposed to work with the consulting company I am working through--I guess I need to ask about that.

The bad part about today was that my friend who runs the D&D Encounters was stuck at work tonight and so we were unable to run the adventure.  I would have been happy to run it for him, but I was unable to get the materials from him.  Most of the group showed up, so we talked for about an hour.  I knew I was the oldest one there, but I wasn't sure just how young the others were.  Two of the guys were born around the time I graduated from high school and the young woman was younger than that.  It was an interesting discussion.  We talked mostly about gaming and computers.  While they were pretty young, so are home computers and video game consoles.  I still had a pretty fun time and got to know the group a little better.

The worst part of today was coming home and having the special on Tucson on TV.  I know it is a horrible tragedy and I feel for those people impacted, especially those who lost loved ones, but I didn't want to see that.  I ended up switching the channel and watching Iron Man for a while.  While I was catching up on Facebook I came across a link to Jon Stewart's commentary on the tragedy in Tucson.  I was actually impressed with what he said--he did ramble on a bit, but it seemed heart felt and genuine.

Tomorrow will be another day.
